When sitting in a quiet theatre or a packed train, stifling a sneeze by holding the nose and closing the mouth may seem like the courteous option. 当你坐在安静的剧院或拥挤的列车上时，用捂鼻子或紧闭嘴巴的方法把喷嚏憋回去似乎是个有礼貌的选择。 But doctors have warned against the polite practice, after a man ruptured the back of his throat while trying to contain the convulsive explosion of air. 但是医生警告大家不要采取这种礼貌做法，因为有一名男子正是因为试图把喷嚏憋回去而撕裂了喉咙内侧。 The 34-year-old was admitted to hospital barely able to swallow or speak after pinching his nose and clamping shut his mouth to stop a sneeze. 这名34岁的男子用捏鼻子和紧闭嘴巴的方式止住喷嚏后，在就医时几乎无法吞咽或说话。 |
