“北京咳”英語怎么說

　　名詞解釋：北京咳(Beijing Cough)，是居住在北京人易患的一種呼吸道癥候，主要表現(xiàn)為咽癢干咳， 這一現(xiàn)象由嚴重的空氣污染造成。你知道怎么用英語表達嗎?

　　Beijing cough was to describe about of persistent dry cough or throat tickle because of Beijing's poor air quality. It has become common thanks to the recent smog and haze that smothered Beijing and left an increasing number of Chinese and expatriates suffering intense bouts of coughing.

　　The symptoms are said to disappear once people leave Beijing.

　　Experts say dry coughing can be caused by smoking, overeating, bad weather and/or air pollution. The term is yet to enter a medial lexicon, and some people don't want it to because they say it is derogatory to Beijing and its residents.

　　“北京咳”用于描述由于北京較差的空氣質(zhì)量而導致的長期咽癢干咳。由于北京最近的霧霾天氣，患上嚴重咳嗽的中國人和外國人也越來越多。“北京咳”因此流行起來。但據(jù)說，一旦你離開了北京，癥狀就會消失。

　　專家表示，導致干咳的原因有吸煙、暴食、糟糕的天氣和空氣污染。有些人并不希望將這個詞收錄到常用詞典中，因為他們覺得這個詞貶損了北京以及北京的居民。

　　【講解】

　　“Beijing cough”解釋為“北京咳”，是老百姓、特別是外國人的一種說法，并不是一個醫(yī)學名詞和學術(shù)概念。相似的表達還有：德里肚(Delhi Belly，一種痢疾性感染，表現(xiàn)為急性腹瀉)、羅馬燒(Roman Fever，一種類似肺炎與瘧疾的傳染病)。
