发烧好了但咳嗽不停,“把肺都要咳出来了”用英语怎么说?



在发了四天烧之后,C姐终于体温正常了!!!这几天C姐的症状算是比较轻的,除了发烧,最难过的就是两个鼻孔都鼻塞+24小时round the clock的咳嗽,个人用纸量破记录后,C姐觉得脑子都要被擤出来了,肺也要被咳出来了

   cough (one's) head off     
1
那“把肺都要咳出来了”用英语怎么说呢?还真有一种说法,叫 cough (one's) head off,to cough intensely, as from an illness,因为疾病而剧烈咳嗽。看来外国人不说肺咳出来,而说“把头咳掉了”。

🌰 举个例子
Natalie has still been coughing her head off, so I don't think the antibiotic you gave her has helped.
娜塔莉一直在咳嗽,所以我认为你给她的抗生素没有帮助。

   coughing fit

还有一种说法叫做 coughing fit,意思是 a sudden period of coughing,“一阵猛咳”。
🌰 举个例子However, when not in a coughing fit, the patient does not experience trouble breathing.
然而,当不咳嗽时,患者不会出现呼吸困难。

     cough sth up

前几天C姐在刷微博的时候刷到真的有人咳出血,情况严重的时候大家一定要去医院。那“咳出...”用英语怎么说?cough sth up!to make something come out of your throat or lungs when you cough。
🌰 举个例子
Doctors were worried when she started to cough up blood.
她开始咳血,医生担心了。

不过,俚语中,cough (sth) up 还有另一种意思,to produce money or information unwillingly,勉强给予(钱或信息)。最常用的情况就是让某人掏钱时会说 cough it up.
🌰 举个例子
I've just had to cough up £40 for a parking fine.
我只得掏出40英镑交停车罚款。



  cough sth out    
 
4
当然也有 cough sth out 或 cough out sth 这种说法,也有“把...咳出来”的意思,所以“把肺都咳出来”还可以说成 cough one's lungs out.(这个更常用)。不过 cough out sth 还有另一种意思是 to say something while coughing,一边咳一边说话。

🌰 举个例子
Although she tried to cough out her presentation, she ultimately had to stop and drink a glass of water.
尽管她试图在咳嗽时继续演讲,但最终还是不得不停下来喝一杯水。

最后祝了的朋友们快快康复,没阳和阳过的朋友们一直不阳~
