Jim: Argh...I feel terrible, I keep sneezing and my eyes are all watery, what's wrong with me? 啊，我感觉很糟糕，我一直在打喷嚏，眼睛也泪汪汪的，我怎么了？

Tom: Wow, you're not dying are you, it looks like you have a cold, you should take some medicine. 哇，你有没有怎么样，看上去你只是感冒了，你应该吃点药。

Jim: I don't think it's a cold, I feel fine if I move a few feet away from my desk. 我不觉得这是感冒，我感觉如果我离开桌边我会好些。

Tom: Maybe we should put you into quarantine, ha ha, jokes aside, I think you might have an allergy. 我觉得你应该被隔离起来，哈哈，说着玩呢。我想你可能是过敏了。

Jim: An allergy? I never thought about that, I don't think I'm allergic to pollen though and I'm desensitized to bee stings after being stung so many times, Hmm. . . 过敏？我没有想过这个，尽管我被蜜蜂叮过很多次，可是我对蜜蜂已经没有感觉了，我应该对花粉不过过敏的。
