The 81-year-old king of Thailand has been admitted to hospital suffering from fever. 81岁高龄的泰国国王因发热而住进医院。 King Bhumibol is the world's longest reigning current monarch2 People are gathering3 at the hospital to convey prayers and good wishes to King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longest-serving monarch. Doctors said the king, who has ruled for 63 years, showed signs of fatigue4(疲劳,疲乏) and was being treated with antibiotics5(抗生素). King Bhumibol is deeply revered6(尊敬,敬畏) by most Thais and his health is a matter of public anxiety. A statement from Thailand's royal household said King Bhumibol was taken to the Siriraj hospital in Bangkok on Saturday night. The Royal Household Bureau said the King is suffering from a fever, fatigue and loss of appetite. 'No problem' He is being treated with intravenous drips(静脉滴注) and antibiotics. Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon, army chief Anupong Paojinda and Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra were the first to sign the books. "There is no problem with His Majesty7's conditions. From my chats with doctors, there is nothing to be concerned about," Mr Abhisit said. The Bangkok Post newspaper quoted a 60-year old woman, Warinan Phurahong, saying she ran to the hospital when she heard about the King's condition and plans to stay at the hospital until His Majesty recovers. The king, a constitutional monarch, made a rare call for stability and reconciliation8(调和,和解) in Thai politics last month, as factions9(派别,派系) fight for power, often using his name and sanctified(神圣化的,认可的) image to strengthen their case. The weekend saw another outbreak of street demonstrations10 from the opposing political camps. The "red-shirts" marked the ousting11 of elected prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a coup12 three years ago with peaceful rallies. 点击收听单词发音
