At about two o'clock on a cold winter morning, a doctor drove seven miles in answer to a telephone call. On his coming the man who had called him in said:
　　“Doctor, I don't have a sore throat, I don't cough, I have no pain either in the side or in the back, I'm not running a temperature, but still I feel that death is near.”
　　The doctor felt the man's pulse, listened to his heart and lungs and examined his throat.
　　“Have you made your will?”he asked at last.
　　“Why, no doctor. Oh, doctor, it isn't true, is it? I can't believe it.”
　　“Do you have children? Send for them at once. Your father, too, should be called; also your----”
　　“I say, doctor, do you really think I'm going to die?”
　　The doctor looked at him hard.
　　“No, I don't,”he replied.“There's nothing the matter with you. But I hate to be the only man you've made a fool of on a night like this.”

“你有孩子吗?派人立即（at once是立即）去把他们叫来,你的父亲也应该被叫,还有你的……”
“我说,医生,你真的认为我就要死了吗?”
医生很艰难的看了看了他.
“不,我并不认为你真的就快要死了.”医生回答道,“你根本就没有任何问题.但是我讨厌成为在这样一个晚上被你愚弄的唯一的人.”
