and in this English lesson I'm going to give you words

在這堂課

and phrases that you can use to talk about sickness.

我將教你關於生病常用到的單字和句子

So we're going to look at the difference between sore and ache,

我們來看 sore 和 ache 的差別

I'm going to talk about differences between British and American English,

我會提到英語和美語的差異性

and I'm also going to help you practice

以及協助你練習

when it comes to stress in certain words and the intonation

某些字的重音，以及語調

so that you can really get across how sick you feel.

因此你能真正表達你的病況

But before we get into the phrases,

在我們開始之前

there are two things I need to tell you.

有兩件事我要告訴你

Firstly, I have a free gift for you,

首先，我有禮物要送你

and you can download this

你可以下載

and I'll give you the information on it at the end of the lesson.

我會在課堂後提供資訊

Also, my wife and I recorded a conversation

我和我妻子錄了一段對話

where we talked about getting sick,

談論關於「生病」

so be sure to watch that after this video too.

在本片後要記得收聽

When talking about feeling sick in general,

一般提到「生病」

there are a few ways that you can do this.

你能使用一些用詞

You can say,

你可以說

I feel sick.

I feel sick.

I feel sick.

我生病了

Or simply,

或是簡單地說

I'm sick.

I'm sick.

And later we'll look at the difference between "I feel sick,"

接著來看 I feel sick

and

以及

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

I feel like I'm going to be sick 的差別

But for now, know that we can say,

但現在，我們已經知道

I'm sick,

I'm sick

or,

以及

I feel sick.

I feel sick 都可以表達「我生病了」

You can also say,

你也可以說

I don't feel well,

I don't feel well,

or,

或是

I don't feel very well.

I don't feel very well.

Now, most people say this in a bit of a down way.

許多人會在身體狀況不佳的時候這麼說

For example,

例如

I don't feel very well today.

I don't feel very well today.

I don't feel very well today.

「我今天身體不太舒服。」

If you want something a little bit stronger,

如果你要表達的程度比「不舒服」更強烈

you can say,

你可以說

I feel terrible today.

I feel terrible today.

I feel terrible today.

「我今天病得很嚴重。」

Or just simply,

或是簡單說

I feel terrible.

I feel terrible.

Now notice that I stress the word terrible.

注意我加強 terrible 這個字

This gives it more emphasis.

是為了強調狀況很糟

I feel terrible.

I feel terrible.

Let's talk about colds and sneezing now.

現在來看看 colds 和 sneezing 這兩個字

The simple way to say you have a cold, is to say,

當你感冒了，最簡單的說法是

I have a cold.

I have a cold.

Now, look at the difference between these two sentences.

來看看以下兩句的差異

I have a cold,

I have a cold,

and,

以及

I've got a cold.

I've got a cold.

I have a cold,

「我感冒了。」

and,

以及

I've got a cold.

「我病了。」

When using these two phrases, know that

當使用這兩句，你需要知道

I have a cold,

I have a cold,

is more common in American English, and

常見於美式英語

I've got a cold,

I've got a cold,

is more common in British English.

常見於英式英文

We can use the word terrible again

我們可以再使用 terrible 這個字

to give it more emphasis.

用來加強語氣

I've got a terrible cold at the moment.

I've got a terrible cold at the moment.

I've got a terrible cold at the moment.

「我現在病得很重。」

You'll also hear people say,

也有人這麼說

I've got an awful cold at the moment.

I've got an awful cold at the moment.

I've got an awful cold at the moment.

「我現在病得很重。」

Here are two fun phrases relating to colds.

有兩句跟感冒相關的有趣句子

I've got a stuffy nose

I've got a stuffy nose.

and,

以及

I've got a runny nose.

I've got a runny nose.

To have a stuffy nose means that

To have a stuffy nose 意思是

you can't really breathe out of your nose.

你無法順暢地呼吸

So it's difficult to breathe when you have a stuffy nose,

所以當你鼻塞，就是 have a stuffy nose

and this is especially problematic at night

在晚間鼻塞會異常困擾

when you can't sleep,

當你無法入睡

and you wake up,

只得起床

and you have to sit up in bed

坐起身

because you've got such a stuffy nose.

因為你嚴重鼻塞

To have a runny nose is a little bit different,

To have a runny nose 意思不太相同

and it means that liquid comes out of your nose.

是指鼻子流出鼻水

You have such a bad cold,

如果你重感冒

that liquid just comes out of your nose,

鼻水直流

and that's what it means to have a runny nose.

就是 to have a runny nose. 的意思

People with colds usually,

生病的人通常會

usually (bleep)...

通常... (口誤)

People with colds usually sneeze a lot.

生病的人通常會一直打噴嚏

Now, do you know what to say to someone who sneezes?

那麼，當別人打噴嚏的時候，你知道該說甚麼嗎？

It is,

是

bless you.

bless you.

