sniffle(动词/名词):(因感冒、哭泣等)抽鼻子、吸鼻涕;也可指抽鼻子的声音/动作。(另有较少见用法指轻微哭哭啼啼的样子。)
/ˈsnɪfəl/

As the sad scene ended, you could hear sniffles in the quiet theater, reminding everyone how deeply the story had moved them.
悲伤的场景结束时,安静的影院里能听到一阵阵抽鼻子的声音,提醒着大家这故事有多么打动人心。
sniffle通常被认为是从 sniff(嗅、吸气)派生出来的拟声/动作词,通过加上表示反复或轻微动作的词尾变化,形成“反复小声吸鼻子”的感觉,常与感冒或哭泣相关。
