“食欲不振”常见的英文表达有 loss of appetite 或 poor appetite。
loss of appetite:侧重于表达食欲的丧失或明显减弱,是比较常用和正式的说法。例如:He has been experiencing a loss of appetite due to the stress of work.(由于工作压力,他一直食欲不振。)
poor appetite:同样表示食欲不佳,语气相对稍口语化一些。例如:The patient has a poor appetite and needs encouragement to eat.(这位病人食欲不佳,需要鼓励他进食。)
