Hi everyone and welcome to today's podcast.
Today we're going to learn four expressions to talk about when we are feeling sick,
Let's listen to the dialogue:
A: Hey Brian, how are you doing?
B: Not so great, I don’t feel very well.
A: Oh? What’s wrong?
B: I’ve got a headache and my nose is blocking up.
A: Really? Me too! I think I’m coming down with something.
B: Yeah, I think there’s something going around.
1. 不舒服
不要说: I’m uncomfortable (uncomfortable 指的是因为环境引起的不舒服:比如说,because my bed is too hard, or because the people around me are not very nice. Then I can feel uncomfortable.)
正确说法: I don’t feel very well / I feel sick
2. 怎么了? 有什么问题?
不要说: What’s wrong with you 语气抓不准会被理解为 "你有病吗?!" 的骂人话
正确说法: What’s wrong? What’s the matter?
3. 我可能病了
I think I’m coming down with something
这里的 something = 病,特别是感冒之类的,当你开始不舒服可以这样说
4. 现在有病毒/流感传染
There’s something going around
这里的 something = 病毒,特别是流感,当你发现身边很多人都感冒了可以这样说
