You are listening to the English Like a Native Podcast,

a podcast for intermediate and advanced English language learners.

这是一个针对中级和高级英语学习者的播客。

My name is Anna, and I'm not very well today, so I'm going to be teaching

我叫安娜，今天身体不太好，所以我要教

you how we talk about having a cold.

你如何谈论感冒。

Hello, welcome back to the podcast.

您好，欢迎回到播客。 这是专为

This is the podcast that's designed for lovers and learners

英语 爱好者和学习者设计的播客

of the English language.

。

I'm your host, Anna and I am very, very groggy.

我是你们的主人，安娜，我非常非常昏昏沉沉。

Today we're learning all about cold vocabulary.

今天我们来学习一些冷门词汇。

Hello everyone.

大家好。

You might be wondering what's going on with my voice.

你可能想知道我的声音怎么了。

Maybe you haven't noticed a difference in my voice, which is great, but if

也许你没有注意到我的声音有什么不同，这很好，但如果

you are wondering whether I'm wearing a peg on my nose, then the answer is no.

你想知道我的鼻子上是否戴着钉子，那么答案是否定的。

I'm not wearing a peg on my nose.

我鼻子上没有戴钉子。

I do in fact have a cold.

我确实感冒了。

I have a cold.

我感冒了。

I'm not feeling very well, so I thought that this would be a perfect

我感觉不太舒服，所以我想这是一个绝佳的

opportunity for me to talk to you about describing common symptoms

机会，可以和您谈谈与

associated with the common cold.

普通感冒相关的常见症状。

A cold is a virus or one of many viruses, and it's something that many of us

感冒是一种病毒或多种病毒中的一种，我们许多人

experience multiple times per year.

每年都会经历多次。

I can't remember the exact statistic, but I did see something that said the average

我不记得确切的统计数据，但我确实看到过一些资料说，一般

person will suffer with a cold, something like three or four times per year.

人每年会患感冒三到四次。

So, it's something we all suffer with and we all have to discuss in one form

所以，这是我们所有人都遭受的事情，我们都必须以一种

or another, whether you are telling your friends or your partner how you

或另一种形式进行讨论，无论你是告诉你的朋友或你的伴侣你的

feel, whether you are explaining to a doctor how you're feeling or to

感受，无论你是向医生解释你的感受还是向

your boss because you need some time off work because you feel so bad.

你的老板解释你的感受，因为你需要休息一段时间，因为你感觉很糟糕。

Or if you are visiting the pharmacy and you're talking to the pharmacist

或者，如果您正在去药房并与药剂师交谈，

and you're in desperate need of some medicine to make you feel better, and

并且您迫切需要一些药物来让您感觉好一点，并且

you're trying to describe what your symptoms are so that you can get the

您正在尝试描述您的症状，以便您可以获得

right medicine to treat your cold.

正确的药物来治疗你的感冒。

So, rather than spend ages doing another podcast with a very strange voice, I'm

因此，我不会花很长时间做另一个声音非常奇怪的播客，而是

doing the Common Cold Vocabulary Podcast.

做普通感冒词汇播客。

Okay?

好的？

So I have a cold, I'm suffering at the moment with quite a heavy cold.

所以我感冒了，我现在正受着相当重的感冒。

Now we use heavy to describe a cold that's quite bad.

现在我们用重度来形容非常严重的感冒。

You could say I've got quite a bad cold or a heavy cold.

你可以说我得了重感冒或者重感冒。

I don't know why we use heavy.

我不知道为什么我们要用重的。

I guess that's because how you feel when the cold is bad.

我想那是因为寒冷时你的感受。

It makes you feel quite heavy in your head and in your body.

它让你感觉头部和身体都很沉重。

It's like weighing you down, "Oh, I've got a cold."

这就像让你感到沉重，“哦，我感冒了。”

So, I have quite a heavy cold at the moment.

所以，我现在得了很重的感冒。

And I can also say when it's bad that I am full of a cold, I'm full

天气不好的时候我也可以说我感冒了，我感冒了

of a cold, and this would suggest that the cold is affecting me from

，这说明感冒从

my head all the way down to the tips of my toes, which is not the case.

