They can hold court on any subject. One day, he called her.

Suffering from an unsightly scaly rash, my friend Denise made an appointment with a dermatologist who happened to be very attractive.
我的朋友丹尼斯得了鱗屑疹，樣子很難看，他預約了一位碰巧很有魅力的皮膚科醫生。
After a full examination, the doctor cocked his head and asked, "Denise, did you get your hair done?"
在進行全面檢查之后，醫生仰著頭問道：“丹尼斯，你做頭發了嗎？”
"Why, yes. Thank you for noticing," said Denise, flattered.

"I thought so," the doctor replied. "Be-cause your scalp looks red and irritated."
“我想也是，”醫生回答說，“因為你的頭皮發紅、看起來像受了刺激。”
