2-06 Ross怕打针

故事梗概

Ross吃过Monica做的狝猴桃酸橙派(kiwi lime pie)后出现过敏反应， 因为Ross对狝猴挑过敏(allergic to kiwi)，原来他对龙虾(lobster)和花生(peanuts)还过敏，真是不好伺候啊。这一过敏不要紧，他一下子变成了大舌头(a lig tongue)，用自己的话来说，Either the is tongue swelling up or his mouth is getting smallen．还开玩笑，看来舌头是太大了，嘴都放不下了。

莫妮卡决定带Ross上医院打针，这吓坏了Ross象个孩子似的先是找借口不去医院，去了后想办法不打针，
打针时紧紧攥住Monica不放手，害得Monica骨头受伤(bone bruise)
……

[Scene: The Hospital, Ross and Monica are waiting for the doctor.]

Ross: Well, there's no way I'm gonna get a shot. Maybe they can take the needle and thquirt it into my mouth, you know, like a thquirt gun.

Doctor: (entering) Hello, there. I'm Dr. Carlin. I see someone's having an allergic reaction.

Monica: Doctor, can I see you for just a minute please? My brother has a slight phobia about needles.

Ross: (to Monica) Did you tell him about my thquirt gun idea?

Monica: My brother, the PhD would like to know if there's any way to treat this orally.

Doctor: No, under these circumstances it has to be an injection, and it has to be now.

讲解

Ross大舌头后，一下子说话不清楚(garbled)了，他无法向医生解释自己的建议，只得通过Monica来“翻译”。还是Monica有经验，比如她可以听出来，Ross一个劲儿讲的thquirt(fei枪)其实是squirt(水枪)，这个词即可用作动词，也可用作名词，表示“喷射”或“喷水器”。Ross一下子变得跟孩子一模一样，不仅胆子小，还用儿童的语言，例如“squirt gun”(水枪)
等。

打针对应的英文表达主要有两个：一个就是shot，另一个是injection；shot这个词在表示“打针”时，经常以get a shot这个短语出现。举例说明： 一I think you need a shot to deaden the pain first．(你需要先打一针止住痛。)

一I really don't want a shot：(我是真不想打针啊。)再如：
一Would you like the shot in your arm or your behind?(请问你是要打在手臂上还是屁股上呢?)
一In my behind!There's more padding there．(在屁股上吧!那里肉比较多。)
而打针的种类又有很多，常见的有anti-inflammatory shot(消炎针)，
vaccination(疫苗)，IV(intravenous injection)(静脉注射)，tetanus shot(破伤风针)等。

除了用shot这个词之外，还可以用injection表示打针。如：
—You need an injection．(你需要打针。)
—I hate injections．Can I take thc medicine orally?(我不喜欢打针，能吃些口服药吗?)
—I am afraid not．You were supposed to be operated on．I'll give you an
iniection first．(不行，你本来还需要手术的呢。我先给你打一针。)

关于shot这个词，还需多说几句。除打针外，与shot构成短语的有：have／takc／give a shot(试一下)，如give your beat shot表示“尽你们最大努力试吧。”Let me have a shot at it．(让我试试看。)；make a shot(猜一下)；a shotin the dark(不知道事实时或对真相没有把握时的猜测)，如：

一How did you know I was from America?(你怎么知道我是美国来的呢?)

—Just a shot in the dark．(瞎猜的。)再如：

一That was a tough question．How did you get it right?(那个问题很难的，你怎么弄对的呢?)

—I just took a shot in the dark．(瞎蒙的。)

下一次，如果你问别人问题，他说不知道时，你就鼓励他／她，说：Take a

shot in thc dark．”(猜一猜呗!)例如：

—How old do you think I am?(你猜我几岁?)

—I have no idca．(不知道。)

—Really，come on．Take a shot in the dark．(真的，来嘛!猜一猜呗!) 打针可以用shot，猜测可以用shot；开枪射击也可以用shot，投篮、射门也可以用shot；例如：There was a shot，and the bird fell dcad．(一声枪响，鸟客下死了。)；His shot went wide．(他没射进球门。)

此外，电影的连续镜头也可以用shot，例如：The exterior shots were taken in Bermuda．(外景是在百慕大群岛拍摄的。)

付账也可以用shot，如pay one's shot；shot还可以表示机会，如：she has a shot at becoming a movie star．(她有机会成为电影明星。)等等。

最后，再介绍一个与shot有关的短语，call the shots表示“下命令、做最后决定”，一般用在工作场合。

The three partners who own our company are supposed to have equal say in I unning it．One o f them，though，old Mister John，is thc one who calls the shots and tells us what to do．(我们公司三个老板在经营方面应该是有同样发言权的。但是最后作决定的总是老约翰先生，每次都是由他来告诉我们干什么。)

再如：Your second ponit I do disagree with though，You seem to be saying Ihat the US should be allowed to call the shots in the UN and get any decision passed that they want．(不过，我不同意你的第二点提法。你似乎在说，应该允许美国在联合国内绝对说了算，从而可以通过美国想要通过的任何决定。)
