Nauseated

“Nauseated” 是 “nauseate” 的过去分词,常用作形容词。它描述的是一种感觉,即一个人感到胃部不适、想吐。它主要用于描述人内心的感受。

  1. “I felt nauseated after eating that old sushi.” (吃了那过期的寿司后,我感到恶心。)
  2. “The smell of gasoline always makes her feel nauseated.” (汽油的味道总是让她感到恶心。)
  3. “Many people get nauseated when traveling on a boat.” (很多人坐船时会感到恶心。)

源自拉丁语 “nausea”,最初指“晕船”。它又源自希腊语 “nausia”(晕船),来自 “naus”(船)。这与 “navy”(海军), “nautical”(航海的)同源。

  • 词根: “nause-” (恶心)
  • 后缀: “-ated” (动词过去分词,常作形容词)

在日常英语中,“nauseated” 是一个非常实用的词。它与 “nauseous” 有时被混用,但传统语法认为 “nauseated” 是指“感到恶心”,而 “nauseous” 是指“令人恶心”。

  • 动词: nauseate (使恶心)
  • 名词: nausea (恶心)

由于它的词源是 “naus”(船),你可以记住它最初就是“晕船”的意思。想象你在波涛汹涌的海面上的一艘小船上,那种感觉就是 “nauseated”。

“Tom went on a roller coaster for the first time. As the ride went up and down, he started to feel dizzy. By the time it stopped, he was completely nauseated and had to sit down for an hour.” (汤姆第一次去坐过山车。随着车子上上下下,他开始感到头晕。到结束时,他感到极度恶心,不得不坐下来休息了一个小时。)
