Health & Sickness 健康与疾病 (2)
If you have a minor ailment like a headache, you can take some aspirin to relieve the pain (reduce the effects of the pain). If you suffer from a chronic condition (a condition that continues for a long time) like allergies, asthma, back pain, or depression, there are both over-the-counter and prescription medications that can help alleviate the symptoms (an over-the-counter medication is one that you can buy without a doctor’s prescription). 如果你有像头痛这样的小病，你可以吃一些阿司匹林来缓解疼痛（减少疼痛的影响）。如果你受慢性疾病的折磨（一种持续很长时间的疾病），如过敏、哮喘、背痛或抑郁症，有非处方药和处方药可以帮助缓解症状（非处方药是指无需医生处方即可购买的药物）。
When someone has a minor respiratory infection, we say they have a cold. Don’t get too close to that person, because you could catch a cold, too! You can “catch” other types of contagious diseases as well – such as sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). 当某人有轻微的呼吸道感染时，我们说他感冒了。不要和那个人走得太近，因为这样你也会感冒的！你也会“染上”其他类型的传染病——比如性传播疾病（STDs）。
