请看《中国日报》的报道：

         The Ministry of Health warned that cases of hand-foot-mouth disease (HFMD) will possibly increase in the following months since June and July are the peak seasons for the disease.

        卫生部发出预警信息表示，今后几个月手足口病的发病数量将有所增加，6、7月份为该病高发期。

         HFMD, characterized by fever, sores in the mouth and rashes on hands and feet, is not a new infection and is common among infants and children, experts say. It can be triggered by various viruses and usually does not lead to death.

        专家表示，手足口病是婴儿和儿童常见的一种疾病，典型的症状有：发热，口腔溃疡，以及手足疱疹等。有多种病毒可导致手足口病，一般不会致死。

        该报道中，hand-foot-mouth disease 就是“手足口病”，英文报道中常用HFMD来简称此病。与其相关的表达有：sores in the mouth（口腔溃疡），rashes on hands and feet（手足疱疹），slight fever（低烧），blister（水泡）等， 相关英文报道中的mouth ulcers 也是“口腔溃疡”的意思。
