词源与构词

记忆钩子 unwell 通常作表语，常说 feel/be unwell；表示“恶心的”不要一概用 unwell，英式英语常用 feel sick。

词族与关联词

同义词
  • ill 生病的；不适的
    unwell 常指暂时或笼统的身体不适，通常置于 be、feel、look 等系动词后；ill 可表示更严重或更明确的疾病，在英式英语中也可作定语，如 ill health。日常说“病人”时，an ill person 通常比 an unwell person 自然。
    Her grandfather is seriously ill and needs constant care. 她祖父病得很重，需要持续照护。
反义词
  • well 健康的；身体好的
    表示健康时，well 是形容词，与 unwell 相对，常用 feel well；well 也可作副词表示“好地”，但此时反义词不是 unwell。
    She stayed at home until she felt well enough to return to work. 她待在家里，直到身体恢复到足以回去工作。
易混词（形近或义近，注意区别）
  • sick 生病的；恶心的；呕吐的
    sick 在美式英语中常泛指生病；在英式英语中 feel sick 常指恶心，be sick 常指呕吐。unwell 是较温和、正式的“身体不适”，通常作表语，不专门表示恶心或呕吐。
    She felt sick as soon as the boat began to roll. 船一开始摇晃，她就感到恶心。
