"sickly"是一個形容詞,主要包含以下三層含義:
形容健康狀态不佳 指長期患病或體質虛弱的狀态。牛津詞典指出,該詞可用于描述"因長期疾病導緻面色蒼白或身體衰弱的人",例如:"The sickly child missed school frequently due to respiratory infections"(這個體弱多病的孩子因呼吸道感染經常缺課)。
描述令人不適的特征 劍橋詞典解釋其可指"顔色、氣味或味道引起生理反感",尤其強調"甜膩到令人作嘔的程度"。典型用法如:"The room was painted in a sickly yellow shade that caused eye strain"(房間刷成令人不適的黃色,容易引起眼睛疲勞)。
比喻缺乏活力 柯林斯詞典提到該詞可延伸形容"缺乏力量或生機的狀态",常見于文學描寫。例如:"The plants grew in sickly clusters under the polluted sky"(在受污染的空氣中,植物病恹恹地成簇生長)。
詞源方面,Merriam-Webster考證其最早出現于14世紀,由古英語"seoc"(疾病)演變而來,-ly後綴強化狀态特征。現代用法中需注意:形容人時帶有同情色彩,但過度使用可能産生貶義暗示。
