bacterial infection/ 细菌感染/ (xìjūn ɡǎnrǎn)

A: I heard that you were sick with fever, do you feel better n0w?

听说你生病发烧了,感觉好点了吗?

(tīnɡshuō nǐ shēnɡbìnɡ fāshāo le, ɡǎnjué hǎodiǎn le ma?)

B: Yup. I have no idea what happened.

是的,我也不知道是怎么回事。

(shìde, wǒyě bùzhīdào shì zěnme huíshì.)

A: Did you know that recently a female star got a bacterial infection from drinking coffee. She had symptoms of a fever at the same time. Some netizens said that it was because the coffee machine and the ice maker weren't cleaned and that lead to the growth of bacteria.

你知道最近有一个女明星因为喝咖啡而导致细菌感染,同时伴有发烧的症状。有网友说是因为咖啡机和制冰机不及时清洗,里面滋生细菌导致的。

B: It seems that you have to pay attention to food hygiene. Sickness comes from what we eat. 

看来饮食卫生真的要注意,病从口入啊。

(kànlái yǐnshí wèishēnɡ zhēnde yào zhùyì, bìnɡcónɡkǒurù ā.)

A: Expert analysis also says that there is a problem with some food shops not meeting bacterial standards, especially using unclean water to make ice cubes. It is really easy to not meet bacterial standards then. So be careful when eating out.

也有专家分析一些食品店都存在细菌超标问题,特别是不洁净的水做的冰块,很容易细菌超标。出去吃饭要注意。
