⭐2⭐

have/run a high fever 发高烧

have/run a low-grade fever 发低烧

have/run a slight fever 发低烧

have/run a mid-grade fever 发中烧

【说明】

1. 低热（低烧），指腋温为37.5℃~38℃、中度热（中烧）38.1～39℃、高热（高烧）39.1℃以上。

2.“高烧”可以说high fever，但“低烧”一般不直接说low fever(虽然很好理解)，一般都说low-grade fever。

你去必应搜索low fever，出来的也都是low-grade fever，如下图：

【例句】

She's complaining of chest pains, shortness of breath, and she has a high fever.

她说胸痛，呼吸急促，还有高烧。

⭐3⭐

have/run a temperature /ˈtemprətʃər/

发烧

【解释】

1. If you are running a temperature or if you have a temperature, your temperature is higher than it should be. 发烧

2. 可以用a (high) temperature表示发(高)烧，但不用a low temperature表示“发低烧”，因为a low body temperature指的是体温低于正常值，英语叫：

Hypothermia/ˌhaɪpəˈθɜːrmiə/（低温症）

If someone has hypothermia, their body temperature has become dangerously low as a result of being in severe cold for a long time.

【例句】

I think I've started running a temperature. Maybe I should go lie down.

我感觉我已经开始发烧了。也许我该去躺下。

He began to run an extremely high temperature.

他开始发严重高烧。
