中国男子每天闻臭袜子，结果生病住院！外媒都震惊了...

A Man in China Hospitalised After Sniffing His Own Socks Every Day.

中国一名男子因每天闻自己的袜子而入院。

Everybody has their own weird, idiosyncratic habits that probably don't make sense to anybody else, but one Chinese man's tendency for personal daily weirdness turned out to be a serious danger to his health.

每个人都有着他人可能无法理解的特殊癖好，但是有一位中国男子却因为怪癖而对自己的健康造成了严重的危害。

The man in question, a 37-year-old named Peng in reports, had apparently developed a strange custom of sniffing his worn, dirty socks every day after he finished work.

报道中的这名37岁的男子姓彭，他已经养成了每天完成工作后都要嗅他的又脏又臭的袜子习惯了。

Peng ended up being admitted to hospital with a serious bout of chest pains, feeling tightness in his chest while breathing, and also coughing.

然后，彭先生呼吸时感到胸部发紧，还咳嗽。最终因为严重的胸痛被送进了医院。

Doctors treated the patient for a suspected case of pneumonia, but after the symptoms continued – with no improvement in his condition – further examinations by doctors revealed Peng had developed a serious fungal infection in his lungs.

医生把他诊为不明原因肺炎病例来进行治疗，但是之后他的病情却没有得到好转，症状也还是有。于是医生对他进行进一步的检查，发现彭先生的肺部有严重的真菌感染。

It was only later when doctors re-interviewed Peng that they found out about his daily sock-sniffing ritual, and realised his diagnosis of pulmonary fungal disease could have been caused by inhaling fungal spores embedded in the dank fibres of his dirty socks.

后来，医生对彭先生复查的时候，才发现了他每天闻袜子的习惯。于是马上意识到彭先生的肺部真菌感染可能就是因为吸入了埋在他脏袜子潮湿纤维中的真菌孢子造成的。

Once the infection was diagnosed, Peng was hospitalised and treated for the condition. Fortunately, the sock-sniffer is expected to make a full recovery.

确诊后，随即，彭先生就被送进医院治疗了。幸运的是，这个“袜子嗅探器”有望完全恢复。

After media reports of the infection went viral on Chinese social site Weibo, it became clear that Peng isn't the only one with a perverse predisposition to sock sniffing.

在这篇资讯报道在中国的社交网站微博迅速传播之后，人们发现其实有这个闻袜子倾向的人不止彭先生一个。

"Oh, no! Maybe I should stop sniffing my socks after wearing them for an entire day!" one user commented.“

噢，不！我应该停止去闻我的那个穿了一天的袜子！”一个用户评论道。

It sounds like a great idea.

这个点子听起来还不错。
