Daniel: Excuse me, doc. I am not feeling well. Can you help me?

Doctor 1: Yes, but not here. Have you got registered yet?

Daniel: No, I haven't. Where do I go for that?

Doctor 1: The registration office. Did you bring your records with you?

Daniel: Yes.

Doctor 1: Is anybody here with you? Parents or siblings?

Daniel: No, I'm here all by myself.

Doctor 1: You are a brave kid. Go ahead to the registration office first, then to the doctors.

Daniel: But I don't know where the registration office is.

Doctor 1: It's in the hall on the first floor.

Daniel: Do I have to come back here after getting registered?

Doctor 1: No, kid. This is the gynecology department.

Daniel: Gynecology?

Doctor 1: Yeah, It's only for girls.

丹尼尔：对不起，医生。我有点不舒服。您能帮我吗？

医生1：可以啊，但不是在这儿。你挂号了吗？

丹尼尔：没，还没。我在哪儿挂号？

医生1：在挂号处。你带了你的病历吗？

丹尼尔：带了。

医生1：有谁陪你一起来吗？爸妈，还是兄弟姐妹？

丹尼尔：没有，我一个人来的。

医生1：你是个勇敢的孩子。先到挂号处，再到医生那儿。

丹尼尔：但我不知道挂号处在哪儿啊。

医生1：在一楼大厅。

丹尼尔：我挂完了号来您这儿吗？

医生1：不，孩子。这儿是妇科。

丹尼尔：妇科？

医生1：是啊，女孩子来的地方。

Daniel: When I'm sick I go to see the doctor all by myself because my parents are busy. And also I think that's the thing that a big boy like me should do. The problem is sometimes I can't find the registration office. Luckily, there is always someone to tell me where to go.
