Two Weeks to Live

The man is shocked. He asks the doctor，“Is there anything that I could do to make the time that I have left more tolerable？”The doctor thinks for a moment．“There is one thing that you could do”．

“Just name it．I’ll do whatever it is．”He tells the man to take a lot of mud baths，twice or three times a day．

还能活两周

一个人到医生那儿去体检。医生检查完后告诉他说：“我有一个坏消息要告诉你，你大概只能活两周了。”

那人很震惊。他问医生：“我能做些什么来减轻自己最后这段时间的痛苦呢？”

医生想了一会儿，说：“有一件事你可以做。”

“赶快告诉我，我什么都愿意做。”医生告诉他尽量多洗泥土浴，最好一天两到三次。
