英语热词：得没得过“男士感冒”？（在线收听） |
When a man gets a cold, everything shuts down. He’s on the couch in misery -- unwilling to do anything (even go to the doctor). But a woman with a cold just bucks up and goes on about her day. 男士得了感冒，就什么都不想做。他痛苦地坐在沙发上，不想做任何事(甚至包括去看医生)。但如果女士得了感冒，她会打起精神，该干啥干啥。
Man flu is the condition shared by all males wherein a common illness (usually a mild cold) is presented by the patient as life-threatening.
“男士感冒”指的是男士把患上的常见疾病(通常是轻微感冒)说得跟得了严重的大病一样，几乎所有的男士都有这种情况。

当患病者是你的男友，他的表现会很常见(比如特别希望得到同情)，但同时又会拒绝你对他所有的安慰。