我的头一直到我的脚趾尖，这就是事实并非如此。

A cold tends to affect you from your head down to your lungs, and then after that...

感冒往往会影响你从头到肺，然后……

or sometimes a cold, I guess, can affect your digestive system, which would go a

或者有时，我猜，感冒会影响你的消化系统，消化系统会降低一点

little lower, but that tends to be it.

，但往往就是这样。

So, saying I'm full of a cold is unusual.

所以，说我感冒了是不寻常的。

It's a metaphorical way of saying that my cold is really bad.

这是一种隐喻，表示我的感冒非常严重。

It's affecting me so much.

它对我影响很大。

I'm full of it.

我充满了它。

This got me thinking about the phrase to be full of something.

这让我想到了“充满某种东西”这个短语。

So, here I'm going to digress slightly away from colds and illnesses because to

所以，在这里我要稍微偏离一下感冒和疾病，因为

say you are full of something, this is used in a handful of circumstances, you

说你充满了某种东西，这在少数情况下使用，你

could say that you are full of beans.

可以说你充满了豆子。

To be full of beans.

要充满豆子。

This is an idiom that means you are full of energy as if beans are bouncy

这是一个成语，意思是你精力充沛，就像豆子一样有弹性

and energetic, which is unusual.

，精力充沛，这是不寻常的。

Are beans bouncy and energetic?

豆子有弹性和活力吗？

I don't think I've ever seen a bean bounce.

我想我从来没有见过豆子弹起来。

In fact, if you dropped a bean on the floor, I don't think it would bounce.

事实上，如果你把一颗豆子扔到地板上，我认为它不会反弹。

Maybe that's something I need to test out, but to be full of

也许这是我需要测试的东西，但充满

beans is to be full of energy.

活力就是充满活力。

I could say that when I woke up on Sunday morning after a full night's

我可以说，当我在周日早上经过一整晚的

sleep, and I opened the curtains to see that the sun was shining, I felt full

睡眠后醒来，打开窗帘看到阳光明媚时，我感到精神饱满

of beans and ready to start my day.

So, I'm sure he's gonna have a great day and he's really excited about the birthday

所以，我确信他会度过美好的一天，而且他对

party that he's going to this afternoon.

今天下午要参加的生日聚会感到非常兴奋。

He's full of beans.

他满脑子都是豆子。

You'd also use full of to describe your general energy levels in a different way.

您还可以使用 full of 以不同的方式描述您的总体能量水平。

So, you could say full of beans, or literally full of energy.

所以，你可以说充满豆子，或者字面上充满能量。

"Oh, since, since cutting out sugar, I'm just full of energy.

“哦，自从戒掉糖分后，我就精力充沛了。

Since improving my diet, I'm now full of energy.

could say you are full of enthusiasm.

可以说你充满热情。

Sometimes we use this sarcastically because in the UK we do have quite a

有时我们会讽刺地使用这个词，因为在英国，我们确实有一种相当

sarcastic sense of humour which is where we say things that we don't really mean.

讽刺的幽默感，这就是我们说一些我们并不真正想说的话的地方。

And so if I say to you, "Hey, I've planned a really awesome weekend.

所以如果我对你说：“嘿，我计划了一个非常棒的周末。

We're going to go swimming and then we're gonna go hiking, we're

我们要去游泳，然后去远足，我们要去

It's gonna be amazing."

And you say, "Uh, sounds really exciting."

你说：“呃，听起来真的很令人兴奋。”

Then I'd respond with, "Oh, you are full of enthusiasm".

然后我会回答：“哦，你充满热情”。

Which obviously you are not, but I say it in a sarcastic way.

显然你不是，但我是以讽刺的方式这么说的。

Huh, you are full of enthusiasm.

呵呵，你真是充满热情啊。

Okay?

So full of beans, full of energy, full of enthusiasm.

