Nauseous

　　What you think it means: To feel ill.你認(rèn)為單詞的含義是：感覺不舒服。

　　What it really means: To cause feelings of illness.單詞的真正含義是：令人不舒服的。

　　This is another understandable mishap that a lot of people make. If you actually feel sick then you are nauseated. The object that made you feel ill is nauseous. Here’s how this works. If you're at an amusement park and you're sitting next to a full trash can, the fumes from the trash may make you feel ill. That means the fumes from the trash can are nauseous because they are making you feel nauseated.許多人用錯這個單詞也是情有可原的。如果你果真感到不舒服，那么你會nauseated(作嘔)，讓你感到不舒服的東西是nauseous(作嘔的)。請看下面的例子。假設(shè)你坐在游樂園一個滿滿的垃圾桶旁邊，垃圾桶里冒出的煙霧讓你感到不舒服。這就是說，垃圾桶里冒出的煙霧是nauseous(令人作嘔的)，因為它讓你感到nauseated(作嘔)。
