Change Your Business | 换个工作

English Original

The doctor examined his patient's tongue, felt his pulse, and tapped his chest. "Same old story, my friend. Too much confinement. Don't deny it. What you need is plenty of outdoor exercise. Walk. Walk."

"But, doctor..."

"Don't argue with me. I am the doctor. Take my advice. Walk ten times as much as you do now. That's the only thing that will cure you."

"But my business..."

"That's just the trouble. Your business! Well, change your business so you can get a chance to walk more. What is your business?"

"I'm a letter-carrier."


中文翻译

医生检查了病人的舌头,号了脉,又敲了敲他的胸口。"还是老问题,朋友。活动太少了。别否认。你需要大量的户外运动。走路。走路。"

"可是,医生……"

"别跟我争辩。我是医生。听我的建议。把你现在的步行量增加十倍。这是治好你的唯一方法。"

"但是我的工作……"

"这正是问题所在。你的工作!好吧,换个工作,这样你就有机会多走路了。你是做什么的?"

"我是一名邮递员。"