好的？

如此充满豆子，充满活力，充满热情。

You can also use this in a much more negative way and say that

你也可以用更消极的方式来使用这个词，说

someone is full of themselves.

某人充满了自我。

So, to be full of yourself is to be like in love with yourself full of arrogance

所以，充满自我就是像爱自己一样充满傲慢

and full of your own self importance.

和自我重要性。

So, you think that you are important and special and that everything you have

所以，你认为你很重要、很特别，你所说的一切

to say is valuable to everybody else.

I don't know, maybe they are.

Anyway, to be full of yourself is just to think that you are wonderful.

不管怎样，充满自我就是认为自己很棒。

So, you wouldn't really say that about yourself, that you are full of yourself.

所以，你不会真的这样评价自己，说你充满了自己。

So, I wouldn't say I'm full of myself.

所以，我不会说我自满。

Look at me.

看着我。

I'm full of myself because I'm just putting myself down.

我自满了，因为我只是贬低自己。

That doesn't really work.

那确实行不通。

But you would say it's about someone else who's being very arrogant.

但你可能会说这是关于其他人非常傲慢的事情。

So, if someone stands up in front of a room of strangers and

所以，如果有人站在一个满是陌生人的房间前，

they stand up and go, "Hey guys.

他们站起来说：“嘿，伙计们。

Um, so my name is Anna and I'm really beautiful.

And I'm really clever.

而且我真的很聪明。

I got a first in my degree and I'm really popular.

我获得了第一名 。” 我的学位，我真的很受欢迎。

Everyone likes me and if you want to follow me on social media, you

每个人都喜欢我，如果你想在社交媒体上关注我，你

can follow me because everyone else does, so you should too.

可以关注我，因为其他人都这样做，所以你也应该这样做。

And I can teach you a thing or two about everything because I

我可以教你一两件事，因为我

know everything about everything."

了解一切。”

Then everyone might think, "Oh, she is full of herself.

然后每个人可能会想，“哦，她太自以为是了。

I don't think I'll be following her on social media.

我想我不会在社交媒体上关注她。

She loves herself."

Okay, so to be full of yourself.

我没有提到的一个，那是因为它不经常使用，

but you might see it in creative writing, is to be full of woe.

但你可能会在创意写作中看到它，那就是充满悲伤。

So, this is kind of along the lines of being full of emotion.

所以，这有点像充满情感。

So, being full of energy and enthusiasm.

所以，充满活力和热情。

You can be full of woe.

你可能充满悲伤。

Woe is an older word that means sadness.

Woe是一个古老的词，意思是悲伤。

So if you're full of woe, you're full of sadness.

所以，如果你充满了悲伤，你就充满了悲伤。

It's not something that I would say.

这不是我想说的。

I wouldn't say to my partner, "Oh, Jacob was full of woe today."

我不会对我的伴侣说：“哦，雅各布今天充满了悲伤。”

It's a bit too poetic, but you will see it within poetry and within

这有点太诗意了，但你会在诗歌和

literature to be full of woe.

文学中看到它充满悲伤。

In fact, every time I say full of woe, I get this little

事实上，每次我说“充满悲伤”时，我都会遇到关于

niggle of a memory of a poem.

一首诗的记忆的小问题。

Poem, a poem that I used to hear over and over again, like maybe it's a A.A

诗，一首我曾经一遍又一遍地听到的诗，就像也许这是一首 AA

Milne poem and I can't think what it is.

Look it up.

It's a nice poem.

查一下。

这是一首好诗。

Right.

正确的。

So, to be full of woe and to be full of...

所以，充满悲伤，充满……

now this is a rude one and this is the last one.

现在这是一种粗鲁的行为，这是最后一种。

If there are small children around, don't worry because I'm not going to say

如果周围有小孩，别担心，因为我不会说

the word, it's S-H-I-T to be full of.

这个词，充满了屎。

If you are full of S H I T, then you are talking nonsense or you are telling

如果你充满了SHIT，那么你就是在胡说八道，或者你在撒谎

lies, or you are talking as if you know something when really you don't.

