【适用场合】
今天我们来学习一个很日常的表达:
be in a coma
在英文中,coma可以当名词,表示“昏迷;无意识状态(尤其是由于生病或者事故带来的脑部受损造成的)”;
a state of unconsciousness from which a person cannot be woken, which is caused by damage to the brain after an accident or illness:
那一般来说,我们会用介词in来搭配;
in a coma指的是“处于昏迷当中”;
也可以选择用动词go来搭配,go into a coma指的是“进入昏迷状态”;你也可以选择用动词fall来搭配,fall into a coma也是一个意思:“进入昏迷状态,陷入昏迷”;
eg: He's been in a coma for the past six weeks.
过去六个周里他都一直处在昏迷状态中。
eg: She was in a coma for seven weeks.
她已经处在昏迷状态七个周了。
eg: She went into a coma by the time she reached hospital.
她抵达医院的时候,陷入了昏迷。
eg: He had a high fever and fell into a coma.
