have the sniffles 感冒流鼻涕

在口头对话中，英国人用 “the sniffles” 特指 “不断流鼻涕、吸鼻子” 的轻微感冒症状，也用它泛指 “小感冒”。

 

如果想描述一个人有 “感冒流鼻涕” 的症状，即可以说：have the sniffles、have got¹ the sniffles 或 have a case of the sniffles。

 

例句

You can't go to doctors for that. You only have the sniffles.

你不能因为这点小病就去看医生。你只是流鼻涕罢了。

 

I can't come to work today. I have the sniffles.

我今天不能来上班了。我感冒流鼻涕。

 

You have been sneezing² a lot today. Have you got the sniffles?

你今天一直在打喷嚏。你感冒了吗？