，或者你说得好像你知道一些事情，而实际上你并不知道。

So, you are spouting off a whole bunch of facts that aren't actually based in truth.

所以，你在滔滔不绝地讲述一大堆事实，但实际上并没有事实依据。

So, if I say to you, "Oh yes, I'm a mechanic.

所以，如果我对你说，“哦，是的，我是一名机械师。

I know how to fix your car.

我知道如何修理你的车。

You just take a dumbbell and you bang the dumbbell against the engine.

你只需拿一个哑铃，然后用哑铃敲击发动机。

Give it a few knocks.

Oh, and instead of petrol, maybe try using cooking oil in your petrol tank.

哦，也许可以尝试用油箱里的食用油代替汽油。

That'll do the world of good to your car.

这会对你的车有好处。

Yeah.

Yeah. Do that."

是的。

是的。做那。”

Then I am full of sh** I do not know what I'm talking about,

然后我就充满了嘘声，我不知道我在说什么，

but I'm talking as if I do know.

但我说得好像我知道一样。

Okay.

好的。

So, again, not a pleasant phrase, but a very common phrase.

所以，再说一遍，这不是一个令人愉快的短语，而是一个非常常见的短语。

Sometimes people would use that phrase with that meaning,

有时人们会使用具有这种含义的短语，

but not say the rude word.

Okay.

好的。

Bringing it back to having a cold and being poorly.

让它恢复到感冒和身体不好的状态。

So, let me have a look.

那么，让我看一下。

I'm just gonna bring my notes up to where I can see them.

我只是要把我的笔记带到我能看到的地方。

Okay, so how do you feel when you have a cold?

好吧，那么你感冒时感觉如何？

Well, for me, with this particular cold, I feel very congested.

嗯，对于我来说，这个特别的感冒，我感觉很堵。

Congested.

拥挤。

Congested is a word that you will hear related to health,

拥堵是一个你会听到的与健康有关的词，

but also related to traffic.

但也与交通有关。

This could be vehicle-based traffic or people traffic.

这可能是基于车辆的交通或人员交通。

So if there is a road or a walkway that's full and people can't really get to

因此，如果一条道路或人行道已满，人们无法真正到达

where they need to go because everyone's in the way, then that is congestion.

他们需要去的地方，因为每个人都挡道，那就是拥堵。

Oh, hang on, I can't breathe, huh.

哦，坚持住，我无法呼吸了，嗯。

So, if it's a busy time for the roads, like between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM when

因此，如果这是道路繁忙时间，例如下午 4:00 到下午 6:00 之间，

everyone's leaving work, that would be a time of congestion on the roads.

每个人都下班时，那将是道路拥堵的时间。

So, you wouldn't want to drive in Central London around five o'clock

所以，你不想

in the afternoon because there's going to be a lot of congestion.

在下午五点左右在伦敦市中心开车，因为那里会很拥堵。

You won't be able to move freely.

你将无法自由行动。

And if you are within a university building around the time when all

如果你在大学大楼内，而此时所有

the class is empty or when everyone's going to class, then there's

班级都是空的，或者每个人都去上课，那么就会

going to be lots of congestion.

出现严重拥堵。

Excuse me, I'm just going to wipe my nose.

对不起，我只是想擦擦鼻子。

Because my nose is running.

因为我的鼻子在流鼻涕。

We'll come back to that.

我们稍后会回来讨论这一点。

Oh it's a bit tickly now as well.

哦，现在也有点痒了。

Right.

正确的。

So, congestion, when we talk about congestion in our face, in our

所以，充血，当我们谈论我们的脸部、鼻子充血时

nose, we have a congested nose.

，我们的鼻子就充血了。

Then we're talking about our nose being blocked, our airway being blocked.

然后我们谈论我们的鼻子被堵塞，我们的呼吸道被堵塞。

We can't breathe easily through our nose because the airway is blocked,

我们无法通过鼻子轻松呼吸，因为气道被堵塞，

either because of inflammation or because there's a lot of mucus.

