FEELING ILL: Learn British English

we've all been there you wake up in the morning and you feel dreadful you don't

我們都有過這樣的時候：

早上睜開眼睛覺得糟透了

want to get up and you certainly don't want to go to work

不想起床

更不想去上班

so you could say I'm unwell I'm ill I'm poorly I'm under the weather I'm sick

這時候你可以說：我不舒服I‘m unwell

我病了 I'm ill

我身體不適 I'm poorly

我身體不舒服 I'm under the weather

我病了 I'm sick

you could also say I'm feeling unwell or I'm not feeling well I'm feeling poorly

也可以用「我覺得...」來開頭

我覺得不舒服、不適、我覺得不太對勁

我覺得身體不適、我覺得不舒服

I'm feeling ill I'm feeling sick now I'm feeling sick is a little bit different -

我覺得我好像病了 I'm feeling sick

注意！

I'm feeling sick與I'm sick有點不同

I'm sick if you say I'm sick it suggests that you're poorly or generally unwell

如果你說I'm sick,意思就是我病了

泛指身體不舒服

but if you say I'm feeling sick that may suggest that you're feeling nauseous and

但如果你是說I'm feeling sick

意思比較偏向你感到噁心想吐

might want to vomit or throw up so be aware of that

是真的想要嘔吐

所以，注意這兩個用法的差別：

difference I'm sick in general I'm feeling sick work if you're feeling

I'm sick泛指我身體不太舒服 I'm feeling sick 我想吐

如果你覺得極度不舒服

really unwell then you may feel that you shouldn't go to work in which case you

那你一定覺得不要去上班比較好

那麼你就需要請病假 call in sick

would have to call in sick or phone in sick hi

（另一種請病假說法 phone in sick）

（咳嗽）是我Anna啦

yeah it's Anna I'm not feeling very well today I don't think I can come in

我今天身體不太舒服，可能沒辦法去上班了

sometimes people pretend to be sick in order to get a day off work this is

有時候有人明明沒有生病

卻藉機請病假休息一天

這叫做裝病 pulling a sickie

called pulling a sickie and it's very naughty I've never done it

是不太好的

我從沒這樣做過，從沒有！

我們接著談談病徵

那些你生病時會出現的症狀

生病的時候該怎麼辦呢？

we do the first thing we do is look for sympathy we tell the people around us

第一件事當然是博取同情

開始跟身邊的人說我身體不舒服

that we're not feeling very well and hope that they will look after us or

暗示、希望他們開始關心你

take care of us this means that they will make us tea bring us food and in

開始照顧你

比如說泡茶給你喝

買東西給你吃

the UK we tend to bring grapes when people aren't feeling well and if you're

在英國如果有人不舒服我們會買葡萄給他

really poorly someone might renew flowers to cheer you up

如果你真的很不舒服

有人可能會買花給你打打氣

a phrase that we often use when giving sympathy is oh dear oh dear it's just a

安慰不舒服的人時我們常用的句子有

噢，親愛的 噢 親愛的

是個充滿同情的表達

sympathetic expression oh dear that's not very good oh dear that's not very

噢親愛的，那真是太糟了

噢親愛的那一點都不好

nice at all and this is used for everybody men women and children oh dear

這是每個人都適用的

對男人女人大人小孩都行

I'm sorry to hear you're not well we would also wish the person a speedy

喔親愛的，我真遺憾聽到這個

我們也希望那個人快點復原

recovery so we'd say I hope you're feeling better soon get well soon

所以我們說：希望你快點好起來

快點好轉！

sometimes we might send them a get-well card to wish them receive you recovering

有時候可能會送張慰問卡片

希望他們早日康復

and say that we're thinking about them on the other hand we could be

並且讓他們知道你有放在心上

相反的也可以一點同情心都沒有

completely unsympathetic particularly if someone who is a little bit under the

特別是

某些人只是一點點小毛病

weather is putting it on or laying it on thick these phrases mean that they're

卻小題大作大肆渲染

putting it on/ laying it on thick都是指誇大渲染

being melodramatic they're making out like their illness is much worse than it

過度戲劇化、無病呻吟

表現得比實際情況嚴重

actually is for example one phrase that we sometimes use when we'll ill is ah

比如說

有些人會一點小事就很誇張地說:「我要死了！」

I'm dying I'm so ill I'm dying when in fact they only have a cold I

我病得好重啊

我真的快死了

但事實上不過是個小感冒，拜託

mean come on there is also a phrase in the UK we use

在英國我們有個詞

when a man is being melodramatic about his cold and that is the phrase

用來形容一點小感冒就過分誇張戲劇化的人

是這樣說的:

man flu so if a man has a cold a little bit of a sniffle which means he's got a

Man Flu (被男人誇大的感冒症狀)

如果有個男人一點小感冒

稍微流點鼻水

runny nose we say you've got man flu have you meaning it's not nearly as bad

我們說：男人流感症狀是吧？

意思是說根本沒他們表現出來的那麼嚴重

as they're making out they're just being melodramatic no I don't think Steve's

只是裝裝可憐吧

我覺得Steve今天大概不會來吧

coming tonight yeah he's out he's got man flu our packet exactly the next step

對啦，他染上了「男人的流感」...沒錯！

博取同情之後

if you're not feeling very well is to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine now

下一個步驟

是到藥局去拿藥

the medicine you can buy at a pharmacy without a prescription from your doctor
