“言语不清”常见的英文表达有 “unintelligible speech”、“slurred speech” 或 “incoherent speech” ,具体使用可根据语境来选择:
unintelligible speech:强调说话内容难以理解,可能是因为发音、语法错误、口音过重等原因导致他人无法听清或明白说话者意思。例如:His unintelligible speech made it hard for us to follow his ideas.(他言语不清,让我们很难跟上他的思路。 )
slurred speech:侧重于描述说话含糊不清,通常是由于生理原因(如醉酒、药物影响、神经系统疾病等)导致发音不准确、字词粘连。例如:The patient presented with slurred speech and difficulty walking.(患者表现出言语不清和行走困难的症状。)
incoherent speech:主要指言语缺乏逻辑性、连贯性,内容混乱,表达不清晰,可能说话者自己也思路不清晰。例如:He was in a state of shock and his speech was incoherent.(他处于震惊状态,言语不清。)
