职业病

职业病
zhíyèbìng
Occupational disease

“职业”是什么意思？
“Zhíyè” shì shénme yìsi?
What does "career" mean?

工作。
Gōngzuò.
Work.

对！“病”呢？
Duì! “Bìng” ne?
Correct! What about "illness"?

生病吗？
Shēngbìng ma?
Sick?

对，非常好。
Duì, fēicháng hǎo.
Yes, very good。

所以“职业病”就是因为工作得的病。
Suǒyǐ “zhíyèbìng” jiùshì yīnwèi gōngzuò dé de bìng.
So "occupational disease" is a disease caused by work.

它也是一个slang,
Tā yě shì yí gè slang,
It is slang too,

比如说，因为我是中文老师，
Bǐrú shuō, yīnwèi wǒ shì Zhōngwén lǎoshī,
For example, because I am a Chinese teacher,

所以听到朋友们说中文时发音不标准，
suǒyǐ tīng dào péngyou men shuō Zhōngwén shí fāyīn bù biāozhǔn,
so when I hear my friends speaking Chinese and their pronunciation isn’t to the standard,

我都会忍不住去纠正他们。
Wǒ dōu huì rěn bú zhù qù jiūzhèng tāmen.
I cannot help but correct them.

这就是“职业病”, 明白了吗？
Zhè jiùshì “zhíyèbìng”, míngbai le ma?
This is an occupational disease,got it?

明白了。
Míngbai le.
I see.

好。那如果我的朋友是整容医生，
Hǎo. Nà rúguǒ wǒ de péngyou shì zhěngróng yīshēng,
Good. So if my friend is a plastic surgeon,

每次我们见面，
Měi cì wǒmen jiànmiàn,
every time we see each other,

她都会告诉我，我的脸上哪里哪里需要做什么，
tā dōu huì gàosu wǒ, wǒ de liǎn shàng nǎlǐ nǎlǐ xūyào zuò shénme,
she tells me what needs to be done on my face,

所以我可以说她有什么？
suǒyǐ wǒ kěyǐ shuō tā yǒu shénme?
so what can I say she has?

神经病！
Shénjīngbìng!
Psycho!

对，我也觉得。
Duì, wǒ yě juéde.
Yes, I think so too.
