约翰·吉尔伯特住院时，想请医生告诉他手术成不成功，医生却不肯说。 第二天，他要了一部床头电话。等房间里只剩自己时，他打给医院总机，请转米灵顿医生。 医生接起电话，吉尔伯特先生说，他想打听一位叫约翰·吉尔伯特的病人的情况。 他问手术是否成功，医生说很成功。他又问病人什么时候能回家，医生说还得住两个星期。 接着，米灵顿医生问来电者是不是病人的亲属。病人回答：“不是，我就是约翰·吉尔伯特。”
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《我是否痊愈？》：当面问不到结果 → 换个身份打电话 → 以旁人的口吻询问 → 问到手术和出院日期 → 最后表明自己是谁。再借一个结构讲自己的事：用ask someone to tell me whether…提出一个清楚的请求。
