A Hey honey, how was your day? 親愛的,今天過得如何?
B It was alright. I ran into Bill and we got to talking for a while. He’s in a bit of a jam. 還行。我碰見比爾了,我們說了會兒話。他現(xiàn)在有些困難。
A Why? What happened? 為什么?發(fā)生什么事了?
B Well, his son had an accident and Bill doesn’t have health insurance. This really got me thinking, and I wondered if we shouldn’t look into a couple of different HMO’s. 他兒子出了車禍,但是比爾沒有醫(yī)療保險。這使我思考我們是不是應(yīng)該調(diào)查下不同的醫(yī)保組織。
A Yeah, you’re right. We aren’t getting any younger and our kids are getting older. 你說得對。我們不再年輕,孩子也在變老。
B Exactly! I searched on the web and found a couple of HMO’s with low co-pays and good coverage. The deductibles are low, too. 是啊,我在網(wǎng)上搜索了,找到了2家保健組織,它們的醫(yī)療費(fèi)很低而且保險項(xiàng)目很好??鄢龡l款也很低。
A Sounds good, although, do you think we can qualify for insurance? Those insurance companies are real pirates when it comes to money. 聽起來不錯,但是你認(rèn)為我們適合保險嗎?這些保險公司一旦涉及到錢就十分貪婪。
B Well, we don’t have any pre-existing illnesses or conditions, so we should be fine. 我們沒有先天性的疾病和癥狀,所以應(yīng)該適合保險。
A I wish our company or country provided us with healthcare. 我希望我們的公司或是單位能為我們提供醫(yī)保。
B Not in a million years! 一百萬年內(nèi)都別指望了。
