【听力原文】
W: Have you ever heard of the term—man flu?
M: Nope.
W: Man flu is the tendency that men complain about a minor illness, such as a cold or flu, and act as they were suffering from something a lot more serious.
M: But science cannot say whether men do actually suffer more than women, or if men just tend to complain more.
W: Well, there was already a lot of evidence from existing studies, suggesting men experience worse, longer-lasting symptoms. It seems that the higher the testosterone levels, the lower the immune response to infections, whereas the higher the estrogen level, the stronger the immune response.
M: So man flu is real?
W: Hold your horses, basically these results are only suggestive and not definitive. More studies need to be done.
