Usage Problem Affected with nausea.
【用法疑難】 患惡心癥的

【引伸】
nau.seously
adv.（副詞）
Traditional critics have insisted thatnauseous is appropriately used only to mean .causing nausea. and that it is incorrect to use it to mean .affected with nausea,.as inRoller coasters make me nauseous. In this example,nauseated is preferred by 72 percent of the Usage Panel. What is curious, however,is that 88 percent of the Panelists indicated that they would prefernauseating in the sentenceThe children looked a little green from too many candy apples and nauseous rides. Thus it appears that like a handful of other words such astranspire, nauseous is actively used mainly in the sense in which it is considered incorrect. · While the use ofnauseous to mean .affected with nausea. may incur critical displeasure, it should be pointed out in its defense not only that it is quite common among educated speakersbut that it is subtly distinct fromnauseated in this sense. Nauseated is a passive participle, and hence suggests a condition induced by a specific external cause.By contrast,nauseous is an adjective that refers to an occurrent state whose cause may be nonspecific or unknown.The person who reports thatI woke up this morning feeling nauseous might not be willing to accept that he or she had beennauseated by any external agent.
傳統(tǒng)的評論家堅持認為nauseous 只適合用于.引起人厭惡的.意思， 而用于指.患惡心癥的.是不正確的，就像在巨浪滑行者使我感到惡心 中一樣。 在這個例子中，nauseated 被72%的用法專題使用小組成員認為是合適的。 然而，有趣的是，88%的成員認為他們會選用nauseating 這個詞， 用在句子太多的蘋果糖和令人惡心的騎乘使得孩子們的臉色有點綠 中。 因此似乎像許多別的詞如transpire那樣，nauseous 積極地主要用于被人認為是不正確的意思中。 然而用nauseous 來指.患惡心癥.可能引起評論的不愉快， 作為防衛(wèi)我們應(yīng)該指出不僅在受過教育的演說者中此種用法普遍，而且在這個意思上它和nauseated 有細微的區(qū)別。 Nauseated 是過去分詞， 因此意味著由特殊的外部原因引導(dǎo)的條件。相反nauseous 是形容詞指偶發(fā)的狀態(tài)， 可能是非特殊的或不知道的。聲稱我早上起來時感到惡心 的人， 可能不情愿接受他或她被任何外界力量所惡心到
