Also called eagre 海啸,巨浪:一种因洪潮上涌入狭窄河口或撞击潮汐流而引起的很高的,通常很危险的波浪 也作 eagre〔nauseous〕Traditional critics have insisted thatnauseous is appropriately used only to mean "causing nausea" and that it is incorrect to use it to mean "affected with nausea,”as inRoller coasters make me nauseous. In this example,nauseated is preferred by 72 percent of the Usage Panel. What is curious, however,is that 88 percent of the Panelists indicated that they would prefernauseating in the sentenceThe children looked a little green from too many candy apples and nauseous rides. Thus it appears that like a handful of other words such astranspire, nauseous is actively used mainly in the sense in which it is considered incorrect. · While the use ofnauseous to mean "affected with nausea" may incur critical displeasure, it should be pointed out in its defense not only that it is quite common among educated speakersbut that it is subtly distinct fromnauseated in this sense. Nauseated is a passive participle, and hence suggests a condition induced by a specific external cause.By contrast,nauseous is an adjective that refers to an occurrent state whose cause may be nonspecific or unknown.The person who reports thatI woke up this morning feeling nauseous might not be willing to accept that he or she had beennauseated by any external agent. 传统的评论家坚持认为nauseous 只适合用于“引起人厌恶的”意思, 而用于指“患恶心症的”是不正确的,就像在巨浪滑行者使我感到恶心 中一样。 在这个例子中,nauseated 被72%的用法专题使用小组成员认为是合适的。 然而,有趣的是,88%的成员认为他们会选用nauseating 这个词, 用在句子太多的苹果糖和令人恶心的骑乘使得孩子们的脸色有点绿 中。 因此似乎像许多别的词如transpire那样,nauseous 积极地主要用于被人认为是不正确的意思中。 然而用nauseous 来指“患恶心症”可能引起评论的不愉快, 作为防卫我们应该指出不仅在受过教育的演说者中此种用法普遍,而且在这个意思上它和nauseated 有细微的区别。 Nauseated 是过去分词, 因此意味着由特殊的外部原因引导的条件。相反nauseous 是形容词指偶发的状态, 可能是非特殊的或不知道的。声称我早上起来时感到恶心 的人, 可能不情愿接受他或她被任何外界力量所恶心到 |
