病中偶遇友,我言“I'm sick”,本意诉不适。老外听后神色紧,忙问缘由何所急。一笑释误会,语境不同意相异,交流需细腻。下面一起拓展相关表达:
为什么I am sick要慎用?
在英语中,直接使用“I am sick”来表达自己生病了,虽然语法上没有错误,但在某些语境下可能会引发一些误解。这主要是因为“sick”这个词在英语中有更广泛的含义,除了表示“生病的”之外,还可以表示“恶心的”、“不舒服的”、“厌倦的”或“不快的”等意思。
如果你只是想表达自己身体不舒服或生病了,为了更明确地传达这个意思,你可以使用以下一些更具体的表达方式:
I'm not feeling well.我感觉不舒服。
I'm ill.我生病了。
I've caught a cold/flu.我感冒了/得流感了。
I'm under the weather.
我有点不舒服,这个表达比较委婉。
