B: My hay fever is acting up. My nose won't stop running and I keep tearing up.

我最近又犯了过敏性鼻炎,控制不住的流眼泪,流鼻涕。

我能理解你的痛苦,我也很容易过敏。

B: About 40% percent of people around the globe are bothered by allergies, respiratory allergies, skin, eye allergies and such. No matter what you eat, where you go, what you do, you have to be careful because of your allergies. 

全世界约四成人受过敏困扰。呼吸系统过敏,皮肤,眼睛过敏等等。无论吃什么,去哪里,做什么,都要小心谨慎,只因为容易过敏。

A: Allergies are caused by antigens that people are allergic to. There are traces of them in the air, food and daily use items. It seems they are everywhere. It causes their pains very much.  

过敏原是使人过敏的抗原,空气,食物,日用品中都有它们的踪影,几乎无处不在。这常常让他们很痛苦。
