One day Tony Campbell was crossing the road when he
was hit by a car. He fell and broke his arm.
 An ambulance soon arrived and took Tony to
a hospital. There a doctor operated on his arm. Then
he put the arm in a cast. Tony could not move it at all.
  “You must keep your arm in a cast for six weeks,”

the doctor said. “That will give the broken bone a chance to heal.”
  At the end of six weeks Tony went back to the hospital. The
doctor used a large saw to cut the cast. Then he took Tony’s
arm out of the cast.
  “Can you move your arm, Tony?” he asked.
  Tony tried to move his arm. At first it was difficult, but soon
he could move it easily.
  “Yes, it’s fine,” he said. “Thank you very much.”
  “In a few days it will be as good as new,” the doctor said.
“Just exercise it a little.”

  “Will I be able to play the guitar?” Tony asked.
  The doctor smiled. “Of course you will,” he said. “You’ll
have no problems.”
  “That is good news,” Tony said, “because I couldn’t play it
at all before.”

             吉　他　手
  一天，托尼·坎贝尔过马路时被车撞了，摔伤了胳膊。
  一辆救护车很快赶到，把他送到了医院。在医院，医生给他做完手术
后，把他的手放进石膏铸模里，胳膊一点也动弹不了。
  “你的胳膊必须固定在石膏里六周时间，”医生说，“那样骨头才能愈
合。”
  六周后，托尼来到医院。医生用一把大锯把石膏锯开，然后把他的胳膊
从石膏中取出来。
  他问：“托尼，胳膊能动吗？”
  托尼试着动了动胳膊。一开始有点困难，很快他就能活动自如了。
  “很好，”他说，“非常感谢您。”
  “再过几天，你的胳膊就跟原来一样了，多运动运动。”医生说。
  “我能弹吉他吗？”托尼问道。
  医生笑笑说：“当然能啦，一点问题也没有。”
  “那可是个好消息，”托尼说，“我以前根本不会弹吉他。”
