原文及翻譯
Flu season occurs only in countries that have cold weather in the winter. Although the influenza virus is alive throughout the world in all four seasons, it seems to have its greatest impact on humans during the winter.
流感季節(jié)只發(fā)生在冬季寒冷的國家。盡管流感病毒在全世界四季都存在，但它似乎在冬季對人類的影響最大。
Scientists are not sure why. They think it's because in the winter, people are indoors and close together for longer periods of time. Also, the virus might be able to live longer and be stronger in colder weather. Finally, indoor air can dry up the mucus that helps protect people from the virus.
科學(xué)家們不確定原因。他們認(rèn)為這是因為在冬天，人們在室內(nèi)呆的時間更長，而且彼此靠得很近。此外，病毒在寒冷的天氣里可能存活時間更長，而且更強大。最后，室內(nèi)空氣會使有助于保護人們免受病毒侵害的粘液變干。
In the US, the virus is not something to sneeze at. It kills about 36,000 people annually, most of them elderly. It also causes almost 250,000 people to end up in a hospital bed annually.
在美國，這種病毒并不是什么值得一提的東西。它每年導(dǎo)致約 36,000 人死亡，其中大多數(shù)是老年人。它還導(dǎo)致每年近 250,000 人最終住院。
