The Chinese word for rheumatoid arthritis, "fengshi," literally translates to "wind wet.”
中文里把類風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎叫做“風(fēng)濕”，字面翻成“wind wet”
rheumatoid arthritis類風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎
可以簡寫為RA。
Bad rheumatoid arthritis deforms limbs.
嚴(yán)重的類風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎會造成四肢變形。
If you don’t put long johns on, you will have rheumatoid arthritis.
如果你不穿上秋褲，你就會得類風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎。
Some people are more predisposed to rheumatoid arthritis. If you are healthy, you can be less rigorousin following these guidelines. But if you’re unhealthy at a young age, you’re more at risk of developing arthritis in the future.
有一部分人很容易得類風(fēng)濕性關(guān)節(jié)炎。如果你很健康，你可以不必那么嚴(yán)格地去遵守這些指導(dǎo)。但如果你年紀(jì)輕輕就不健康，那將來你有很大的風(fēng)險會發(fā)展出關(guān)節(jié)炎。
predispose使易于患(某種病)
Fatigue predispose to colds.

But not everyone residing in chilly areas immediately reaches for the long johns. In the West, protecting the torso, rather than the bottom limbs is seen as more important. Westerners ate more protein and drank more dairy than their Eastern counterparts. This has had an impact on their bodies. Perhaps it’sbecause of this, they don’t have to wear qiuku.
但不是每個居住在寒冷地區(qū)的人一冷就會去拿秋褲來穿。在西方，相較于下肢的保護，更重視對軀干的保暖。西方人比東方人會攝入更多的蛋白質(zhì)，飲用更多的乳制品。這已經(jīng)對他們的身體起到了影響。也許正因如此，他們不需要穿秋褲。
reach for伸手拿東西
There was no time for me to reach for my gun.

westerners and eastern counterparts西方人和東方人
western指的是西方的，而-er是我們熟悉的代表“人”的后綴，所以westerner指的就是西方人。為了避免重復(fù)，東方人沒有采用easterner的說法，而是用了counterpart來代表“與之相對的一方”，即eastern counterparts。
have an impact on對……有影響，造成沖擊
Does it have an impact on your life.
對于你的生活到底有多大影響?
Your word has a great impact on me.
你的話對我產(chǎn)生了重大影響。
Q：既然穿秋褲有利于我們對關(guān)節(jié)的保護，為啥就算寒冷的雨水在腿上冷冷地拍，我們還是不喜歡穿秋褲呢?