要么是因为炎症，要么是因为有大量粘液。

Now we tend to just talk about the mucus in a more gross way.

现在我们倾向于以更粗俗的方式谈论粘液。

We use the word snot more often.

我们更经常使用“鼻涕”这个词。

You could say, "I'm quite snotty."

你可以说：“我很势利。”

Oh, I'm quite snotty at the moment, although that feels to me like

哦，我现在很流鼻涕，尽管我觉得

that's a word that we use more with children than anything else.

这个词是我们在孩子身上用得最多的词。

So we rarely say the word mucus.

所以我们很少说“粘液”这个词。

That's the technical term.

这是技术术语。

We would use the word snotty, although you can say that someone is snotty

我们会使用“snotty”这个词，尽管你可以说某人“snotty”是

to refer to an unpleasant manner.

指一种不愉快的方式。

So if you always see me in the morning and we always say, "Hey, how are you?"

所以，如果你总是早上见到我，我们总是说：“嘿，你好吗？”

"I'm good, thanks.

“我很好，谢谢。

How are you?

你怎么样？

You going to work?"

"Yeah."

你要去上班吗？”

“是的。”

"Anything interesting happening today?"

“今天有什么有趣的事情发生吗？”

"No, not really."

“不，不是真的。”

"Oh, well it was lovely to see you."

“哦，好吧，很高兴见到你。”

"And you!"

“你呢！”

"Right.

Take care.

Bye."

“好的。

保重。

再见。”

But then one morning you arrive and I see you and I say, "What do you want?"

但有一天早上你来了，我看到你，我说：“你想要什么？”

"Oh, nothing.

“噢，没什么。

Are you okay?"

你还好吗？”

"Yeah, I'm fine.

“是的，我很好。

Just leave me alone.

别打扰我。

"All right, just, I'll just sit down here."

”“好吧，我就坐在这里。”

"Well, can you not sit next to me please?

“好吧，你能不要坐在我旁边吗？

I just need some space.

我只是需要一些空间。

Can you just go away?"

你能走开吗？”

"Okay, fine."

“好吧，好吧。”

Then that manner is very inappropriate.

那么这种方式就很不恰当了。

It's unpleasant, you could say, "Anna was a bit snotty this morning.

这令人不愉快，你可以说，“安娜今天早上有点流鼻涕。

Anna was quite snotty with me this morning."

安娜今天早上对我很流鼻涕。”

And that has nothing to do with mucus that has everything to

这与粘液无关，粘液

do with an unpleasant manner.

与不愉快的方式有关。

So, be careful how you use that word.

所以，要小心你如何使用这个词。

So, to be snotty, what we would normally say is, I'm congested.

所以，要流鼻涕，我们通常会说是，我很堵塞。

When I'm talking about the mucus in our nose, I'm quite congested.

当我谈论鼻子里的粘液时，我很堵塞。

Or you might say, I'm bunged up.

或者你可能会说，我很堵塞。

I feel quite bunged up.

我感觉很堵塞。

A bung.

一个塞子。

B-U-N-G.

塞子。

A bung is something that blocks a hole.

塞子是某种东西堵塞一个洞。

So if you have, for example, a plug is a kind of bung, you bung a plug into

所以，如果你有，例如，塞子是一种塞子，你可以将塞子塞进

the plug hole to stop the water going down the sink or out of the bathtub.

塞孔，以阻止水流进水槽或从浴缸流出。

So a bung, but we talk about being bunged up when we are congested in our

所以是塞子，但我们谈论当我们的鼻子堵塞时

nose, when mucus is preventing our air to flow freely through our airways.

，当粘液阻止我们的空气在呼吸道中自由流动时，就会被堵塞。

And right now I'm quite bunged up.

现在我很堵塞。

Particularly, in my sinuses.

特别是在我的鼻窦里。

So, your sinuses are the kind of air-filled cavities.

所以，你的鼻窦就是那种空气-充满了空洞。

I always think of them as little tubes, but they're cavities that run

我总是认为它们是小管子，但它们是

on either side of your nose and go under your eyes, kind of in that area.

