I have a toothache.

牙痛的時候令人不想開口說話，不想吃東西，很不自在，你可告訴別人：I have a toothache. (我現(xiàn)在牙痛)。牙齒的毛病有很多， 例如：I have a cavity(我有蛀牙) 、 I have sensitive teeth that hurt easily (我的牙齒很敏感，容易受損)、 I need to have a tooth pulled /extracted (我需要拔牙)等。

對 話

Kate: Why re you pulling such strange faces?

Ronald: I'm in a lot of pain. I have a toothache.

Kate: Well stop putting up with the pain and go see a dentist.

Ronald: The pain of getting his bill will be far greater than this. Here, hold this string. (Ronald has string tied to his tooth to do a DIY extraction) I'll show those over-priced quacks.

凱伊：為什么你的樣子那么古怪？

羅訥德：我很痛苦，我的牙很痛。

凱伊：那么別再撐了，去看牙醫(yī)吧。

羅訥德：收到他的賬單比現(xiàn)在更痛苦，來吧，拿著繩子(自行拔牙)，我要叫那些收費高得離譜的庸醫(yī)看看我的手段。

羅訥德牙痛，凱伊勸他說：Stop putting up with the pain and go see a dentist.（別再撐了，去看牙醫(yī)吧）。但羅訥德決定自己脫牙：I'll show those over-priced quacks.（叫那些收費高得離譜的庸醫(yī)看看我的手段）。

I'll show you/him等是成語，直譯是‘我要向你/他證明’，有‘要證明自己并非那么不濟(jì)’含義，例如：Do you think I won't be able to take revenge? I'll show you!（你以為我沒法報復(fù)？你等著瞧吧！）

Put up with是動詞詞組(phrasal verb)，意思是‘忍受’，例如：He had to put up with an overbearing boss（他那個上司很橫蠻，他也只好忍著）。‘忍痛’可以叫做to put up with/endure/bear pain，例如：The pain he was subjected to was more than a man could put up with/endure/bear（加在他身上的痛苦，非人所能承受）。

留意go see a dentist這說法。Go、come二字之后，可用‘to+原形動詞(infinitive)’，例如：(1) I went to see a dentist（我去看牙醫(yī)）。(2) Tom came to talk to me about the matter（湯姆來找我談這件事）。隨便一點的說法，則是用‘a(chǎn)nd+動詞’取代‘to+原形動詞’，例如：(1) I went and saw a dentist。(2) Tom came and talked to me about the matter。美式英文有時更會把a(bǔ)nd或to略去，以go或come和另一動詞連用，例如：(1) I will go see a dentist。(2) Come talk to me about the matter。但這個說法的go、come必須用原形(infinitive)，不可說I went see the dentist等等.
