“鼻塞”用英语怎么说?

最近大家身体如何?身边很多朋友都不幸变成了“小羊”,还没有加入“羊群”的朋友们一定要做好防护,毕竟有些症状还是比较难受的。

有些朋友开玩笑说,每天醒来都在“复习”旧症状,解锁新症状。如果已经退烧,可能又会出现鼻塞咳嗽等症状,同样也是不太好受。现在突然出现了一个新的词语“水泥鼻”,用来形容完全通不了气的鼻子。那么,你知道“鼻塞”用英语怎么说吗?

stuffy nose 鼻塞

“stuffy”是指“(鼻子)不通气的,堵塞的”。

If your nose is stuffy or you have a stuffy nose, your nose is blocked with mucus, usually because you have a cold.

如果鼻子不通气或者鼻塞,可能是因为粘液堵塞,通常是因为感冒了。

“stuffy”还可以用来形容房间或者建筑物,闷的,通风不畅的。

a stuffy office

空气污浊的办公室

It's really hot and stuffy in here - let's open the window.

这里又热又闷——我们把窗户打开吧。

它还可以形容人,表示“古板的,保守的,一本正经的”。

She is trying to promote a less stuffy image of librarians.

他在努力提升图书管理员的形象,想使之显得不那么古板。

如果是“流鼻涕”,也有一个很形象的表达“runny nose”。

When seasons change , a lot of people suffer of runny nose and other common allergy symptoms , why is it?

当季节变换时,很多人都会出现流鼻涕等常见的过敏症状,这是为什么呢?
