词义辨析

n. (名词)

illness, disease, sickness

• 这组词都有“病”“疾病”的意思。其区别是：
• 1.disease泛指各种疾病,尤指传染病,遗传病和诸如心脏病、癌症等严重疾病; sickness多指晕船、恶心、胃病等方面的疾病或有关饮食方面的疾病; illness多指患病的状态及持续的时间,很可能是某种disease引起的,如不及时治疗,会导致严重的后果; sickness指各种身体上和感觉上一时的不适,病期最短,而disease病期最长。
• 2.disease多指具体的疾病, illness和sickness则通常表示抽象的疾病或生病状态。例如:
• This disease affects millions in the world every year.这种病每年都使世界上上百万人受到感染。
• The doctors broke through in their fight against heart disease.医生们在与心脏病作斗争方面有了新的突破。
• There has been a lot of illness in the family recently.最近以来这家人常生病。
• He was internally disturbed to hear of her illness.听说她病了,他内心很不安。
• Her savings have been eaten up by illness.她的积蓄因为生病全给用光了。

• sickness较口语化，可与illness换用，但还可表示“恶心”。
• disease指具体的疾病，且通常较严重，发病时间也较长。
• complaint现代英语中，既可指症状，也可指疾病。
