- 1噁心、想吐（指身體；中文「噁心」也可罵「真討厭」，英文 nausea 本身不這麼用）
Nausea is the unhappy feeling in your body when you think you are going to vomit — food coming back up from the stomach through the mouth. Your stomach feels wrong; you may sweat; you do not want to eat. People get nausea on a boat or in a car, in early pregnancy, from some medicines, from a stomach bug, or from a bad smell. Doctors use this word in a calm, slightly formal way. In ordinary talk many people just say they feel sick, or they feel like throwing up. Though actually the word itself comes from the sea: Greek sailors named this feeling after the ship, because so many people felt it on the water. Today the feeling has nothing to do with ships unless you are on one. One more messy bit: in English, nausea is the feeling in the body. In Chinese, 噁心 can mean that same body feeling, but it can also mean 'that's gross' about a person or an idea. English nausea does not do that second job by itself.
From the word’s history
From Middle English nausea, from Latin nausea, from Ancient Greek ναυσία 'seasickness', from ναῦς 'ship'.
源自希臘文 ναυσία「暈船」，來自 ναῦς「船」。
組成From Latin nausea, from Ancient Greek nausía, 'sea-sickness', from naûs, 'ship'. It took the place of an older English word for the same feeling.
