DIALOGUE

王华：李医生请我星期六晚上吃西餐，在上海最好的西餐厅。

妈妈：那你得穿漂亮点儿。

王华：没错！李医生肯定穿西装去，我也得穿得正式一些。

妈妈：对了，最近我偶尔头疼，不过不严重。你帮我问问他吃点儿什么药好。

王华：妈，李医生是西医，他肯定建议你先去医院检查一下。西药跟中药不一样，不能乱吃。

妈妈：我就是不想去医院才让你帮我问他的。

王华：西医一般都要先检查。

TRANSLATION

Wang Hua: Doctor Lee has invited me to eat Western food on Saturday evening, in the best western restaurant in Shanghai.
Mom: In that case, you must dress nicely.
Wang Hua: That's right. Doctor Lee will certainly wear a suit, and I have to dress up as well.
Mom: By the way, I've had an occasional headache lately, but not severe. Please consult him about which medicine I could take.
Wang Hua: Mom, Doctor Lee, is a western doctor. He will recommend you go to the hospital and have a check-up first. Western medicine is different from Chinese medicine. You couldn't take medicine indiscriminately.
Mom: I asked you to consult him because I don't want to go to the hospital.
Wang Hua: It usually needs a check-up first in western medicine.
