- 1流感（流行性感冒）
Influenza is the illness people usually call the flu: an infectious disease that hits you harder than a common cold. Typical signs are fever, body , a dry cough, and feeling too weak to get out of bed. It spreads through coughs and sneezes, and it can be dangerous for older people, babies, and anyone already . In everyday English almost everyone says flu; influenza is the formal, medical, and news name — the one on vaccine posters and hospital charts. Though actually, people mix flu and a cold all the time. A cold is milder and usually has no high fever; influenza tends to knock you down. Flu season is winter in many places. The English name was borrowed from Italian influenza, which first meant “influence”: people once blamed outbreaks on the influence of the stars. That is why influenza and influence are — two words from the same Latin source that grew apart.
組成Borrowed from Italian influenza (“influence”), from Latin influentia. Doublet of influence. The disease sense is a later narrowing of that old “influence” meaning.
