This is a true story, which happened to me. For a while, I worked as a cashier at a local drugstore. Well, one afternoon, while I was working at the drug counter，a woman came in and dropped off 3 prescriptions¹ to be filled. Later, she came back, and wanted to pick up the prescriptions. Two of the prescriptions were ready, with the third stapled² to the bag. The pharmacist had already told me about this one.

这是我曾经历过的一个真实的故事，那时我在本地的一家药店做收银员。一天下午，我正在柜台里工作，一个妇女走了进来给了我三个处方笺，要配三服药。过了一会儿她回来取药，看到只配好了两个处方的药，而第三个处方却只是订在药袋上。药剂师已经告诉了我其中的原因。

"Here you go, we were only able to fill two of the prescriptions,” I said.

“给您，我们只能给您配这两服药。”我说。

"Why can’t you fill the other one?" she said.

“为什么不配那服药?”她问。

"I' m sorry, we don't carry that one,” I said.

“很抱歉我们这没有。”我答道。

"Well，can you order it?"

“你们可以定购吗?”

"No.”

“不行。”

"Well where can I get it filled?"

“那我到哪儿才能配到这服药?”

"I'm afraid you will have to go to the hospital to get it filled.”

“恐怕你得去医院了。”

"Why? What's it for?"

“为什么?你什么意思?”

"A chest X一ray.”

“这个处方写的是去医院做胸透。”
