Chapter 1 Get well!
It began with a visit to the doctor. ‘You need a holiday,’ the doctor told me. ‘You need a rest.’
‘I can’t take a holiday,’ I answered. ‘I’m too busy.’
‘No, Liz,’ said the doctor. ‘You don’t understand.
If you don’t take a holiday, you’re going to get very, very ill.’
‘I’m just tired,’ I said. ‘I feel tired.’
‘No,’ he said. ‘It’s more than that. Are you doing too much? You teach, don’t you?’
‘Well, yes,’ I said. ‘I’m teaching and studying archaeology at the university.’
‘What else are you doing?’ he asked me.
‘I’m learning to speak Greek,’ I replied. ‘And I’m writing a book.’
‘I see,’ he said. ‘You’re learning to speak Greek, you’re writing a book and you’re working at the university. Don’t you think that’s too much? How many hours do you sleep at night?’
‘Four or five hours most nights,’ I told him.
‘It’s not enough,’ he said. ‘You need to slow down.
Is your husband here in Greece with you?’ the doctor asked.
第 1章 康复!
故事起于一次就诊。“你需要休假,”医生告诉我。“你需要休息一下。”
“我不能休假,”我回答说。“我太忙了。”
“不行,利兹,”医生说。“你不明白。如果不休假,你会病得非常非常厉害。”
“我只是累了,”我说。“我感觉疲惫。”
“不,”他说,“不只是那样。你是不是工作得太多了?你是老师,对吗?”
“哦,是的,”我说。“我在大学做考古学的教学和研究。”
“还在做什么?”他问我。
“我在学说希腊语,”我回答道。“我还在写一本书。”
“我明白了,”他说。“你在学说希腊语,在写书,还在大学工作。难道你不觉得那太多了吗?你晚上睡几个小时?”
“大多数晚上睡四五个小时,”我告诉他。
“那不够,”他说。“你需要慢下来。你丈夫和你一起在希腊这儿吗?”医生问。
