    「flu」是英文裡日常說的「流感」，完整正式名是 influenza，但對話幾乎都說 flu。它比 cold（感冒）更讓人疲倦、全身無力，常伴隨喉嚨痛、咳嗽、流鼻水。常見說法：have / get / catch (the) flu、in bed with flu、flu shot。怎麼想 flu？可以想成 influenza 的短名字——短、好說，意思一樣是那種讓人想躺床休息的病。

core核心畫面

Picture the illness that you: not just a runny nose, but all over, no strength, wanting only to lie down. It comes round in every year, which is why English talks about a flu season.

可以想成：那種讓人整個垮掉的病——不只是流鼻水，而是全身痠痛、沒有力氣、只想躺著。它每年會一波一波回來，所以英文才有 flu season（流感季）這個說法。
