Li: So what is man flu, then?
Jen: In English, when a man gets a minor cold or perhaps a sore throat, many women refer to it as man flu.
Li: 当一个男人得了小感冒或喉咙痛,人们说这是男性流感。Why?
Jen: Well, lots of men tend to exaggerate their symptoms when they have a minor illness; in other words, they make it sound worse than it is.
Li: I see! 原来老板告诉我 Neil 得了男性感冒的时候,她的意思是说 Neil 其实是小感冒,但夸大了他的病症。
Jen: Thats right!
Li: Well, I want to talk to him. 我得给他打电话,这么点儿小毛病就不想上班了,那像什么话?
Jen: Oh dear...
Phone rings
Li: Hello Neil, yes, Ive heard youre very sick... Yes, yes, its terrible. I just wanted to let you know that were having a party in the office tonight, and Im going to bring some lovely food and cakes for everyone. Its a shame you cant come because youre too sick... Oh really... OK then!
Li puts phone down
Li: 他说他一会儿就来上班。
Jen: Why did you tell him were having a party?
Li: I thought if I told him there was going to be food and cakes that he might decide to come into work, after all!
