| The United States is well known for its network of major highways designed to help a driver get from one place to another in the shortest possible time. | 美国以其主要高速公路网络而闻名,该网络旨在帮助驾驶员在最短的时间内从一个地方到达另一个地方。。 |
| Although these wide modern roads are generally smooth and well maintained, with few sharp curves and straight sections, a direct route is not always the most enjoyable one. | 虽然这些宽阔的现代道路一般都很平坦且维护良好,几乎没有急弯,只有直线路段,但直路并不总是最令人愉快的。 |
| Large highways often pass by scenic areas interesting small towns. | 大型高速公路经常经过风景名胜区和有趣的小镇。 |

Dear Dr. Ramsey, I seem to get colds all the time. Is there anything I can do to prevent them? What should I do after I've caught one?
亲爱的拉姆齐医生,我好像总是感冒。有什么办法可以预防吗?感冒后该怎么办?
The common cold is the most frequent of all illnesses. At any given moment, about one out of every eight people has one. Most people get colds by touching things that a person with a cold has used.
普通感冒是所有疾病中最常见的一种。在任何特定时刻,几乎每八个人中就有一人患上普通感冒。大多数人是通过接触感冒患者使用过的物品而感冒的。
You can even catch a cold by shaking hands. So if someone you know has a cold, you should not use the same cups, glasses, dishes, or telephone.
甚至握手也容易感冒。所以,如果你认识的人感冒了,就不要和他共用一个杯子、玻璃杯、盘子或电话。
Although there is no permanent cure for the cold, doctors believe that vitamins can help prevent colds, and some doctors suggest that you take large amounts when you begin to get sick.
虽然感冒没有永久的治愈方法,但医生认为维生素可以帮助预防感冒,有些医生建议您在开始生病时服用大量维生素。
Yet it is not really known whether vitamin C is truly helpful. The body needs healthy food to fight a cold. If you have a cold, you should eat well, but not overeat, and you should drink losts of liquids, especially juices.
然而,维生素C是否真的有益尚不清楚。身体需要健康的食物来抵抗感冒。感冒时,应该吃得健康,但不要暴饮暴食,并且应该喝大量的液体,尤其是果汁。
Also be sure to get enough rest and stay warm. If your body aches, you can take one or two aspirin every four hours.
另外,一定要保证充足的休息和保暖。如果身体疼痛,可以每四小时服用一到两片阿司匹林。
Some research shows, however, that taking aspirin can make your cold last longer. When you have a cold you should also try to protect other people. Cover your month and nose when you have a cough or sneeze.
然而,一些研究表明,服用阿司匹林可能会延长感冒持续时间。感冒时,也应该尽力保护他人。咳嗽或打喷嚏时,请捂住嘴和鼻子。

为了帮助血清素水平接近正常水平,医生现在最常开的药是百忧解。
Prozac has been carefully studied for nearly ten years like other antidepressants, it isn't habit-forming.
与其他抗抑郁药物一样,百忧解也经过了近十年的仔细研究,它不会形成习惯。
But some people do experience mild side effects, like upset stomach, headache, difficulty in sleeping drowsiness, anxiety and nervousness. These tend to go away within a few weeks of starting treatment, and usually aren't serious enough to make most people stop taking it.
但有些人确实会出现轻微的副作用,例如胃部不适、头痛、睡眠困难、嗜睡、焦虑和紧张。这些副作用通常会在开始治疗后的几周内消失,而且通常不会严重到需要大多数人停药。

This is our fifth day at the "Sun, sea and Sand" travel conference in London. Bisiness is great! Our company is doing well here and , in the evenings, I often go out into the city.
Yesterday, I met a women called Anita Handley. She's the manager of a travel company which has an office here. I want to set up an aggreement with Anita's company because we need someone to help us with marketing in Britain.
So this morning, I went to meet Anita and her colleagues in their office. They work in a building in Garden Street.
I decided to walk there but I don't know London very well, and I didn't have a map with me, So I just asked people how to get there.
I went out of the conference building and turned left along Market Street, towards the city centre, A young man told me that I should carry straight on, along Market Street, and then turn right into Princess Street.
So, I went straight on for about five minutes and then turned right, as the man said. When I arrived in Princess Street I asked an old woman for help. She told me to turn left into Garden Street. The office was along Garden Street next to the City Library.
I spent three hours there, discussing business with Anita and her colleagues; I think they'll be excellent partners.
Afterwords, I met Helen Hunter, my colleague, in Oxford Street and we had some tea. In the evening, we went to the Boardwalk Nightclub; great fun, fantastic music, and Helen is a really good dancer!
