📌 关键词:

· nearsighted /ˈnɪrsaɪtɪd/ 近视 (美式说法, 英式说 short-sighted; 反义 farsighted 远视)。例:nearsighted / I'm a little nearsighted / he's very nearsighted

· prescription /prɪˈskrɪpʃən/ 度数, 验光处方 (配眼镜和开药都用它)。★中美单位不同: 中文说"一百五十度", 英文说屈光度 minus one point five, 换算是度数除以 100。例:prescription / my prescription is minus one point five / fill a prescription

· in my experience /ɪn maɪ ɪkˈspɪriəns/ 就我的经历而言 (把判断限定在自己身上, 比直接说"你错了"客气得多, 也更有说服力)。例:in my experience / not in my experience / in my experience it takes longer

· keep getting stronger /kiːp ˈɡetɪŋ ˈstrɔːŋɡər/ 一直在加深 (度数变深用 stronger, 不说 deeper)。例:keep getting stronger / my prescription keeps getting stronger / it keeps getting worse

· insurance covers /ɪnˈʃʊrəns ˈkʌvərz/ 保险包含、能报销 (cover 是"涵盖", 后面直接接被保的项目)。例:insurance covers / my insurance covers glasses / covered by insurance

· picked out /pɪkt aʊt/ 挑选 (pick out 是从一堆里挑一个; 单说 pick 更像"捡起")。例:picked out / I picked out a frame / help me pick one out

· frame /freɪm/ 镜框 (镜片是 lenses, 框加片才是一副眼镜 glasses)。例:frame / a hundred-dollar frame / try on frames

· lenses /ˈlenzɪz/ 镜片 (单数 lens, 复数 lenses; 隐形眼镜是 contact lenses)。例:lenses / good lenses / contact lenses

· out of pocket /aʊt əv ˈpɑːkɪt/ 自付部分, 保险报销之外自己掏的钱 (在美国看病买保险必用)。例:out of pocket / fifty dollars out of pocket / out-of-pocket cost

· Fingers crossed /ˈfɪŋɡərz krɔːst/ 但愿, 祈祷别出事 (源自交叉手指求好运的动作)。例:Fingers crossed / fingers crossed it works / keep your fingers crossed

② I don't wear them every day. I'm only a little nearsighted.

我平时不是每天戴. 我近视不深.
