Amber encounters Carl one morning and remarks that he seems to have lost some weight recently. Carl replies that he hasn’t been feeling up to par recently. Amber suggests that Carl should perhaps see a doctor, and Carl agrees. What could be wrong with him?

　　Amber: Carl. How are you this morning?

　　Carl: Not too bad, I guess. I haven’t been feeling up to par recently.

　　Amber: You’re much thinner since the last time I saw you. That business trip must have been hard.

　　Carl: No, that was no problem.

　　Amber: (trying to joke) Well, you know, extreme dieting is not an advisable way to lose weight.

　　Carl: Oh, I’ve been eating OK.

　　Amber: (still trying a joke) If this keeps up, your girlfriend may have to tell everyone that her boyfriend is skin-and-bones.

　　Carl: (smiling) Well, maybe that’s better than saying I’m as fat as a pig.

　　Amber: Seriously, is there something wrong?

　　Carl: I don’t know. Perhaps it’s the job, the stress.

　　Amber: Maybe you should go see a doctor, to be safe.

　　Carl: I think I’ll do that. Well, have a good day, Amber.

　　Amber: You too, Carl. Take it easy!

　　一天早上，Amber 碰见了Carl 发现他最近瘦了。Carl 解释说他最近一直感觉不好。Amber 建议Carl 去看医生 ，Carl 接受了。他会有什么问题呢？

　　Amber: Carl。 今早怎么样？

　　Carl: 我觉得还行吧。近来我一直觉得身体不太好。

　　Amber: 你比我上次见你时苗条多了。那次出差一定挺累的吧。

　　Carl: 不，没问题。

　　Amber: (想开玩笑) 呃，你知道，高度节食并不是减肥最好的办法。

　　Carl: 哦，我一直吃得还行。

　　Amber: (又开了个玩笑) 要是你一直瘦下去，你女朋友可能会对大家说她的男友都皮包骨头了。

　　Carl: (笑了) 哎，可能那比说我像猪一样胖。要好吧。

　　Amber: 认真点儿，出什么问题了吗？

　　Carl: 我不知道。可能是工作压力太大了吧。

　　Amber: 安全起见，可能你应该去看医生。

　　Carl: 我想我会去的。就这样吧，祝你今天过得愉快，Amber。

　　Amber: 你也是, Carl。 别担心！
