Well, hello everyone and welcome（ 欢迎） to EnglishPod. My name's Erika. And I'm Marco. So Marco, how are you doing today? I'm doing great and I'm really looking forward（向前） to our lesson because we're going to the eye doctor today. Okay（好）, so we've got an elementary（基本的） lesson about going to the eye doctor.

  Yes. Well, let's get started then with our vocabulary（词汇） preview（预演）. Vocabulary preview. We have three words today in our vocabulary preview. All three words come from our dialogue. Our first word is "struggle（ 努力）."

  "Struggle." "Struggle." "Struggle." So Marco, when I struggle to do something, what does that mean（意味）? It means it's difficult. It means that you have a hard time so you can't really do it very quickly.

  So you have to try really hard. You have to try really hard. Yeah, to do something that's difficult. Yes. Okay, our next word is "blurry." Blurry.

  Blurry. Blurry. B-L-U-R-R-Y. Blurry. Whenever（无论何时） something is blurry, you can't really see it well. It's not clear（清晰的）.

  Right. That's right. Everything will be blurry. Okay, and our final word is "prescription（指示）." Prescription. Prescription.

  Often when you go to the doctor and you need some medicine（内服药）, he writes out a prescription. Right. A little paper that says all the medicine that you need and then you can go to the drugstore（[药] 药房（常兼售化妆品、杂志等杂货）） and buy it. Exactly（确切地）. Mm（缅甸的域名）-hmm. Okay, so those three words you'll hear in today's dialogue and I think it's time we listen to the dialogue.

  Hello, Arthur. What seems（ 似乎） to be the problem? Hey, Doc. Well, I think I might（可以〔用于礼貌地提出建议〕） need glasses. I'm getting headaches（头痛） and I really struggle（ 努力） to see things that are far away. But I've always had 20/20 vision（视）.

  Hmm. Sounds like you might be farsighted. Okay, then. Cover（盖） your left eye and read the chart in front of you. Hmm. X.

  B. R. 3. Uh, question mark（斑点）. And I can't quite make out the other symbol（象征）, but I think it's the peace（和平） sign（符号）. Wow（哇）.

  Arthur, you're as（ 像…一样） blind（瞎的） as（ 像…一样） a bat. Yeah, I know. My vision is really blurry. At times. Okay, then. Head（率领） over to the other room and pick（ 拾起） out some frames（框架） while I fill out your prescription（指示）.

  Thanks, Doc. Arthur, that's the bathroom. Well, this guy（家伙） really has poor vision（视）, hey? Well, actually（实际上）, you know what? I've walked into the bathroom, the men's bathroom, actually, instead（代替） of the women's bathroom, and that's not because I wasn't wearing my glasses. That's because you weren't paying attention（注意）.

  That's true. Okay, let's take a look（看） today at our language takeaway（外卖食品）. Language takeaway. The first word on our language takeaway for today is 20/20 vision. 20/20 vision. 20/20 vision.

  If I have 20/20 vision, it means that you have perfect vision, which I do not have. No, me neither（（某人或某事物）也不）.