在你鼻子两侧延伸到眼睛下方的空洞，就在那个区域。

So, when you are bunged up, you might get pain in your sinuses.

所以，当你被塞住时，你可能会感到疼痛在你的鼻窦里。

So, pain underneath the eyes, maybe more on one side than the

因此，眼睛下方疼痛，可能一侧比另一 侧更痛

other, or equally on both sides.

，或者两侧同样疼痛。

And that's quite a specific pain.

这是一种非常特殊的痛苦。

Sometimes you get an infection in your sinuses, so you might need to go

有时您的鼻窦受到感染，因此您可能需要去看

to the pharmacist or the doctor and say, "I've got a lot of pain in my

药剂师或医生并说：“我的鼻窦很痛

sinuses, or I feel quite congested, and my sinuses feel blocked."

，或者我感觉很充血，并且我的鼻窦感觉被堵塞。”

And then they will give you a decongestant, something to remove the

然后他们会给你一种减充血剂，可以消除充血

congestion, to take down inflammation and help to open up your airways again.

、减轻炎症并帮助再次打开你的呼吸道。

Or if you've got sinusitis, if you've got an infection in your sinuses,

或者，如果您患有鼻窦炎，如果您的鼻窦感染，

you'll need some stronger medicine to help reduce that infection.

您将需要一些更强效的药物来帮助减少感染。

Okay, so if you do have congestion, your nose is blocked, then you

好吧，如果你确实有鼻塞，你的鼻子被堵住了，那么你

might be sniffing quite a lot.

可能会经常吸鼻子。

That's a sniff.

那是一个嗅觉。

Also, this is a sniff, so you might sniff a flower.

另外，这是嗅，所以你可能会闻一朵花。

Or I might sniff myself.

或者我可能会闻自己。

Oh, I smell quite bad.

哦，我闻起来很臭。

I think I need to put on some deodorant.

我想我需要涂一些除臭剂。

Oh, ugh, woo-fee!

哦，呃，呜费！

I don't smell bad, at least I don't think I smell bad.

我不臭，至少我不认为我臭。

I can't smell anything.

我什么也闻不到。

I've lost my sense of smell because I'm so bunged up.

我已经失去了嗅觉，因为我太困了。

But we sniff things, to sniff is the same as to smell, but sniff describes

但我们会嗅东西，嗅和闻是一样的，但嗅

more the action, the short, sharp...

更多的是描述动作，短促、尖锐……

We sniff when we cry as well, don't we?

我们哭的时候也会嗅，不是吗？

When we're upset, you might just hear someone sniffling.

当我们心烦意乱时，你可能只会听到有人抽鼻子。

Whimpering and sniffling.

呜咽和抽鼻子。

So we play with this word a lot to sniff, to have the sniffles, to be sniffly.

所以我们经常用这个词来嗅、嗅、嗅。

Sometimes you might hear snuffly, have the snuffles.

有时你可能会听到鼻息声，有鼻息声。

It's very unusual, but it just means that you are doing this quite a lot.

这很不寻常，但这只是意味着你经常这样做。

I'm a bit sniffly and I'm sneezing a lot as well.

我有点流鼻涕，而且打喷嚏也很多。

To sneeze.

打喷嚏。

Now, if you should, if you sneeze, you should use a hanky or a tissue,

现在，如果你应该打喷嚏，你应该使用手帕或纸巾，

and with that hanky or tissue you are going to wipe or blow your nose.

然后用手帕或纸巾擦或擤鼻子。

If you wipe your nose a lot, if you blow your nose a lot, then you can often

如果你经常擦鼻子、擤鼻子，那么经常会

aggravate the skin around the nose.

加重鼻子周围的皮肤问题。

So sometimes you get a very red sore nose from all the sniffing and wiping

所以有时你会因为嗅、擦、

and blowing and it helps to put Vaseline on your skin, around your nose to

擤鼻子而感到非常红痛，这有助于在你鼻子周围的皮肤上涂抹凡士林，顺便

protect these little holes in your nose by the way, are called nostrils.

