Twenty-Four Hours | 二十四小时

English Original

A doctor walks into the room and tells his patient, "I have some bad news and some very bad news."

The patient, resigned to his fate, says, "Well, might as well give me the bad news first."

"The lab called with your test results," the doctor began. "Unfortunately, you've got a rare condition and they said you have 24 hours to live."

"24 Hours!?" exclaimed the patient. "That's terrible! What could be worse than that? What's the very bad news?"

"I've been trying to reach you since yesterday."

一位医生走进房间,告诉他的病人:“我有一个坏消息和一个非常坏的消息。”

病人听天由命地说:“好吧,不妨先把坏消息告诉我。”

“实验室打来电话告知了你的检测结果,”医生开始说道。“不幸的是,你得了一种罕见的病症,他们说你还剩24小时可活。”

“24小时!?”病人惊呼。“太可怕了!还有什么能比这更糟?那个非常坏的消息是什么?”

“我从昨天起就一直在尝试联系你。”
