5. Translate into English:
1. Симптомы обычной простуды включают насморк, заложенные носовые проходы, боль в горле, боль под глазами в защечной области, жар, кашель и просто паршивое самочувствие. 2. Нужно помочь природе преодолеть болезнь. 3. Одной-единственной таблеткой быстро не вылечишься. 4. Лекарственные препараты на время облегчают состояние, хотя не излечивают болезнь. 5. При сильном сухом кашле могут помочь обычные ингаляции. 6. Главное при простуде не переохладиться снова, иначе микробы опять получат опору для развития. 7. При простуде лучше всего не переедать или поголодать несколько дней, ограничившись свежими фруктовыми соками. 8. Витамины вряд ли помогут вылечить простуду, но богатая витаминами пища снизит риск инфекции. 9. Не пытайтесь лечить простуду антибиотиками! 10. Во время простуды старайтесь избегать как активного, так и пассивного курения.
Dialogues At the Physician's
Doctor: Good morning. Ah, here's your case record. McBride, isn't it?
Ann: Good morning, Doctor. Yes, Ann, Ann McBride.
Doctor: Well, what's the trouble, Miss McBride?
Ann: I feel hot and feverish and I've got a sore throat.
Doctor: Now, let's have a look at you. Slip off your coat and blouse. I'd like to listen to your chest. Breathe in then cough. That's it. Now again. Thank you. Put on your clothes. Now I'll take your temperature. Put it (the thermometer) under your tongue. Well, it is a bit high. We'll have to do something about it, won't we? Have you been coughing much?
Ann: Yes, quite a lot, and sneezing.
Doctor: I want to examine your throat. Open wide. Say "Ah".
Ann: Aaaaahh.
Doctor: Yes, it does look a bit sore. You've got a cold but not a very bad one. You'd better have a couple of days in bed.
Ann: What about the throat, Doctor?
Doctor: I'm giving you a course of antibiotics. Take one capsule every four hours. Here's the prescription.
Ann: Thank you, Doctor. Good-bye.
At the Surgeon's
Two friends help Bill Dawning walk into the surgery.
Doctor: What's wrong with your leg, boy?
Dawning: I'm afraid it's a fracture, Doctor.
Doctor: How did it happen?
Dawning: I was playing a game of tennis. Running to get the ball I slipped and fell down on my leg. I felt an awful pain when I tried to get up. My friends had to help me get there.
Doctor: That's too bad. You should have been careful. Well, we'll start with the x-ray examination. Now sit down in this chair and the nurse will take you to the x-ray room.
(A few minutes later the nurse drives Bill Dawning back into the surgery. She passes the x-ray pictures to the doctor.)
Doctor: (after examining the pictures): Unfortunately, it is a fracture. You'll have to stay in hospital, son.
Dawning: How long do you think I'll have to stay here?
Doctor: I think not less than a couple of weeks.
