词语用法

1. sick和ill的比较：两者意思相近，前者常指遭受某种身体上的不适，后者表示不舒服的。英国人习惯将sick用作定语，修饰名词，如sick child。而ill则常被用作定语，去修饰动词。

   George didn't come in last week because he was ill.

2. be sick作“呕吐的”解。 fall sick作“患病”解；

   I was sick three times in the night.
   我一晚上呕吐了三次。

3. 在美式英语里，通常将sick用在身体某部分的名称前面，如sick kidneys，sick nerves和sick hair；
4. sick可表示“渴望……的”，而sick of则表示“对……感到厌倦的”。

   Allen has got sick of city life,and is now sick for his home in the country.

5. 在现代英语里，sick与with连用，后面加病名，而不用介词of，如：sick with fever sick；
6. a sick child指“一个有病的孩子”，但只是暂时或经常有病的，如a little sick child是“经常有病的”，而a sick little child是“暂时有病的”。不同的是，a sickly child指“一个多病的孩子”，表示很容易生病。

adj. (形容词)

1. sick的基本意思是“有病的”,在英式英语中只用作表语,而在美式英语中则既可用作表语,也可用作定语,常用于修饰人,偶尔也用于修饰事物如sick leave(病假)。
2. sick有时可指与“呕吐”有关的具体症状,如“恶心的,想吐的”。用于比喻可指“讨厌的”“渴望的”“心烦意乱的,恼火的”等。作“腻烦的,厌恶的”解时,常后接介词of。
3. sick不受heavily修饰,表示“病重”,可用seriously。
4. sick的比较级是sicker,最高级是sickest。

n. (名词)

1. sick用作名词的基本意思是“呕吐物”,一般用于口语中,是不可数名词。
2. sick前常加定冠词the表示“病人”,为总称,在句中作主语时,其谓语动词通常用复数形式。

词义辨析

adj. (形容词)

sick at, sick for, sick of, sick with

• 这四个短语意思不同：sick at表示“对某事感到懊丧或不高兴”,相当于sick about 。sick for表示“渴望,盼望”,相当于eager for。sick of表示“对某人或某人做某事感到厌恶或不耐烦”,相当于tired of。sick with意思有三：一是“因…呕吐”,相当于sick from; 二是“患…病”,相当于sick of; 三是“对…懊丧或不高兴”,相当于sick about。

sick, ill

• 这两个词的共同意思是“生病的”。其区别是：
• ill只用作表语,而sick既可用作表语,也可用作定语。另外,作“恶心”解时只用sick,作“坏的,糟的”解时只用ill。例如:
• She's visiting her sick uncle in hospital.她到医院去看望生病的叔叔。
• The man looks pretty sick.这人看上去病得很重。
• We began to feel sick as soon as the ship started to move.轮船刚刚开动,我们就觉得恶心。

sick, sickly

• 这两个形容词共同的意思是“患病的”,其区别是：
• sick主要用于人,而sickly既可用于人,也可用于其他生物或非生物。用于人时, sick通常指“小恙”,含有“暂时”的意味; 而sickly往往指“痼疾”,含有“慢性”或“经常性”的意味。例如:
• The sick boy is a friend of my son's.
• 这个生病的男孩是我儿子的一位朋友。
• The mother was lulling her sickly baby to sleep.
• 母亲在哄她多病的孩子入睡。
• sickly用于其他生物时,也具有“不健康的”意义; 修饰非生物时,含有“令人厌恶的、不好的”意味。例如:
• These plants look rather sickly.这些植物看起来有些不健康。
• There is a sickly smell.有一股令人作呕的气味。

下面两句意思相同：

• I feel sick in the stomach.
• I am sick at the stomach.
• 我感到反胃。

ill，sick

• 这两个形容词均有“生病的”之意。
• ill在英国较常用，指“生病”时，通常作表语，不可作定语。在美国，ill用作表语时可与sick换用。
• sick多用于美国，作“生病”解时，既可作表语，也可作定语。在英国，sick作表语，不指生病，而指“恶心、呕吐”。

常见错误

adj. (形容词)

1. 她心里烦闷。

   误 She is sick in heart.

   正 She is sick at heart.

   析 表示“心里烦闷”通常用固定短语be sick at heart表示,其中的介词at不能改为in。

2. 我讨厌冬天,为什么春天还不来呢?

   误 I'm sick at winter; why doesn't spring come?

   正 I'm sick of winter; why doesn't spring come?

   析 表示“讨厌或厌烦…”须用be sick of sb/sth 结构,其中的介词of不能改为at。
