Debug Answer
I have a coughing spell and get short of breath. 中文的「一陣陣」,英文可以用spell這個字來表示疾病的「一陣發作」。from time to time是「偶爾、有時」,不合本題語意。
I have a sore throat. It’s getting worse. sore是「疼痛發炎的」,可指全身各處的痛,如sore eyes、sore legs。painful則多指「引起痛苦的」事情,例:It is painful being hit with a stick.(被棍子打很痛。)
I feel dizzy after taking some over-the-counter medicine. 中文說「吃藥」,英文卻不是eat(吃),因為eat只能用在食物類,藥品類則必須用take,如take vitamins(吃維他命)。
My labor has started. Will I give birth to the baby soon? 「生小孩」的動作可以用deliver或give birth to來表達,但deliver作「生產」解時後面不須接介系詞to,應改為give birth to。
My friend was badly injured because a car hit him. wound用在打鬥或戰爭中受傷,即被刀、槍等銳器所傷,本句是被車撞傷,不能用wound。injure運用的範圍較廣,可指身體或精神方面的損傷,適用於此句。
