outdone for yourself this time,and you won’t be walking with this knee for eight weeks.

weeks from now ,can’t it be healed (治愈)by then?
怎么可能,我六周后还有一个露营旅行计划呢,到时候有可能会痊愈么?
D: That’s a tall order,Tony…but I think it’s not out of the question.With a lot of rest now……and
intensive physical therapy(集中物理疗法),you just may be back in the saddle again in six weeks.But the therapy requires a lot of work,and time ……and specifically,following the docter’s orders……Can you handle that ?
这个真的很难啊,托尼,不过我认为并不是没有可能性。现在多休息,加上集中物理治疗,你六周内就可以回归正常的生活。但是该疗法既耗时又耗精力,说具体点,你得听医生的指令,你做得到么?
T:piece of cake!!(小菜一碟“没问题”)
