tooth woes牙齿的疾苦
Written by Mark Van Steenwyk : February 17, 2007写的马克范steenwyk ： 2007年2月17日
A big chunk of my tooth broke off on the way home from a wedding tonight. Now the “chewy” center of one of my molars is exposed. I’m currently uninsured and broke, and am heading out of town on Tuesday. Anyone know of a free or cheap dental clinic in Minneapolis?一个大大块，我牙断交就在回家途中，从今晚的婚礼，现在“ chewy ”的中心之一，我的磨牙是暴露无遗。我目前没有投保，并打破了，和上午的标题，出城的就星期二。任何人知道一个免费或廉价的牙科诊所，在明尼阿波利斯？

I can relate to your dental problems, because I’ve had my share of such problems.我可以涉及到您的牙齿有问题，因为我已经我的产品市场占有率等问题。 Like you, I have often experienced such problems when I was uninsured and unable to pay normal dental fees.像你们一样，我常常经历了这样的问题，当我保险，无力支付正常的牙科费用。
I’m currently from Chicago, not Minneapolis, so I don’t know much about dental clinics in your area.我目前从芝加哥，明尼阿波利斯没有，所以我不知道不多，牙科诊所，在您的地区。 However, in the early nineties, I once received dental help through a Chicago clinic associated with the Salvation Army.然而，在90年代初，我曾经收到牙科帮助通过芝加哥诊所与救世军。 You might want to call the Salvation Army and see if they offer anything of that nature in Minneapolis.您可能会想要打电话给救世军，看看是否他们所提供的任何这种性质的在明尼阿波利斯。
You’re probably aware that charitable dental clinics rarely if ever offer complex treatments such as root canals.您可能知道，慈善牙科诊所很少，如果以往任何时候都提供复杂的治疗，如根管。 Extraction is a lot cheaper.提取是一个很大便宜。 That stinks, if one has already lost a number of teeth in the past.这stinks ，如果一人已失去了一些牙齿在过去的。 But at least extraction usually alleviates the pain, unless of course you get a so-called “dry socket” (which, in reality, is anything but dry).但至少提取通常是缓解疼痛，除非当然，你得到一个所谓的“干槽症” （即，在现实中，是什么，但干） 。 That happened to me once.发生在我一次。 Afterwards, I had partial lock-jaw for several months, and couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to eat certain foods (such as thick sandwiches).事后，我有部分锁照了数个月，无法打开我嘴里广泛，足以吃某些食物（如厚厚的三文治） 。 Plus, my tooth bled continuously.另外，我的牙齿流血不断。 Fortunately, the problem went away eventually.所幸的是，这个问题到远离最终。 And I didn’t starve in the meantime.我没有饿死在此期间。
I’ll pray for you, regarding your tooth.我会为你祈祷，关于你的牙齿。 If I could do more to help, I would.如果我可以做更多的帮助，我想。
I hope that you, in turn, will pray for me.我希望你，反过来也将你们为我祈祷吧。 I have been out of work for roughly a month and a half.我已失去工作，大约一个半月。 I’ve fallen behind on my rent, and I can’t continue to fall behind without the risk of eviction.我已经落后于我的租金，我不能继续落后于无风险的驱逐。
I did successfully apply for food stamps the other day, but what I really need is a good job.我并成功申请粮食券的其他天，但我真正需要的是一个很好的工作。 Getting one may be an uphill battle because of the involuntary circumstances in which I lost my last 2 jobs.获得一可能是一场艰苦的战斗，因为非自愿在何种情况下，我失去了最后2职位。 But I am trying to keep my spirits up and to have faith that the Lord will once again provide for me.但我想保留我的精神，并有信心认为，上帝将再次提供了我。
I wrote the following song lyrics (with an accompanying tune) in late 2005 when experiencing similar problems:我写了以下的歌词（ 1陪同调重弹）在2005年年底，当遇到类似的问题：

I hope that the preceding lyrics are a blessing to you as you struggle with your own financial issues.我希望前面的歌词是祝福你，你的斗争，与自己的财务问题。
