The Horse Vet

马兽医

Jessica hurried into the barn for her riding lesson and ran straight to her favorite horse’s stall. But Buster’s stall was empty. “ Buster’s not feeling well, ” said Mr. Petersen, the riding instructor. “ I’ll get Ginger ready for your lesson. ” Jessica was worried. “ What’s wrong with Buster?”

杰西卡匆忙走进马厩去上骑马课，然后径直跑向她最喜欢的马栏。但是巴斯特的摊位是空的。 “巴斯特不舒服，”骑术教练彼得森先生说。“我去叫金格准备给你上课。” 杰西卡很担心。“巴斯特怎么了?”

“ That’s what I’m here to find out, ” Dr. Roy said as he walked into the barn. “ Come with me. ” Jessica followed the vet to where Buster was. “ Mr. Petersen said Buster hasn’t been very active for a few days now, ” Dr. Roy said. Buster stood still, his head down, as Dr. Roy ran his hands over him. “ Hmm. No sore spots. ”

“这就是我来这里的目的，”罗伊博士走进谷仓时说。“跟我来。” 杰西卡跟着兽医到了巴斯特所在的地方。 “彼得森先生说巴斯特已经好几天不太活跃了，”罗伊医生说。 巴斯特站着不动，低着头，罗伊医生用手抚摸着他。“嗯。没有痛处。”

Jessica watched the vet examine the horse. “ Mr. Petersen mentioned Buster hasn’t had much appetite, ” he said . “ Horses can easily get upset stomachs . Their stomachs are small compared to their bodies . ” Dr. Roy listened to Buster’s stomach with a stethoscope. “ The good news is that Buster’s stomach sounds normal. ”

杰西卡看着兽医检查马。“彼得森先生说,巴斯特没有太多的食欲,”他说。 “马很容易肠胃不适。它们的胃和身体相比很小。” 罗伊医生用听诊器听巴斯特的胃。"好消息是巴斯特的胃听起来正常"

Next Dr. Roy checked Buster’s eyes. “ How did you become a veterinarian?” Jessica asked. “ I studied science for four years in college, ” said Dr. Roy. “ After I graduated, I went to veterinary school. ” “ How long did that take?” Jessica asked.

接着罗伊医生检查了巴斯特的眼睛。“你是怎么成为兽医的?”杰西卡问道。 “我在大学里学了四年科学，”罗伊博士说。“毕业后，我去了兽医学校。” “那花了多长时间?”杰西卡问道。

“ Four years . Then I had to pass a test to get my veterinarian’s license . ” Dr. Roy looked at Buster’s hooves. “ A horse vet has to know stuff that other veterinarians don’t, ” he added. “ For example, the horse’s hoof is like a big toenail. The hoof is hard on the outside, but the inside is easily hurt. ” “ Did you go to a different school to learn about horses?”

“四年。然后我必须通过一项考试才能拿到兽医执照。”罗伊医生看着巴斯特的蹄子。 “马兽医必须知道其他兽医不知道的东西，”他补充说。 “例如，马蹄就像一个大脚趾甲。蹄子外面很硬，但里面很容易受伤。” “你是去另一所学校学习关于马的知识的吗?”
