赖世雄读英语笑话学英语之傻瓜(1)：我没有把药吃下去(双语)
Unit 1 I Didn’t Take That In 我没有把药吃下去
A fellow who was rather slow on the uptake had been suffering from constipation, so the doctor provided him with some suppositories.
有位理解能力相当迟缓的老兄一直为便秘所苦，因此医生给他一些利肠的栓剂。
A week later, the patient came back to tell the doctor that his condition had not improved.
一星期后病人回来告诉医生，他的状况尚未改进。
“I’m amazed,” said the doctor. “Have you been taking the medicine I prescribed for you?”
“我觉得好奇怪，”医生说。“你有没有采用我开给你的药方呢？”
“What do you think I ‘ve been doing, shoving it up my ass?”
“你以为我做什么呢？难道要我把它们都塞进屁股里吗？”
英语知识点解说：
1.uptake n. 理解
be quick/slow on the uptake 敏于／拙于理解
例：A：You're kind of slow on the uptake, aren't you?
（甲：你似乎脑筋转得慢了一点，是不是呢?）
B: Huh?
（ 乙：什 么？）
2.stuffer vt. 遭受（痛苦、损失等）& vi. 罹患（疾病，与 from 并用）
suffering n. 苦难
suffer a big loss 遭受很大的损失
suffer from... 患有（某疾病）
例：The vicious youth suffered the consequences of his actions.
（那位无恶不作的年轻人尝到了他的恶果。）
Dad has been suffering from hepatitis for 10 years.
（老爸患有肝炎达十年之久。）
3.constipation n. 便秘
4.provide vt. 准备；供给
provide sb with sth 提供某人某物
注意：
supply（提供）、furnish （ 提供 ）和 equip （使配备）均采用上列结构 ，与 with 并用。
例：Could you provide me with some information, please?
（请你提供我一些消息好吗？）
My pharmacist supplies me with all the drugs I need.
（我的药剂师给我所需的药。）
Could you furnish me with a small loan?
（你可以借我一笔小钱吗？）
The hall is equipped with a very good sound system.
（大厅装有很好的音响系统。）
5.suppository n. 坐药；栓
本文指软化排便的药剂，真的是要放入肛门内的，但却全给那位老兄吃光。
6.improve vt. & vi. 改 善；进 步
improvement n. 改良
例：I've noticed a marked improvement in your English since you started reading Ivy League Analytical English magazine.
（自从你开始阅读《常春藤解析英语》杂志后，我已注意到你的英文有显著的进步。）
7.amaze vt. 使惊讶
amazing a. 令人惊奇的
amazed a. 感到惊奇的
be amazed at... 对……感到惊讶
例:What an amazing story! Whare did you hear it?
（这个故事真奇妙！你打哪儿听来的
I'm amazed at your ignorance.
（你的无知真让我感到讶异。）
8.take the medicine 吃／服药
take the pill 吃药丸
eat the soup 喝汤
吃药一词的“吃”或 要用 take ，不 用 eat ；此外喝饮料的动词用 drink ，但喝汤却要用eat the soup ，宜特别加以注意，之所以用 eat，乃是因为汤在西方国家中也是一道菜，而且大都为浓汤（如玉米浓汤、咖 鸡肉面汤…… ），当然如果是在台湾的自助餐厅喝汤的话，那些用白开水加盐及味精的汤，用drink 应是正确无疑的，只是 eat the soup 在英文中已沿用许久，读者只好入境
随俗了。
9.prescribe vt. 开药方
prescription n. 处方
例：Take the prescription to pharmacy and have it filled.
（把这个药方拿去药房配药。）
The doctor prescribed some medicine for my stomachache.
（医生为我的胃痛开了些药。）
10.shove vt. ：推 ；挤
shove sth up... 将某物挤入／塞入……
=shove sth into...
