“呕吐的”常见英文表达是 “vomiting” 或 “nauseous”(侧重于有恶心感、可能引发呕吐的状态),具体使用取决于语境:
vomiting:更直接地描述“正在呕吐的”这一动作或状态。例如:
The patient is experiencing vomiting.(病人正在呕吐。)
Symptoms include fever, headache, and vomiting.(症状包括发烧、头痛和呕吐。)
nauseous:侧重于描述“感到恶心的,有呕吐感的”状态。例如:
I felt nauseous after eating that bad food.(吃了变质的食物后,我感到恶心。)
The smell in the room made me feel nauseous.(房间里的气味让我感到恶心。)
如果需要强调“呕吐物”这一名词,则可以用 “vomit”(不可数名词)或 “vomitus”(医学术语,较正式)。例如:
There was vomit on the floor.(地板上有呕吐物。)
The doctor examined the vomitus for signs of poisoning.(医生检查了呕吐物,寻找中毒的迹象。)
