“有，每天早上六點鐘。”
“And how are your bowel movements?”
“那大便情況如何？”
“Seven o’clock very morning, just like clockwork.”
“像時鐘一樣，我每天準時七點鐘上大號。”
“So what’s the problem?”
“那問題到底出在哪里呢？”

英語知識點解說：
1.have trouble doing sth 做某事有困難
=have difficulty doing sth
=have a hard time doing sth
=have problems doing sth
與此類相反的表示法則為：have a good time doing sth 做某事很愉快）。
例：I'm having trouble getting into these pants.
（這件褲子我很難穿進去。）
That's because you have such a hard time losing weight
（那是因為你減肥很不順利。）
2.urinate vi. 排尿；小便
=make water
wee-wee 小便（小孩子使用之口語）
take a leak （男孩子）上小號（俚）
3.bowel movement 大號（名詞）
move one's bowels 上大號（動詞）
bowel n. 大腸

4.clockwork n. 鐘表的機械裝置
