美国流行笑话：The Eighth Symptom 第八个症状

131　The Eighth Symptom 第八个症状

Hypochondriac that I am, I constantly log on to the Internet to self-diagnose my latest ailment. But even I knew it was time to lighten up the day I typed in the key words liver disorders. That led me to a medical site. With growing alarm I realized I had each of the first seven symptoms. Then I came to No. 8 and suddenly felt much better: “Feeling of lethargy. No longer enjoys romping and wagging tail.”

我患有忧郁症，经常登录到网上去自我诊断我最近的疾病。尽管知道应该乐观起来了，我还是键入了关键词“肝脏失常”。它把我带进一个医学网站。当看到头七个症状我全有的时候，我越来越紧张。当看到第八个症状的时候，我突然觉得好多了：“没精打采、不再喜爱玩闹和摇尾巴。”