保护鼻子上的这些小孔，这些小孔被称为鼻孔。

So you have two nostrils.

所以你有两个鼻孔。

So yes, we blow our nose and funnily enough, my eldest son

所以，是的，我们擤鼻子，有趣的是，我的大儿子

Jacob cannot blow his nose.

雅各布不能擤鼻子。

He hasn't yet worked out the skill of blowing your nose.

他还没有学会擤鼻涕的技巧。

He doesn't know how to blow air down one nostril, while holding the other

他不知道如何将空气吹入一个鼻孔，同时按住另一个鼻孔

You can also see when you look in the mirror that your

当你感觉自己的喉咙后部被割断时，就像有人抓伤

a sore throat, I get these little swellings always in the same place,

，我总是在同一个地方出现这些小肿胀，

just little lumps, and it really hurts.

只是小肿块，真的很痛。

And so I think perhaps that's tonsil tissue, but I don't know.

所以我想这可能是扁桃体组织，但我不知道。

I'm not a doctor.

我不是医生。

So if you do have swollen tonsils, you may have tonsillitis,

因此，如果您的扁桃体确实肿胀，则可能患有扁桃体炎，

which can lead to laryngitis.

从而导致喉炎。

It could lead to you losing your voice and getting laryngitis, which is an

especially if it involves a cough.

swell, which impacts your voice.

on your chest, feeling like there's a weight on your chest.

You might say, I've got a chesty cough.

你可能会说，我有胸闷咳嗽。

I don't know if you could hear that difference.

You're just coughing.

或者你可能会说，我咳痰了。

If your cough produces mucus.

如果咳嗽产生粘液。

Which is a bit gross.

Also, phlegm has got a really unusual spelling, if I'm correct, it's

另外，痰的拼写非常不寻常，如果我没记错的话，它被

spelled P-H-L-E-G-M, when really it should just be spelled F-L-E-M.

拼写为 PHLEGM，而实际上它应该被拼写为 FLEM。

That would be sensible, wouldn't it?

这很明智，不是吗？

But no, a lot of medical terms are quite difficult to write, so you might

但不是，很多医学术语都相当难写，所以你可能会

have a mucusy cough or a phlegmy cough, and some people will have a wheeze.

出现粘液性咳嗽或痰咳，有的人还会出现喘息的情况。

Or a wheezy cough to wheeze is this kind of extended escape of air sound.

或者喘息咳嗽到喘息就是这种长时间逸出空气的声音。

It sounds like this...

听起来像这样......

So, if you're coughing...

所以，如果你咳嗽......

Yeah.

Oh gosh. That's made me lightheaded.

Woo.

尝试抑制咳嗽。

You might try and swallow the tickle.

你可以尝试吞下痒痒的东西。

Hang on.

不挂断。

I just need to have a drink of water because I've got a tickle.

我只需要喝点水，因为我有点痒。

But if you suppress that cough for too long.

you've suppressed it, suppressed it, suppressed it, and then it just explodes

你一直抑制它，抑制它，抑制它，然后它就会爆发，

and people often go red, I start sweating and you're just coughing uncontrollably.

人们经常会脸红，我开始出汗，而你只是无法控制地咳嗽。

那是咳嗽。

A fit in medical terms is usually a spasm or what's the word?

A seizure.

癫痫发作。

A seizure, it came to me a seizure.

癫痫发作，对我来说是癫痫发作。

So in medical terms, a fit would be a seizure.

所以从医学角度来说，痉挛就是癫痫发作。

So if you say I had a fit in medical terms, you'd often hear I had a seizure.

因此，如果你用医学术语说我患有痉挛，你经常会听到我癫痫发作。

You wouldn't say I had a coughing seizure, because it's not really a seizure,

你不会说我咳嗽癫痫发作，因为这并不是真正的癫痫发作，

it's just uncontrollable coughing.

只是无法控制的咳嗽。

So we'd say a coughing fit.
