   台湾籍旅美老师今天交给我们的句子是:

  It's a pretty common trope that a cold or the flu doesn't really affect women as much as it does men. There's even kind of a pejorative1 name for it, "the man flu", which implies that men are just being babies. Now, of course this is a crazy exaggeration… being sick sucks for everyone... except… studies have shown this difference in experience may have a hint of truth to it.
  社会上有个很普遍的说法是:女人得到的感冒或流感没有男人得到的严重。甚至还有一种贬抑的称法,把感冒叫做:"男流感",言下之意就是男人只是在装可怜。当然这是种很荒谬夸张的说法。每个人生病都不会好过。但有研究显示,这些感受上的差异多多少少有它事实上的根据。
  男士感冒
