I am so glad you are finally home, mom.
妈妈,你终于回家了,我太高兴了。
I missed you, Alex. It’s been about one month. I’m so happy to be back.
我很想你,亚历克斯。已经差不多一个月了。我很高兴能回家。
You look tired, mom. I guess you have hard days at work, haven’t you?
妈妈,你看起来很疲惫。我想你工作很辛苦吧?
Yes, I have. Nursing is no easy job. But I like to look after patients.
是的,我很辛苦。护理并不是一个容易的工作。但我喜欢照顾病人。
I guess you need to do a lot of things, like taking temperatures, visiting patients regularly and making sure that they take medicine on time.
我想你需要做很多事情,比如量体温、定期探望病人、以及确保他们按时吃药。
Right. Besides, I have other important duties.
是这样的。除此之外,我还有其他重要的职责。
You do?
是吗?
Sure. Today we have several operations and I cleaned our emergency room for a few hours. Sometimes, we have a talk with patients, even their family members to make them feel better, and we tell patients how to work with doctors.
当然了,我们今天做了几台手术,我花费了几个小时打扫急诊室。有时候,我们会和患者、甚至他们的家人聊聊天,让他们感觉好些,我们也会告诉病人如何配合医生。
I don’t know that. I’m proud of you, mom. You help saving lives. How great!
我都不知道。妈妈,我为你骄傲。你帮助拯救生命。太伟大了!
Thank you, Alex. That’s so sweet.
亚历克斯,谢谢你。你太贴心了。