Bless you.

「願你健康。」

So usually someone sneezes,

通常有人打了噴嚏

somebody else says bless you,

其他人就會說"bless you

and the person who sneezes says, thank you.

打噴嚏的人則回 thank you.

Let's talk about the word ache now,

讓我們來看看 ache 這個字

and we'll start with the head.

從頭部開始講起

Again, there's a difference in British and American English.

同樣的，

I have a headache.

I have a headache. (美式)

I've got a headache.

I've got a headache. (英式)

I have a headache.

「我頭痛。」(美式)

I've got a headache.

「我頭痛。」(英式)

I want to talk a little bit now about connected speech,

我想多說一點關於連音

and relaxed pronunciation,

以及含糊的發音等口語表達

because you don't hear people say,

你不會聽到人們說

I've got a headache.

I've got a headache.

Instead, in the UK, it is this.

在英國，你會聽到

I've gotta headache.

I've gotta headache. 取而代之

I've gotta headache.

I've gotta headache.

I've gotta headache.

「我頭痛。」

So, got a becomes gotta,

用連音 gotta 取代 got a

and everything comes together

兩個字連在一起

so it sounds like it's one word.

聽起來就像只有一個字而已

I've gotta headache.

I've gotta headache.

I've gotta headache.

「我頭痛。」

We also use ache with stomach.

肚子痛我們也會用 ache 這個字

I've gotta stomach ache.

I've gotta stomach ache.「我肚子痛。」

And, like most things that I'm gonna talk about in this video,

正如我在本片一直提到的

we can use the word terrible or awful.

我們同樣也可以用 terrible 和 awful

I've got a terrible stomach ache.

I've got a terrible stomach ache.

I've got a terrible stomach ache.

「我肚子痛得厲害。」

We've talked about ache,

剛剛講了「疼痛」

now let's talk about sore.

現在來講「痠痛」

We can use the word sore

我們可以用 sore 這個字

with things like throat.

來形容喉嚨痛

Probably the most common one.

最常見的用法是

I've got a sore throat.

I've got a sore throat.

I've got a sore throat.

「我喉嚨痛。」

Here's a quick question for you at this stage.

The word sick can be used in two main ways.

sick 有兩大用法

The first way is what I mentioned at the start of this video,

首先是我一開始提到的

where I talked about how you feel.

用在「感受」

I feel sick.

我覺得我病了

I don't feel well.

我覺得身體不舒服

I feel terrible.

我覺得很糟

But it can also mean to vomit or to throw up.

另一個意思用在「噁心反胃」上

Now, a very common thing to say

常見於

just before you're going to throw up, is this.

你要吐出來之前說，就像

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

「我覺得我快吐了。」

And usually people say this with some panic.

通常是病的人會這麼說

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

I feel like I'm going to be sick.

Because, it's not a nice experience.

因為這是個不太好受的經驗

Now, we use the verb going to,

接著，我們用動詞 "going to"

because we're talking about a prediction based on how we feel.

因為我們是根據自己的感受預測

And it's similar to saying

就像是說

there's a black cloud over there.

那邊有烏雲

It's going to rain soon.

可能就要下雨了

Manchester United look a great team at the moment.

曼徹斯特聯足球隊此刻看起來很棒

They're going to win today.

他們可能要奪勝了

If we base our prediction on evidence

若我們非憑空臆測

then we use going to.

我們就會用 going to

And again, I made a lesson on this,

我也為此另闢一課

so go check that out.

快去另一堂課瞧瞧

There is a link in the description.

同樣附上連結

If your body temperature goes above

若你的體溫高於

100.4 degrees Fahrenheit,

100.4 度 F

or 38 degerees Celsius,

或是 38 度 C

I think that's right,

我認為

then, you either have a fever or a temperature.

你不是 have a fever 就是 have a temperature 了

And this is a difference between British and American English.

英式美式用法有相異之處

In British English we say,

英式用法我們會說

my son has a temperature today.

我兒子今天發燒 (temperature) 了

He can't go to school.

他不能上學

In American English,

美式用法則是

My son has a fever today.

我的兒子發燒 (fever) 了

He can't go to school.

他不能上學

So there's a difference there.

差別就在此

A fever and a temperature.

fever 與 temperature

But I think that if you use either of those

但我認為，不論你用英或美式的用法

in the other country,

在另一個相對的國家

then it will work out fine.

也是行得通的

Now, my son actually had a fever

而現在，我的兒子真的發燒了

about three weeks ago,

大約三個星期前

and his teacher called me to say,

他的老師跟我說

"Thomas has a fever,

「Thomas 發燒了。」

you need to come and pick him up."

「你需要來一趟帶他回家。」

You need to come and pick him up.

You need to come and pick him up.

And to pick someone up

pick someone up

means to go and collect them.

意指去接送他們
