Todd: So, Barbara, we're talking about your time in the hospital. You were in the hospital for sometime. First of all, how long were you actually in the hospital?
托德:芭芭拉,我们来谈谈你在医院的生活。你住了一段时间的院。你住了多长时间的院?
Barbara: Well, I was in two hospitals actually. At first, I was in a big hospital for three and a half weeks and I was on a drip for all of that time, and they didn't let me eat anything, and the first couple of days, they also didn't let me drink anything.
芭芭拉:嗯,其实我是在两家医院接受的治疗。一开始,我在一家大医院入院治疗了三周半,那段时间我一直在打点滴,他们不让我吃东西,前几天的时候医生甚至都不让我喝水。
Todd: Whoa!
托德:哇!
Barbara: Yeah.
芭芭拉:对。
Todd: So you were on a drip… I'm sorry, how long?
托德:抱歉,你打了多长时间的点滴?
Barbara: Three and a half weeks.
芭芭拉:三周半。
Todd: Whoa! No solid food for three and a half weeks.
托德:哇!三周半没有吃固体食物。
Barbara: No food for three and a half weeks.
芭芭拉:三周半没有吃东西。
Todd: Man!
托德:天哪!
Barbara: Yeah, I was dreaming about my mother's cooking, and I was dreaming about roast chicken and roast lamb and man, the smells and the tastes came back to me, but there was no food.
芭芭拉:对,当时我梦到过我妈妈做的饭,还有烤鸡和烤羊,我都能想起这些美食的味道,可是我不能吃东西。
Todd: But after like, say two weeks or something, does your body just get used to not having food?
托德:那两周之后,你的身体是不是已经习惯不进食了?
Barbara: Yeah. Yes, it does. Definitely. And I lost a lot of weight, but actually I felt fine. Friends who came to visit me in the hospital were surprised and they were like, "Wow! Where's the rest of you?"
芭芭拉:对,没错。就是这样。那段时间我瘦了很多,不过我感觉还好。来探望我的朋友走进病房看到我以后都特别惊讶,他们的反应是:哇!你怎么瘦了这么多?
Todd: You did lose a lot of weight. Actually, how much weight did you lose?
托德:你的确瘦了很多。你体重减了多少?
Barbara: I lost, well, I started losing weight because I was changing my diet just before I got ill. In the last eighteen months, I've lost twenty kilos.
芭芭拉:我生病以前已经开始改变饮食习惯,所以那时我就开始减轻体重。过去18个月以来,我瘦了20公斤。
Todd: Whoa! That's a lot.
托德:天哪!你真的瘦了很多。
Barbara: That is, indeed, yeah.
芭芭拉:没错,是的。
Todd: Twenty kilos… Wow! Well, you look great. You must feel great.
托德:20公斤……哇!你看起来很不错。你一定感觉很棒。
Barbara: I feel much better. Actually I think sick with that was probably a good thing. It made me take stock and reevaluate things and get healthy.
芭芭拉:我感觉好多了。实际上,我觉得这么看来,这场病可能对我来说是件好事。因为它让我全面审视自己,重新考虑现状,变得更健康。
