While on vacation in San Francisco, my sister developed a toothache. The hotel desk clerk recommended a dentist. Susan, who dislikes heights, was horrified to discover that she was located on the 14th floor of a skyscraper, with two of the office walls made entirely of glass.
在舊金山度假時，我姐姐牙病犯了。這個酒店前臺推薦了一個牙醫。蘇珊有恐高癥，發現自己在兩邊都是玻璃墻14層大樓時，嚇壞了。

Susan was sitting rigidly in the examination chair, clutching its sides, when the dentist came in. “Are you always this nervous?” he asked.
蘇珊很和僵硬的坐在檢查座位上，緊緊握住椅子的兩旁，當醫生進來時，看到這種情況就問，你一直這么緊張嗎？

It’s just that I ‘m not used to being up this high,” Susan replied, eyes closed.
蘇珊閉著眼睛回答：只是我不習慣待在這么高的地方

“Oh, I’m sorry,” he said. Then he lowered her chair six inches.
“不好意思啊，”他說。然后就把椅子調低了6英尺。
