Throw up 是什么意思?呕吐和“发现问题”的两种用法

Throw up 是日常口语中的呕吐。Feel like throwing up 只是感觉想吐;在 The survey threw up problems 中,它又是在说调查发现了问题。

Throw up 表示呕吐,是普通的非正式用词:I threw up。在英式英语中,它还可以表示产生或揭示某些情况,例如问题、疑问或意外结果:The survey threw up some surprises。

练习在对话中灵活使用英语词汇

开始学习

throw up (= be sick); feel like throwing up; something + throw up + problems/questions/results (UK)

  • I think the fish was off, because I threw up twice last night.
  • My little son gets carsick and sometimes throws up on long journeys.
  • The first round of interviews threw up a few problems we hadn't expected.

修改原因

修改前The boat was rocking so much that I felt like to throw up.

修改后The boat was rocking so much that I felt like throwing up.

Feel like 表示“想要、感觉想”时,后面接 -ing 形式:feel like going、feel like throwing up。受 would like to 的影响,容易误用 to 不定式,但 feel like 不接这种结构。

Cambridge Dictionary

Throw up 是日常用语。英式英语中的 be sick 更中性一些:I was sick twice last night;医生则会使用 vomit。不要和 feel sick 混淆:I feel sick 表示恶心、感觉可能会吐,I threw up 则表示已经吐了。

动手练习

Anna ate some bad prawns at dinner and ___ twice during the night.

(threw up / threw out)

查看答案

threw up — Anna 吃了变质的虾,夜里吐了两次,所以选 threw up。Throw out 在表示丢弃时需要宾语,要说清丢掉什么;这里没有这样的宾语,也不是在说丢东西。

描述一次乘汽车、公交车或船时有人感到不舒服的经历。说明原因,以及最后怎么样了。

On our boat trip to the island, my sister threw up because of the big waves, but she felt fine as soon as we reached land.
