1、大学英语精读第六单元（CollegeEnglishintensivereadingunitSixth）ErnestHemingway的故事是关于一个事件，发生在父亲与儿子之间。小男孩对华氏温标和摄氏温标测量温度差其他误解使他相信自己正在发高烧。可是，父亲并没有意识到直到很晚，天.一天的等待一天的等待他走进房间关窗户的时候，我们依旧在床上，我看见他忧如病了。他在发抖，神情苍白，他走的很慢，忧如一动就疼。他走进我们房间关窗户的时候，我们还未起床。我见他一副病容，全身发抖，神情苍白，步履缓慢，忧如一动就会引起悲伤。“这件事，是Schatz吗？”“我头疼。”“你最好回去睡觉。”“不，我没事。”你怎么啦

2、，宝贝？”“我头痛。”“你最好回床上去睡。”“不，我没啥病。”“你去睡觉吧！”。我要你当我的衣服。”你先去睡。我穿好衣服来看你。”可是当我下楼的时候，他穿着衣服，坐在炉火旁，看着一个九岁的重病而悲伤的男孩。我把我的手放在他的额头上我知道他发热了。可是当我抵达楼下时，他已穿好衣服，坐在火炉旁。这个9岁的男孩，看上去病得厉害，一副可怜的模样我用手摸了摸他的额头，知道他发热了。“你去睡觉吧，”我说，“你病了。”“我没事，”他说。医生来后，量了孩子的体温。“这是什么？”我问他。“一百零二。”你到楼上去睡我说，”，“你病了。”“我没有病，“他说。医生来后，量了孩子的体温。“多少度我问医生？”。“102度

3、。”在楼下，医生在不同样颜色的胶囊中留下三种不同样的药物，并给他们服用说明书。一个是退烧，另一种泻药，战胜酸性条件第三。流感细菌只幸亏酸性环境中生计，他说。他忧如知道所有关于流感的知识，并说若是发热不高出一百零四度，就没什么好担忧的。这是轻度流感，若是不并发肺炎就没有危险。下楼后，医生留下用不同样颜色胶囊包装的三种药丸，并嘱咐如何服用。一种药退烧，另一种润肠、通便，还有一种是去酸。他讲解说，流感细菌只幸亏酸性环境中生计。他忧如对流感很专家，并说，若是发热不高出104度，就用不着担忧。这是轻度流感，只要当心不引起肺炎，就无危险。回到房间，我写下了男孩的体温，并记下了给各种胶囊的时间。“你要我读给

4、你听吗？”我田到房里，记下孩子的体温，并记下各种胶囊的服用时间。“要不要让我读，点书给你听？”“好吧。“若是你愿意的话，”男孩说。他的脸很白，眼睛下面有黑圈。他一动不动地躺在床上，超然物外。”好的，若是你想读的话，“孩子说。他的神情十分苍白，眼窝下方有黑晕他躺在床上一动不动，对周围发生的所有漠然置之。我读了霍华德派尔的海盗书，但我看得出他并没有注意到我在读什么。IreadHoward,Pylespiratestory,butIcouldseehewasntlistening.How,do,you,feel,Schatz?I,asked,him.Just,the,same,so,far,hesa
