公共英语PETS-2每日对话练习(67)

　 Jeff: That kind of mix is really popular in the States right now.
　　 Sylvia: Really? Americans know about stuff like acupuncture and Chinese herbs?
　　 Jeff: Of course. People just eat stuff like that up. And feng shui is very popular, too.
　　 Sylvia: No kidding. Maybe I should tell my doctor friends to go work in the States.
　　 Jeff: They'd have a lot of competition, especially in California!
　　 Sylvia: You know, back when she was comatose, the doctors almost donated away Liu's organs.
　　 Jeff: Damn good thing they didn't. She'd wake up without a heart. [the door opens]
　　 Sylvia: It's Mr. Green. Quick! If he catches us watching TV, he'll donate our organs, too!
