說到“頭疼”我們都能第一時間反應出來
headache
由此我們還可以舉一反三出 -ache 作詞尾的各種疼
toothache 牙疼
stomach ache 胃疼
backache 背疼
身體部位加上ache
就可以表達某個部位“疼”
那“頭暈”你知道如何表達麼?
syncope /'sɪŋkəpɪ/
n.
(also fainting episode)
a short period of time when a person becomes unconscious
暈厥
例：
Postural syncope occurs when the body cannot supply enough blood to the brain in theupright position because of low blood pressure.
直立時因血壓過低導致大腦供血不足時會出現直立性暈厥。
faint /feɪnt/
adj.
to feel weak, as if you are about to become unconscious
虛弱無力;感到眩暈;快要暈倒似的
例：
She felt faint with hunger.
她餓得頭昏眼花。
v.
to suddenly become unconscious for a short time, usually falling down
昏厥;暈倒
例：

dizzy /'dɪzɪ/
adj.
feeling as if everything is turning around, and that you are not able to balance and may fall down
眩暈的，頭暈目眩的，眼花繚亂的
例：
I felt dizzy with excitement as I went up to collect the award.

Syncope is just another word for fainting from any cause, and usually means a problem with the heart. People can feel dizzy from a lot of different reasons, including vertigo, which is usually a problem with the ears, or other causes of dizziness that have to do with the nerves. But syncope means fainting from a disease of the heart.
Syncope是faint的另一種說法，通常隱含有心臟問題。人們會因為很多不同的原因感到頭暈(dizzy)，包括眩暈，這通常是耳朵的問題，或其他與神經有關的原因。而syncope就隱含因心臟疾病而昏厥。
As adjectives the difference between dizzy and faint is that dizzy is having a sensation of whirling, with a tendency to fall; giddy; feeling unbalanced or lightheaded while faint is lacking strength; weak; languid; inclined to swoon; as, faint with fatigue, hunger, or thirst.
作為形容詞，dizzy和faint之間的區別在於dizzy有一種旋轉的感覺，有摔倒的傾向;眼花繚亂;感到不平衡或頭暈眼花。而faint是缺乏力量;弱;沒精打采;傾向於昏了過去;由於疲勞、飢餓或口渴而暈。
As verbs the difference between dizzy and faint
is that dizzy is to make dizzy, to bewilder while faint is to lose consciousness caused by a lack of oxygen or nutrients to the brain, usually as a result of a suddenly reduced blood flow (may be caused by emotional trauma, loss of blood or various medical conditions).
作為動詞dizzy和faint的區別是,dizzy是致使頭暈而迷惑，而faint是由於大腦缺氧而使人失去意識，通常是由於血流量突然減少的結果(可能是由於情感創傷、失血或各種疾病)。
