這些照片你照的好極了。You took these photos very well.

謝謝! 哈啾! 怎麼了,你感冒了嗎?What’s the matter, do you have a cold?

我想是昨天在阿裡山比較冷,衣服穿得太少了。I think it was colder in Alishan yesterday, I didn’t wear enough .

你量過體溫了嗎?Have you taken your temperature?

還沒有,不過我有一點鼻塞。Not yet, But, I have a bit of a stuffy nose .

身體還有不舒服的地方嗎?Is there any discomfort in your body?

喉嚨也很痛。 Sore throat too.

你最好讓醫生檢查一下。You’d better see a doctor.

我吃幾片阿司匹林多喝一點水就會好的。I’ll take a few aspirins and have some water,

and then I’ll be fine.

等一下你比較方便的時候,我再來拜訪你好了。
Wait  another time when it is more convenient for you, I will visit you again.
