(after the initial symptoms)这倒没什么;这可不算什么 Explanation: a breeze (something easy) informal = something which is easy to achieve, often unexpectedly eg You won't have any problems with the entrance test, it's an absolute breeze. 'The disease itself is a breeze, after (experiencing) the initial symptoms.' -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs 53 mins (2003-12-04 03:41:50 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Actually, it means the fully developed disease is \'nothing to worry about\'or \'plain sailing\' compared to the terrible initial symptoms. Note: the tone is ironic. 反语 Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary |
