Arthur's Big Sneeze

Arthur’s Big Sneeze

亚瑟的大喷嚏

" Ah-choo! ” Arthur sneezed loudly into his hands. “ Arthur, don’t you have a tissue? Please sneeze into your arm, not your hands, ” Mrs. MacPhee said. “ Why?” Arthur asked. He held up his hands and wiggled his fingers. “ I can catch the sneeze droplets better with my hands. ”

“啊欠!”阿瑟对着双手大声打了个喷嚏。 “亚瑟，你没有纸巾吗?”请对着你的手臂打喷嚏，而不是你的手，”麦克菲太太说。 “为什么?”亚瑟问。他举起双手，摆动着手指。“我用手可以更好地捕捉喷嚏飞沫。”

“ Cold germs spread very easily ― especially after a sneeze, ” the teacher said. “ Every time you touch something, you could spread your cold germs. ” “ Eww! ” Sarah said, leaning away from Arthur. “ Rhinoviruses are the most common cold viruses, ” Mrs. MacPhee said.

这位老师说:“感冒细菌很容易传播，尤其是打喷嚏之后。” “每次你接触什么东西，你就可能传播感冒细菌。” ”哎哟!”莎拉说，身子从阿瑟旁挪开。 “鼻病毒是最常见的感冒病毒，”麦克菲夫人说。

“ They can live for up to 24 hours outside of the body. They can even live on things like computer keyboards and doorknobs. ” “ So if I use the computer after Arthur, I might get a cold too?” Sarah asked. The teacher nodded. “ Even hours after Arthur used it. ” “ ‘Rhinovirus’ sounds like ‘rhinoceros! ’” Cody said.

“它们可以在体外存活长达24小时。它们甚至可以生活在电脑键盘和门把手等东西上。” “所以如果我在亚瑟之后用电脑，我也可能会感冒?”萨拉问。 老师点点头。“甚至在阿瑟用过几小时之后。” “‘犀牛病毒’听起来像‘犀牛!’”科迪说。

The teacher laughed. “ The word ‘rhinovirus’comes from the Greek word for ‘nose. ’” “ I’ve had four colds already this winter, ” Sarah complained. “ Most children get eight to twelve colds a year, ” the teacher explained.

老师笑了。“‘鼻病毒’这个词来自希腊语‘鼻子’。” “今年冬天我已经感冒四次了，”萨拉抱怨道。 “大多数孩子一年得八到十二次感冒，”老师解释说。

“ There are over two hundred different viruses that cause the common cold. Adults get only two to four colds each year. That’s because they’ve already been exposed to many of the viruses. ” Cody put up his hand. “ I read that sneeze droplets can travel almost two meters. ” Sarah frowned. “ That’s disgusting. ”

“引起普通感冒的病毒有200多种。 成年人每年只患两到四次感冒。这是因为他们已经接触了很多病毒。” 科迪举起了手。“我读到过，打喷嚏的飞沫可以传播近两米。” 莎拉皱起了眉头。“好恶心。”
