basicHi, I have a terrible headache. What do you recommend?
你好,我头痛得厉害。有什么推荐的吗?
For headaches, I'd recommend ibuprofen or acetaminophen. Ibuprofen also reduces inflammation, while acetaminophen is gentler on the stomach. Do you have any allergies to medications?
头痛的话,推荐布洛芬或对乙酰氨基酚。布洛芬还能消炎,对乙酰氨基酚对胃更温和。你对什么药物过敏吗?
No allergies. I'll go with ibuprofen. I also feel a cold coming on — stuffy nose and sore throat.
没有过敏。我选布洛芬。我还感觉要感冒了——鼻塞和喉咙痛。
For cold symptoms, I'd suggest a multi-symptom cold medicine. This one covers congestion, sore throat, and runny nose. It comes in daytime and nighttime formulas — the nighttime one helps you sleep.
感冒症状的话,建议用多症状感冒药。这款覆盖鼻塞、喉咙痛和流鼻涕。有日间和夜间配方——夜间的帮助睡眠。
I'll take both. Do you also have throat lozenges?
两种我都要。有润喉糖吗?
Yes, these honey-lemon ones are popular and very soothing. They also have a mild numbing effect that really helps with throat pain.
有的,这种蜂蜜柠檬的很受欢迎,很舒缓。它们还有轻微的麻醉效果,对喉咙痛特别有帮助。
Perfect. How much for everything?
好的。一共多少?
The ibuprofen is $8, the cold medicine is $12, and the lozenges are $6. That's $26 total. Make sure you don't take the ibuprofen and cold medicine at the same time — the cold medicine already contains a pain reliever.
布洛芬8美元,感冒药12美元,润喉糖6美元。一共26美元。注意不要同时吃布洛芬和感冒药——感冒药里已经含有止痛成分了。
Good to know. I'll just take the cold medicine then and save the ibuprofen for later.
了解了。那我先吃感冒药,布洛芬留着以后用。
Smart. Take the daytime dose now — two tablets with water. Drink plenty of fluids on your flight. Feel better!
明智。现在吃日间剂量——两片,配水。飞行途中多喝水。祝你早日康复!
Thank you so much. You've been really helpful.
非常感谢。你帮了大忙了。
Prescription Medicine Issue · 处方药问题
intermediateI ran out of my blood pressure medication and I'm here for another week. Can I buy more without a local prescription?
我的降压药吃完了,还要在这里待一周。没有本地处方能买吗?
Unfortunately, prescription medications require a local prescription. I can't sell them over the counter. Do you have the original prescription or the medication bottle with you?
很遗憾,处方药需要本地处方。我不能直接卖。你有原来的处方或药瓶吗?
I have the empty bottle with the label. It shows the medication name and dosage.
我有空的药瓶,上面有标签。写了药名和剂量。
That helps. Here's what I'd recommend: there's a walk-in clinic in Terminal 3, open until 8 PM. A doctor there can write you an emergency prescription. It costs about $80 for the visit.
这有帮助。我建议:3号航站楼有个无需预约的诊所,营业到晚上8点。那里的医生可以给你开紧急处方。看诊费大概80美元。
That's helpful. Is the walk-in clinic far from here?
有帮助。那个诊所离这里远吗?
It's about a 5-minute walk — take the corridor to the left, follow signs for Terminal 3 medical services. Once you have the prescription, you can come back here and I'll fill it right away.
大约走5分钟——走左边走廊,跟着3号航站楼医疗服务的指示牌走。拿到处方后回这里,我马上给你配药。
Can I also have my doctor in China email or fax the prescription?
我中国的医生可以通过邮件或传真发处方过来吗?
We can only accept prescriptions from licensed practitioners in this country. A foreign prescription won't work, unfortunately. But bring the bottle to the clinic — it'll make the process much faster.
我们只能接受本国执业医生的处方。外国处方很遗憾不行。但把药瓶带去诊所——会大大加快流程。
Understood. I'll head there now. Thank you for the guidance.
明白了。我现在就去。谢谢指导。
You're welcome. Also — a travel tip for the future: always carry at least a week's extra supply of essential medications when traveling internationally.
不客气。另外——以后旅行的小建议:出国旅行时务必多带至少一周量的必备药物。
Lesson learned. I'll be more prepared next time.
学到了。下次会准备充分一些。
