Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Inside the tent, a man was handing a glass of water to a red-faced woman. A boy was standing next to the woman's chair. "Do you feel better, Mom?" the boy asked. "Much better, Ronnie," his mother said. "Thank you, Dr…." "Fleming," the man said, looking down at the tag pinned over the pocket on his white jacket.

帐篷里，一个男人正把一杯水递给一个红着脸的女人。 一个男孩站在那个女人的椅子旁边。 “妈妈，你感觉好点了吗?”男孩问。 “好多了，罗尼，”他妈妈说。 “谢谢你，....博士。”“弗莱明，”那人低头看着别在他白色夹克口袋上的标签说。

She stood up. "Come on, Ronnie, let's get some lemonade," she said to her son. "Thanks again, Dr. Fleming." "No problem," the doctor said. He glanced up at Mr. Hathaway and the three kids. "Who's the patient?" he asked. "Me," Dink said. The doctor pointed to two folding chairs. "Have a seat, please." There were no other chairs in the tent. "We'll wait outside," Mr. Hathaway said. He guided Josh and Ruth Rose to the tent opening. "Be a brave little man, Dink," Josh teased. Dink stuck his tongue out at Josh, then sat down. "Your name is Dink?" the doctor asked. He pulled two thin rubber gloves from a box and slipped them onto his hands. Dink nodded. "It's a nickname," he said. "My real name is Donald David Duncan." The doctor sat in the chair opposite Dink. He touched the small bump on Dink's forehead. "How'd this happen?" he asked. Dink told the doctor how he fell off the carousel and showed him the red scrape on his arm.

她站了起来。“来吧，罗尼，我们去喝点柠檬水，”她对儿子说。 “再次感谢你，弗莱明博士。” “没问题，”医生说。 他抬头看了哈撒韦先生和三个孩子一眼。 “病人是谁?”他问。 “我，”丁克说。医生指着两把折叠椅。 “请坐。”帐篷里没有别的椅子了。 “我们在外面等着，”海瑟薇说。 他领着乔希和露丝·罗斯来到帐篷的洞口。 “做个勇敢的小男子汉，丁克，”乔希揶揄道。 丁克朝乔希吐了吐舌头，然后坐了下来。 “你叫丁克?”医生问。 他从一个盒子里拿出两只薄薄的橡胶手套，戴在手上。 丁克点点头。“这是一个昵称，”他说。 “我的真名是唐纳德·大卫·邓肯。” 医生坐在丁克对面的椅子上。 他摸了摸丁克额头上的小肿块。 “怎么会这样?”他问。 丁克告诉医生他是如何从旋转木马上摔下来的，并给他看了手臂上的红色擦伤。

"Does it hurt?" the doctor asked. Dink nodded. "A little, especially when I twist it." "Don't twist it," the doctor said. Just then a police officer stuck his head inside the tent. "Excuse me, Doc," the officer said. "Did you see anyone run by your tent a few minutes ago?" "Nope, I was pretty busy," Dr. Fleming said. "What's the problem?"

“疼吗?”医生问。 丁克点点头。“有一点，尤其是我拧的时候。” “不要扭曲它，”医生说。 就在这时，一个警察把头伸进帐篷里。 “打扰一下，医生，”警官说。 “几分钟前你看到有人从你的帐篷旁跑过吗?”“没有，我很忙。” 弗莱明说。“有什么问题吗?”

"Someone grabbed Penelope Gwinn's diamond pendant," the officer said. "The perp took off in the crowd." "Oh no! I hope you catch him," the doctor said. "Don't worry, we will!" the cop said. "Miss Gwinn might be able to identify the thief, so we're stopping everyone at the main exit gate." After the police officer left, the doctor turned back to Dink. "Here's what we're gonna do," he said. "I'll bandage your arm, then we'll go to my office and I'll x-ray it." The doctor pulled a sealed bandage from a white cabinet. "While I'm wrapping your arm, I want you to read that sign over there. Slowly" Dink looked at the sign. "Why? My eyes are okay" he said. The doctor opened the package. "I want to make sure you don't have a concussion. Start reading," he said as he began wrapping Dink's arm with the long bandage. Dink started reading: HOW TO AVOID SUNSTROKE

“有人抢走了佩内洛普·格温的钻石吊坠，”警官说。 “罪犯在人群中逃走了。” “哦,不!我希望你能抓住他，”医生说。 “别担心，我们会的!”警察说。 “格温小姐也许能认出小偷，所以我们把所有人都拦在主要出口门口。” 警察走后，医生又转向丁克。 “这就是我们要做的，”他说。 “我会给你的手臂包扎，然后我们去我的办公室，我给你照x光。” 医生从一个白色的柜子里拿出一块密封的绷带。 “当我搂着你的胳膊时，我想让你看看那边的牌子。 丁克看着牌子。 “为什么?我的眼睛还好。” 医生打开了包裹。 “我想确保你没有脑震荡。 开始读吧，”他一边说一边用长绷带包扎丁克的手臂。 丁克开始读《如何避免中暑》

1. ALWAYS USE SUNBLOCK 2. WEAR A HAT 3. DON'T STAY OUT IN THE SUN TOO LONG 4. AVOID STRENUOUS EXERCISE ON HOT DAYS 5. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER "You're a good reader, Dink," the doctor said, finished with the wrapping. "Wiggle your fingers for me." Dink wiggled his fingers and looked at his arm. The bandage went from his wrist to his elbow. A small metal clip held the end of the bandage in place. "Not too tight, is it?" the doctor asked. "No, but the bandage feels weird."

1. 一定要使用防晒霜。戴上帽子。 不要在太阳底下呆太久。 在热天避免剧烈运动。 “你是一个很好的读者，丁克，”医生说，把包装纸盖好。 “为我扭动你的手指。” 丁克扭动着手指，看着自己的手臂。 绷带从他的手腕一直缠到肘部。 一个小金属夹子固定住绷带的末端。 “不会太紧吧?”医生问。 “没有，但是绷带摸起来怪怪的。”

"They always do," the doctor said. "Now we'll call in your father." "He's my friend's father," Dink explained. The doctor stepped over to the tent door and invited the others inside. "How's your boo-boo?" Josh asked. Dink crossed his eyes. "I'd like to x-ray Dink's arm in my office," the doctor told Mr. Hathaway "Can you follow me to the hospital?" "Of course," Mr. Hathaway said. "You want to leave right now?" "The sooner the better," the doctor told him, glancing at his watch. "My replacement will be here in a few minutes." The group left the tent and walked toward the main exit. Dink noticed an empty space between Presto Pizza and the lemonade stand. Frank and his hotdog cart had vanished. At the exit, a line of people stood around mumbling. Two police officers were blocking the closed gate. The woman with yellow hair who had been sitting in front of Dink was talking to one of the

“他们总是这样，”医生说。 “现在我们要把你父亲叫来。” “他是我朋友的父亲，”丁克解释道。 医生走到帐篷门口，邀请其他人进去。 “你的咪咪怎么样了?”杰克问。 丁克交叉着眼睛。“我想在我的办公室给丁克的胳膊照x光，”医生对哈撒韦先生说，“你能跟我去医院吗?”“当然，”海瑟薇说。 “你想现在就走吗?”“越快越好，”医生看了看手表，对他说。 “我的接替者几分钟后就到。” 这群人离开帐篷，朝主要出口走去。 丁克注意到披萨和柠檬水摊之间有一块空地。 弗兰克和他的热狗车不见了。 在出口，一排人站在那里喃喃自语。 两名警察堵住了紧闭的大门。 坐在丁克前面的那个黄头发的女人正在和其中一个
