地道美语听力练习:阅读潦草字迹

Lily:Can you make out what this says?

Hassan:Geez, who wrote that?

Lily:My doctor.

She wrote down some instructions for me, but I can't read her handwriting.

Hassan:I have no idea what that chicken scratch says.

Lily:I think that's a “T,” but maybe it's an “F.”

Hassan:Face it. Those scribbles are illegible.

Why don't you take a photo of that and email it to her nurse?

Maybe she can decipher it for you.

Lily:I feel like if I just keep at it, I'll be able to work it out.

Hassan:Patients shouldn't have to try and read a doctor's sloppy writing.

What if they misinterpret it and do the wrong thing as part of their treatment?

Lily:This note isn't that bad.

I think I might have the first two words figured out already.

Hassan:Then you're better at reading bad penmanship than I am.

Maybe you should have a try at these English essays.

I have 60 of them to grade.

Lily:Wow, looking at these, I'd say you have 60 future doctors in the making!
