Their piercing whiteness is of brief duration. Soon the marshmallow rims flatten to anvil tops, and the clouds reveal their darker nature. They impose themselves before the late-afternoon sun, and the day darkens early.

它們中醒目的白云只是一個短暫的過渡。沒過多久，白云的邊緣染成了黑色，云朵開始露出它們陰暗的真面目。它們逼近午后的太陽，天暗得早了。

大夫：你哪里不舒服？

What’s the matter with you?

病人：唉，我剛才過馬路，正趕上一輛車從拐角處開過來。由于車速過快，等司機(jī)看到我再剎車時，已經(jīng)太晚了。我被撞倒在地，從地上爬起來時，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的左臂和肘部也被擦傷，并且現(xiàn)在我的肋骨有點(diǎn)痛。

I was just passing the road and crashed a car drove from the corner. Since it drove fast, when driver saw me, it was too late to stop the car. I was run down on the road. When I stood up, I found that my left arm and elbow had got injured. Now I found I feel pain in my rib.

大夫：讓我檢查一下吧。你哪兒疼啊？

Let me have a check. Where do you feel pain.

病人：這很難說清楚，好象渾身都痛。

It’s hard to say. Everything hurts.

大夫：我按這兒，你疼不疼？

Do you feel pain when I press here?

病人：哎呀！你一按這兒我就疼得要命。

Oh, it pain me to death when you press here.

大夫：你的胳膊和肘部好象沒什么問題。但是出于安全考慮，你還是最好去照一張x光片。片子照好之后，馬上拿過來讓我看看。

It seems no problem with your arm and elbow. But considering the safety, you should take X- ray. After that, please take it to me as soon as possible.
