Last year while I was in Madrid, Spain, my back hurt. So I went to the local hospital for an examination.
I was 1 to a small room, and soon a surgeon came to 2 me. He told me to remove my 3 and he gave me a gown (罩衣) which hardly 4 anything.
He then asked me in Spanish if I was embarrassed. "Si, unpoco (Yes, a little)", I replied with my face turning red. He looked at me as though 5 me and then he quickly 6 down the passage (走廊).
Soon he reappeared with a group of 7 students, and again asked the same question in Spanish. Now I was feeling 8 , and shouted in English, "Yes, I'm extremely 9 ." Then a female doctor in the group held my arm gently and 10 in perfect English, "I think I see the 11 . My tutor wants to take a 12 of your back—an X-ray—so he wants to know if you are 13 a baby. You see, embarazada means pregnant in Spanish."
No sooner had she told me this than I realized the 14 of the misunderstanding. We all had a 15 , although I must admit that I felt rather stupid as well.
