1. 中英文逐句转述 

拔牙可能是一件可怕的事。

Hng a tooth pulled out can be terrifying.      

但是，没有人比我的朋友Joey有过更糟糕的经历了。

But no one has had a worse experience than my friend Joey.

上周日，他牙疼得厉害，去了牙医诊所。

Last Sunday, he had a terrible toothache and went to the dentist.     

在经历恐怖的拔牙手术之后，牙医很开心地给他看了看刚刚拔出的牙，让他休息一会儿。

After a frightening tooth extraction, his dentist happily showed him the tooth that had just been pulled out and asked him to take a rest.

Joey松了口气 ，躺在牙科治疗椅上，嘴里塞满了药棉。

Joey felt relieved and was lying on the dental chair, with his mouth full of cotton wool.

他的牙医似乎心情不错，开始闲聊起来。

His dentist seemed to be light-hearted and began to make conversation.

【light-hearted adj. = cheerful and happy / make conversation闲聊】

他问Joey是否他收藏的火柴盒在增长，他的哥哥近况如何，以及Joey在伦敦的工作是否顺利。

He asked Joey whether his collection of match boxes was growing, how his brother was doing and whether his new job in London went well.

作为对于这些没完没了的问题的回答，Joey只能点头或者发出奇怪的声音。

In answer to these endless questions, Joey was only able to nod or make strange noises.  

与此同时，他的舌头急切地在搜寻那颗拔掉的牙原来所在的洞。

In the meantime, his tongue was eagerly searching for the hole in which the tooth had been.

突然，Joey感到特别焦虑,但是他还是无法说话。

Suddenly, Joey felt extremely worried, but still could not say a word.

此时，牙医还在兴奋得询问Joey上个月度假的情况。

Meanwhile, the dentist was still excitingly asking about the vacation Joey was taking last month.

当药棉最终从他的嘴里拿开之时，Joey总算可以告诉他的牙医：牙给拔错了。

When the cotton wool was finally removed from his mouth, Joey was able to tell his dentist that a wrong tooth had been pulled out.

的确，拔牙最恐怖的部分不是疼痛而是一个马虎的牙医。

Indeed, the most terrifying part of a tooth extraction is not the pain but a careless dentist.

3. 东欣点评 

I hope no one will ever meet a careless dentist like the one in this story.

下面我们来听两个在牙医诊所的英文段子：

回顾一下,听读笑话有几个提示，

1. Don’t take it seriously

2. Get the hidden meaning.

补充词汇：

tooth decay

cty = A cty is a hole in a tooth, caused by decay（腐蚀）.

The cty will be filled.        

filling.  

A filling is a small amount of metal or plastic that a dentist puts in a hole in a tooth to prevent further decay.

Joke 1：

A little boy was taken to the dentist. It was discovered that he had a cty that would have to be filled. “Now, young man,” asked the dentist, “what kind of filling would you like for that tooth?” “Chocolate, please,” replied the boy.

注意：这个笑话的hidden meaning是啥？

Joke 2：

"Open wider." requested the dentist, as he began his examination of the patient. "Good God !" he said startled. "You've got the biggest cty I've ever seen - the biggest cty I've ever seen." "OK Doc !" replied the patient. "I'm scared enough without you saying something like that twice." "I didn't !" said the dentist. "That was the echo."   

注意：这个笑话用到了Hyperbole的手法，造成humor.
