Question

symptom n.症状；征兆 (1) 抽烟会加重感冒症状。(2) 医生研究病人的症状后, 作出诊断。(3) 发烧是许多疾病的症兆。 Don't confuse the symptom with the cause. Even when the symptom is worse than the cause, don't be tempted to confuse them. Fever, sneezing, achiness: all of these are symptom of a cold. But they are not the cold. They are symptoms of it. Relationship experts argue over whether "cheating” is the cause of unhappiness or the symptom. In other words, do people think about breaking up because of cheating, or do they cheat because they're thinking about breaking up.
