Infected
“Infected” 表示人或物“已被病原体感染”,如 infected wound(感染的伤口)、infected patients(受感染患者)。也可引申为文件、系统“被病毒入侵”,如 an infected computer。
- “The cut became infected and needed medical treatment.” (伤口感染了,需要医疗处理。)
- “Several staff members were infected during the outbreak.” (疫情暴发期间有几名员工被感染。)
- “Do not open the file if your device is already infected.” (如果设备已被感染,不要打开该文件。)
“Infected” 来自拉丁语 “inficere”(放入、污染),由 in-(进入)与 facere(做)组合,原义是“把有害物质放入”。
“in-” 表示“进入”;“-ed” 为过去分词后缀;词干 “fect” 与 effect、defect 等同源。
在公共卫生、网络安全和医学新闻中,“infected” 是高频词,常与 virus、bacteria、malware 等搭配。
- 固定搭配: “infected with” (感染了……), “infected area” (疫区), “infected file” (受感染文件)
- 原形: infect
- 名词: infection
“in + fect + ed”:有害物质已经“进入”并起作用,所以是 infected。
“The nurse checked every infected patient carefully before the ward was fully cleaned.” (在病房彻底清洁之前,护士仔细检查了每一位受感染的患者。)
