Chapter 4

Chapter 4 "I'm parked in that lot," Mr. Hathaway said as they crossed the street. "A blue station wagon." "Me too," Dr. Fleming said. "Mine's a red Jeep. The hospital is about a mile down Main Street." The kids and Mr. Hathaway followed the red Jeep away from the park and south on Main Street. "How's that arm?" Mr. Hathaway asked.

“我把车停在那个停车场里，”他们过马路时，海瑟薇先生说。 “一辆蓝色的旅行车。”“我也是。” 弗莱明说。“我的是一辆红色吉普车。 医院离主街大约一英里。” 孩子们和海瑟薇先生跟着那辆红色吉普车离开了公园，向南进入了主街。 “你的胳膊怎么样了?”哈撒韦问道。

"It's okay thanks," Dink said. Josh let out a big sigh. "Some people will do anything for attention," he said. A few minutes later, Dr. Fleming pulled into a small parking lot in front of Hartford Hospital. He parked near a sign that said, HOSPITAL STAFF ONLY. Mr. Hathaway parked in a visitors' space, and they all climbed out. Dr. Fleming led the group through a side door and down a long corridor. They took an elevator to the third floor, then went down another hallway. Dr. Fleming pushed open a door with X-RAY printed in green letters. Everyone walked in, and Dr. Fleming pointed to some chairs. "You folks can wait here while I get a couple of X-rays," he said. "This should only take ten minutes or so." Dr. Fleming led Dink through a door into a smaller room. Pointing to a table covered with a white sheet, he told Dink to lie down. Then he put a lead apron over Dink's chest. Dink laid his head on a small pillow and stared up at the ceiling. He could hear Dr. Fleming

“不用了，谢谢，”丁克说。 乔希深深地叹了口气。他说:“有些人为了引起注意会不择手段。” 几分钟后，弗莱明医生把车开进了哈特福德医院前的一个小停车场。 他把车停在一个牌子旁边，牌子上写着“仅限医院工作人员”。 海瑟薇把车停在了一个访客车位上，他们都爬了出来。 弗莱明博士带领大家穿过侧门，穿过一条长长的走廊。 他们乘电梯到三楼，然后走下另一条走廊。 弗莱明博士推开一扇门，门上印着绿色字母的x光片。 每个人都走了进来。 弗莱明指着几把椅子。 “你们可以在这里等着，我去拍几张x光片，”他说。 “这应该只需要十分钟左右。” 弗莱明医生领着丁克穿过一扇门，走进一个小房间。 他指着一张铺着白床单的桌子，让丁克躺下。 然后他在丁克的胸前围上一条铅围裙。 丁克把他的头放在一个小枕头上，盯着天花板。 他能听到弗莱明医生的声音

opening and closing drawers and cupboards. Then Dink saw an X-ray machine slide over the table. Dr. Fleming's face appeared next to the machine. "Now, I want you to lie very still," he said. He placed Dink's arm across his chest. "When I say 'one,' hold your breath. Let it out when I say 'two.'" Dr. Fleming's face disappeared. From a few feet away, he said, "One!" Dink held his breath. He heard something click. Then Dr. Fleming's voice said, "Two! You can

打开和关闭抽屉和橱柜。 接着，丁克看到一台x光机滑过桌子。 弗莱明医生的脸出现在机器旁边。 “现在，我要你静静地躺着，”他说。 他把丁克的胳膊放在胸前。 “当我说‘一’的时候，屏住呼吸。 当我说“二”的时候就说出来。”博士。 弗莱明的脸消失了。 他在几英尺远的地方说:“一!”丁克屏住了呼吸。 他听到什么东西咔哒一声。然后博士。 弗莱明的声音说:“两个!你可以

breathe now." Dr. Fleming stepped next to the table again. "I'm going to get a look at this in the other room," he said. "Be back in a jiffy." Dink counted ceiling tiles until Dr. Fleming returned. "This shot is too blurred," he said, dropping an X-ray on a table. He grabbed a fat red marker and drew a big X over the X-ray. "I'll have to shoot another one, without the bandage." Dr. Fleming began removing the bandage from Dink's arm. "See that sign over there?" he asked Dink. "Read it to me, please." Dink read the sign. It was about drinking milk to make your bones strong. "There," Dr. Fleming said as he dropped the unrolled bandage on the table next to Dink's shoulder. He positioned Dink's arm again. "Lie still and hold your breath till I tell you to breathe." Dink did as he was told, and after a minute, Dr. Fleming came back and asked him to sit up. "After I develop this one, you're free to go," he said. "Okay, this one is much clearer," Dr. Fleming said a few minutes later. "The arm looks fine, but

呼吸了。”弗莱明医生又走到桌子旁边。 “我要去另一个房间看看这个，”他说。 “我马上就回来。”丁克数了数天花板的瓷砖。 弗莱明返回。“这张照片太模糊了，”他说着把一张x光片扔在桌子上。 他拿起一个大大的红色记号笔，在X光片上画了一个大大的X。 “我得再打一个，不用绷带。” 弗莱明医生开始取下丁克手臂上的绷带。 “看到那边的牌子了吗?”他问丁克。 “请念给我听。”丁克看了看牌子。 这是关于喝牛奶使你的骨骼强壮。 “好了，”弗莱明医生一边说，一边把打开的绷带放在丁克肩膀旁边的桌子上。 他把丁克的胳膊放好。 “静静地躺着，屏住呼吸，直到我叫你呼吸。” 丁克照他说的做了。 弗莱明回来让他坐起来。 他说:“等我把这个开发出来，你就可以走了。” “好吧，这个清晰多了。” 几分钟后弗莱明说。 “手臂看起来很好，但是

I'll put the bandage back on. No baseball for a few days, okay?" Dink watched as Dr. Fleming rewrapped his arm. "You should have your own doctor take a look at this," he said. Then Dr. Fleming opened the door and asked the others to come in. He showed Mr. Hathaway the X-ray. "No fracture at all," he said. "Probably just strained it when he fell." "I have to go see my doctor," Dink told Josh and Ruth Rose. "We should take the X-ray with us," Mr. Hathaway said. "Of course," Dr. Fleming said. He found a large envelope in a drawer and slipped the X-ray inside. "Can I have the other one?" Dink asked. "The one that you said was no good?" "No, I'll just throw … sure, why not?" Dr. Fleming said. He slid it into the envelope with the other X-ray and handed it to Dink. "Don't stand up on any more moving carousels," he said.

我再把绷带缠上。 这几天不要打棒球，好吗?”丁克在一旁看着。 弗莱明重新包扎他的手臂。 “你应该让你自己的医生看看这个，”他说。 然后，弗莱明医生打开门，请其他人进来。 他给哈撒韦先生看x光片。 “根本没有骨折，”他说。 “可能是他摔倒的时候扭伤了。” “我得去看医生，”丁克告诉乔希和露丝·罗斯。 “我们应该带上x光片，”海瑟薇说。 “当然，”弗莱明博士说。 他在抽屉里找到一个大信封，把x光片塞了进去。 “我能要另一个吗?”丁克问道。 “你说的那个不好?”“不，我就扔……当然，为什么不呢?”博士。 弗莱明说。他把它和另一张x光片一起塞进信封，递给丁克。 “不要再站在移动的旋转木马上了，”他说。
