ill 英文词源

ill

ill: [12] ‘Sick’ is not the original meaning of ill. To start with it meant ‘bad’ (a sense which survives, of course, in contexts such as ‘ill-will’, ‘illmannered’, etc), and ‘sick’ did not come on the scene until the 15th century. The word was borrowed from Old Norse illr, which is something of a mystery: it has other modern descendants in Swedish illa and Danish ilde ‘badly’, but its other relations are highly dubious (Irish olc has been compared) and no one knows where it originally came from. The sense ‘sick’ was probably inspired by an impersonal usage in Old Norse which meant literally ‘it is bad to me’.

ill (adj.)

c. 1200, "morally evil" (other 13c. senses were "malevolent, hurtful, unfortunate, difficult"), from Old Norse illr "ill, bad," of unknown origin. Not considered to be related to evil. Main modern sense of "sick, unhealthy, unwell" is first recorded mid-15c., probably related to Old Norse idiom "it is bad to me." Slang inverted sense of "very good, cool" is 1980s. As a noun, "something evil," from mid-13c.

ill (v.)

early 13c., "to do evil to," from ill (adj.). Meaing "to speak disparagingly" is from 1520s. Related: Illed; illing.

ill (adv.)

c. 1200, "wickedly; with hostility;" see ill (adj.). Meaning "not well, poorly" is from c. 1300. It generally has not shifted to the realm of physical sickess, as the adjective has done. Ill-fated recorded from 1710; ill-informed from 1824; ill-tempered from c. 1600; ill-starred from c. 1600. Generally contrasted with well, hence the useful, but now obsolete or obscure illcome (1570s), illfare (c. 1300), and illth.

这些形容词均含"坏的"之意。

bad： 含义广泛，指任何不好的或不合需要的品质。

ill与evil意义接近，但语气弱一些，常指道德或性质方面的不良。

poor： 普通用词，侧重指事物的质量或数量低于标准或不合要求。用于指天气与食品时可与bad通用。

wicked： 语气比evil强，指居心叵测，任意违反道德标准，有意作恶。

ill, sick

ill： 在英国较常用，指"生病"时，通常作表语，不可作定语。在美国，ill用作表语时可与sick换用。

sick多用于美国，作"生病"解时，既可作表语，也可作定语。在英国，sick作表语，不指生病，而指"恶心、呕吐"。
