Ache Aches Aching Feel Pain Strong Heart Eɪk

The word "ache" can function as both a verb and a noun in English. As a verb, it signifies experiencing a continuous, strong pain, as in "Her head was throbbing and she ached all over." It can also express a strong desire, often accompanied by unhappiness, as in "She still ached for the lost intimacy." As a noun, "ache" refers to a steady, fairly strong pain in a part of the body, such as "aches in my muscles," or generally to minor bodily discomforts, as in "aches and pains."

ache 是一个英语单词,可以作为动词或名词使用。作为动词,它可以表示(持续并较强烈地)疼痛,正如“Her head was throbbing and she ached all over”(她的脑袋嗡嗡作响并且浑身疼痛)所示。它也可以表示渴望(且因得不到而痛苦),例如“She still ached for the lost intimacy”(她仍旧渴望拥有逝去的那份缱绻)。作为名词,ache 指身体某部位持续且较强烈的疼痛,如“ache in my muscles”(肌肉疼痛),或者泛指较轻微的身体疼痛,如“aches and pains”(周身酸痛)。
