 ♣ ill, sick
　这两个词的共同意思是“生病的”。其区别是：ill只用作表语，而sick既可用作表语，也可用作定语。另外，作“恶心”解时只用sick，作“坏的，糟的”解时只用ill. 例如：
　She's visiting her sick uncle in hospital.　她到医院去看望生病的叔叔。
　The man looks pretty sick.　这人看上去病得很重。

 ♣ ill, bad, evil, wicked
　这组词的共同意思是“坏”。其区别是：
1. 从所指范围上说， ill和bad范围最广，从稍有不利、不良到邪恶均可使用， evil和wicked指“邪恶”，程度较重。
2. 从语气上说，从弱到强依次为bad, ill, evil, wicked.
3. evil多用于道德方面， wicked谴责意味最强。例如：
　That woman has an evil tongue.　那女人有一张惯于恶语中伤的嘴。
　It's a wicked waste of money.　这样浪费金钱简直是罪恶。
4. ill还可作“有病的，不健康的”解， bad还可作“不幸的，太可惜的”解。例如：
　Too bad you couldn't come last night.　真可惜，你昨晚没能来。
 ♣ ill, unwell
　这两个词都有“感觉不适”的意思。unwell指短期生病， ill时间相对较长。另外， unwell语气较ill委婉。例如：
　I didn't go to the concert because I felt unwell that evening.　因为感到不舒服，那天晚上我没去听音乐会。

　那个生病的学生已缺课两天了。

　［误］ She did not come to class because she had to look after her ill brother.
　［正］ She did not come to class because she had to look after her sick brother.
　［析］ ill作“有病的”解时，只能用作表语。ill作为定语是“坏的，拙劣的，不恰当的”意思， sick作“有病的”讲可用作表语，也可用作定语。
