地道美语听力练习:应对传染性疾病

Isabelle:You can't walk through that door with all of your clothes on!

Linus:What?! I've just come off of a 12-hour flight.

I'm tired and I want to get into my own house and into my own bed.

Isabelle:I know, but you've just returned from McQuillanland and I've just read that anyone who has been there may be a carrier of a communicable disease called Niebola.

It can be transmitted through casual contact, so even if you don't have it, you could spread it.

Linus:So what am I supposed to do?

Stand out here for the rest of my life?

Isabelle:Of course not. Take off your clothes.

Linus:You want me to take off my clothes in front of the house? Are you crazy?!

Isabelle:No, the best way to prevent the spread of this infectious disease is to burn clothing that has been in contact with it, and to bathe you thoroughly.

Linus:I'm not stripping down to my underwear out here.

Isabelle:But aren't you worried about transmitting Niebola to me and everyone you know?

No one is immune. You could start an epidemic!

Linus:All right, but I'm going around to the back door where no one can see me, okay?

Isabelle:Great! I'll get your bath ready. I just have to heat the mayonnaise.

Linus:What?! You want me to take a bath in mayonnaise?

Isabelle:That's the only way to kill Niebola.
