Vitamin C won't stop a cold. It is said that Vitamin C works by increasing white blood cells.
However, many tests have shown that it does not prevent colds. At best, it only reduces the time of symptoms.

阅读快车系列答案Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When he wanted to steal (偷) the bell on his neighbor’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of (抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home.
