202. A Sick Child
202. 生病的孩子
"Speed up, honey! We can't spare the time! The school nurse said Joey was really sick! He couldn't even speak for himself!" Molly said.
“加快速度，親愛的！我們抽不出時間了！學校護士說喬伊真的病了！他甚至都不能自己說話了！”莫莉說。
"I know," Ned replied. "But I don't want to get a speeding ticket. The speed limit here is only 35 miles per hour! Don't worry.
“我知道，”內德回答說?！翱晌也幌氡婚_罰單。這里每小時的速度極限只有35公里！別著急。
We'll get there sooner or later he'll still be alive!" Molly punched him! "Oh， stop joking. Maybe he really is sick!"
我們遲早會趕到那兒的——他會仍然活著的！”莫莉狠狠地打了他一拳！“別開玩笑了。也許他是真的病了！”
"I know, I know. It's just that I'm so used to Joey tricking us that it's hard to speculate on him even catching a real cold for once in his life! It's sort of strange!"
“知道，知道。只不過喬伊跟我們開玩笑開慣了，他要真得一次感冒我還真猜不出來！這還真有點奇怪！”
"Yeah. This has sparked my interest as well. But the school nurse is supposed to specialize in childhood diseases—so she would know!"
“是的，這也引起了我的興趣。可是學校護士應該對兒童疾病有專門研究——所以她一定知道！”
"We'll see!" Ned answered. When they arrived the nurse met them at the door. "Thanks for your assistance.
“到時我們就知道了！”內德回答道。到學校時護士在門口迎接他們?！爸x謝你們的幫助。
He has a minor sore throat, but I think he should get some rest before it turns into bronchitis or something!
他有點咽喉痛，但我認為他應該休息一下，不然會轉成支氣管炎或者什么的！
If he just rests for a while at home it should sort itself out in a couple of days!"
如果他在家休息一段時間，這病幾天就會沒事的！”
"Great!" Ned said. "A couple days home for just a sore throat! All this worry for nothing?"
“很好！”內德說?！耙驗檠屎硗葱枰诩掖魩滋?！我們是虛驚一場?！?/div>
"If I may speak my mind," the nurse said. Molly and Ned consented. "Joey seems to be having a hard time at school.
“是否我可以把想法說出來護士說。莫莉和內德表示了同意?！皢桃梁孟裨趯W校不開心。
Maybe that's why he so often pretends to be sick? Take this time to talk to him, find out what's wrong. That might really help!
也許是因為這個原因他才經常裝病的？這次跟他談談，看看出了什么問題。這可能真的有用！
And let the healing process speak for itself. You'll know the sore throat is gone when Joey's normal voice returns."
讓康復過程自己說明問題。等喬伊能用正常聲音說話，你們就知道咽喉痛好了?！?/div>
Molly and Ned nodded. This time they would talk more to Joey.
莫莉和內德點了點頭。這次他們要跟喬伊多說一點話。
