Learn Japanese with JapanesePod101.com! You wake up in a cold sweat in your Japanese bed. As you wait in the doctor’s waiting room, you become increasingly agitated. Even as a child, your mother always told you in Japanese, “You’re such a bad patient! You need to listen to the doctor’s advice and rest.” Unfortunately, the word “rest” has never been in your Japanese vocabulary, even at an early age. Where most kids always wanted to be sick to miss school, you couldn’t bear the thought of missing your Japanese class. So now when the nurse tells you in Japanese, “Let me take your temperature so we can see what is wrong with you,” you already are convincing yourself that you feel better so you can go to work. When the nurse reads the thermometer, she tells you in Japanese, “Wow, that’s a high fever! You should rest. If you don’t rest, you’ll start feeling worse. Sit still and the doctor will be with you in just a few minutes.” That is not the Japanese advice you wanted to hear!
