生病了就要吃藥有木有？吃藥前要看說明書有木有？有的人記不住有木有？我們的Don就因為自己的不仔細栽了個大跟頭了！
今天我們一起來談談關于吃藥的不能不說的秘密……
Black Tongues and Stomach Aches
黑舌頭與胃痛
Don:Oh, no, Yaël, I think I'm having a medical emergency. Quick! Call an ambulance.
Don:我的天吶，Y，我想我是染上什么急病啦！趕快！叫救護車！
Yaël:A medical emergency, Don? Are you sure? You look fine to me!
Yaël:急病？你確定？你看起來氣色不錯啊！
D:But I'm not. This morning, I had a terrible stomach ache. And now, now look at my tongue. Oh, it's all black. Surely, I'm dying, and you don't even care!
D:我不覺得我很好啊。今天早上我胃疼得特別厲害。可現在……現在，你看我的舌頭。整個舌頭都是黑的！好吧，我都要死了，你一點也不關心我！
Y:Relax, Don! Of course I care. But you really dying?
Y:Don，別太緊張好不好！我絕對是關心你的，但你確定你就要“去”了？
D:But my tongue...
D:可我的舌頭……
Y:I can tell you exactly what the problem is!
Y:我可以告訴你你的舌頭究竟是怎么回事！
D:You can? But you are not a doctor!
D:你？可你并不是醫生啊！
Y:But I do read the contrary indications before taking medicine.
Y:但是我每次吃藥之前都會看說明書，看服藥后會有什么副作用。
D:Un-huh!
D:嗯哼！
Y:You said you had a stomachache, right? And I'll bet you 5 dollars that you have took some Pepto Bismol for it?
Y:你說你胃痛，對吧？我和你賭5美元，你是不是服用了堿式水楊酸鉍口服混懸液？
D:Wow! You must be psychic. How do you know?
D:神啦！你怎么知道的呢？
Y:Well, the active ingredient in Pepto Bismol is a compound called bismuth subsalicylate.
Y:堿式水楊酸鉍中的有效成分為一種叫做堿式水楊酸鹽的化合物。
D:Bismuth subsalicylate, so?
D:堿式水楊酸鹽，所以說？
Y:This compound has anti-diarrheal, anti-bacterial, and antacid effect on the digestive tract.
Y:這種化合物作用于消化道，具有抗腹瀉、抗菌以及解酸的作用。
D:Which is why Pepto helps with stomach discomfort.
D:這就是為什么堿式水楊酸鉍能緩解胃部不適。
Y:Right, but the thing is, when the bismuth combines with the trace amounts of sulfur in your saliva and in your gastrointestinal tract, it reacts to form a black substance called bismuth sulfide.
Y:嗯。但是，鉍與唾液和胃腸道中微量的硫作用會生成一種黑色的物質——硫化鉍。
D:Bismuth sulfide, sounds dangerous!
D:硫化鉍，聽起來都覺得很危險！
Y:It isn't. But that's where the discoloration on your tongue comes from. And bismuth sulfide can also temporarily darken the stool. It's a common enough side-effect that it's listed in the package information, which you really should get in the habit of reading.
Y:這倒不是。但硫化鉍就是將你的舌頭變黑的罪魁禍首。而且，硫化鉍還會使排泄物變黑。這是很常見的一種副作用，藥品的包裝盒上就列出來了的。所以啊，在吃藥前一定要養成看說明的好習慣。放心了吧，要不了幾天就恢復正常了。
In a couple of days everything will back to normal.
D:Yaël, you saved my life.
D:Yaël，你救了我一命啊。
Y:Not really...
Y:怎么會……
