　　Tom: What do you think, Doctor? Is he depressed? He probably needs to be on some strong anti-depressants, right?

　　Psychologist: Well, it's perfectly normal for a young puppy to have this kind of temperament. How often do you take him out to get some exercise?

　　Tom: Not that often. You see, I promised my wife that I would always take him for walks. But I started getting really tired of running after him all the time, so I stopped.

　　Psychologist: It's pretty important that he gets lots of exercise to use up his energy. He shouldn't be cooped up in the house all day.

　　我就知道Tom很难做到每天出去遛狗! 瞧，连医生都说，Tom的狗精力过盛。

　　Professor: Right. The dog shouldn't be cooped up in the house all day.

　　Cooped up? 就是指被关起来么？

　　Professor: Exactly. You can use it in lots of different ways. For example, it's important you have someone to talk to when you're sad so that you don't keep your emotions cooped up inside yourself.

　　哦，就是说难过的时候不要把感情憋在心里，应该找人聊聊天，发泄一下。对了，这个心理医生还说到一个词，"temperament," 这是什么意思？

　　Professor: The word temperament means character or personality. For example, it's important for doctors to have a calm temperament so they can handle the stress of their job.
