82.填空补缺
On his way home from the film lab, Chuck started to feel bad; he had to fight off throwing up in the car!
从照相馆回家的时候,查克开始难受起来,他得竭力摆脱在车上想吐的感觉!
When he called the doctor later, they figured out that he had eaten something bad.
等到他后来把医生叫来,他们发现他是吃坏了东西。
The doctor said he would fill out a prescription for Chuck.

They even delivered it to his home. Chuck crashed in bed.

Before he nodded off, however, he realized that he should call his assistant Jane, and fill her in on the situation.
但是在睡觉之前,他意识到他得把助手简叫来把详细情况告诉给她。
Chuck would surely not be able to go on the field trip tomorrow.

Jane wasn't too happy about it.
简有些不乐意。
She said that no one could fill Chuck's shoes.
她说谁也接替不了査克的位置。
She would rather just fill in the students on his sickness and cancel the trip.

Chuck said no. Jane could fill his place.
查克不同意,说简可以接替他的工作。
She just had to be confident, take the students around the park and talk about what she knew.

"And don't forget to fill up the bus with gas." Chuck said with a weak laugh.

But Chuck was right. She could fill his position.

Guiding a field trip was one thing, teaching a whole class was another.

Chuck was better the day after the field trip and proud of Jane that she had done such a great job!
校外考察旅行结束之后查克好多了,他为简的出色表现感到骄傲!
