Question

A young American doctor was asleep when his door bell(門鈴) began to ring. It was late at

night. But what could the doctor do? He had to put on his coat. It was a man! He was standing

outside with a hat in his hand. "How do you do?" said the man, "Can you come at once(立刻) to a place out of town? It's quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way. ""Certainly." said the doctor, "I can come at once."

Soon the car was at the front door. The man got on the doctor's car and they drove off. They drove for a long time, and then the man said, "Here we are. This is my home. Now I can give you money, and you can go back to the town."

"But I must see the patient (病人)." the doctor said, "How can I go back without seeing the patient?" "There's no patient," said the man, "No one is ill, I live here. There are no taxis at this time of night, but a doctor often goes out for night calls(夜診). So, excuse me, here's your money. Thank you, doctor. Good night!"
