參考譯文：

病入膏肓

春秋時(shí)期，晉景公有一次得了重病，聽說秦國有一個(gè)醫(yī)術(shù)很高明的醫(yī)生，便專程派人去請來。有一晚，晉景公恍惚中做了個(gè)夢。夢見了兩個(gè)小孩，正悄悄地在他身旁說話。一個(gè)說：“那個(gè)高明的醫(yī)生馬上就要來了，我看我們這回難逃了，我們躲到什么地方去呢？”另一個(gè)小孩說道：“這沒什么可怕的，我們躲到肓的上面，膏的下面，無論他怎樣用藥，都奈何我們不得。”翌日，秦國的名醫(yī)到了，立刻被請進(jìn)了晉景公的臥室替晉景公治病。診斷后，那醫(yī)生對晉景公說：“這病已沒辦法治了。疾病在肓之上，膏之下，用灸法攻治不行，扎針又達(dá)不到，吃湯藥，其效力也達(dá)不到。這病是實(shí)在沒法子治了。”這個(gè)成語意喻事情到了無可挽回的地步。
【詞語解析】
1、英文中“病入膏肓”可以說成“have one foot in the grave”，就是“一只腳在墳?zāi)估?rdquo;的意思，形容一個(gè)人已經(jīng)行將就木，病的很重。這個(gè)短語與中文一樣，可以引申指“事態(tài)很嚴(yán)重”，比如可以說“某國經(jīng)濟(jì)已經(jīng)病入膏肓”就可以說“……economy already has one foot in the grave”。
2、feel ill 生病；
Did you really feel ill this morning?
今天早晨你真的感到身體不適嗎？
