医生懂得多
The Doctor Knows Better
A man was hit by a cab in the street. He was brought to the hospital.
His wife who was standing up by his bed, said to the doctor:“I think that he is very ill.”
“I am afraid that he is dead.”said the doctor.
Hearing this, the man moved his head and said: “I’m not dead. I’m still alive.”
“Be quiet,” said the wife. “the doctor knows better than you!”

医生说：“恐怕他已经死了。”
听到医生的话，这个男人转动着头说：“我没死，我还活着。”
