While on vacation in San Francisco, my sister developed a toothache. The hotel desk clerk recommended a dentist. Susan, who dislikes heights, was horrified to discover that she was located on the 14th floor of a skyscraper, with two of the office walls made entirely of glass.
在旧金山度假时，我姐姐牙病犯了。这个酒店前台推荐了一个牙医。苏珊有恐高症，发现自己在两边都是玻璃墙14层大楼时，吓坏了。

Susan was sitting rigidly in the examination chair, clutching its sides, when the dentist came in. “Are you always this nervous?” he asked.
苏珊很和僵硬的坐在检查座位上，紧紧握住椅子的两旁，当医生进来时，看到这种情况就问，你一直这么紧张吗？

It’s just that I ‘m not used to being up this high,” Susan replied, eyes closed.
苏珊闭着眼睛回答：只是我不习惯待在这么高的地方

“Oh, I’m sorry,” he said. Then he lowered her chair six inches.
“不好意思啊，”他说。然后就把椅子调低了6英尺。
