"in agony"是一个英语短语,表示处于极度的身体或精神痛苦中。其核心含义是强烈的、难以忍受的痛楚,常见于以下两种语境:
身体剧痛
多用于描述由外伤、疾病或生理损伤引发的剧烈疼痛。例如:"The athlete collapsed on the track, clutching his leg in agony after the muscle tear"(运动员因肌肉撕裂倒地,痛苦地抱住腿部)。这种用法在医学文献中常被提及,《牛津英语词典》指出,"agony"源自古希腊语"agonia",原指"为胜利而斗争",后演变为与身心煎熬相关的含义。
精神煎熬
也可表达情感上的极度痛苦,如失去亲人、重大挫折等心理创伤。例句:"She was in agony over the decision to leave her family"(她对离开家人的决定感到极度煎熬)。《剑桥词典》强调该短语常与"emotional"或"mental"等词搭配,突显非生理性痛苦。
该短语的强度高于普通疼痛描述(如"in pain"),《韦氏词典》将其列为最高痛苦等级词汇之一,常与"extreme""unbearable"等程度副词连用。在文学作品中,莎士比亚曾用"agony of love"刻画角色心理矛盾,体现其情感张力的经典性。
