| 词组 | pain |
| 释义 | 1．说“痛”用 pain, a pain 和 pains 都可以，例如：I have pain in the stomach. I have a pain in the stomach. There is a pain in my stomach. I have pains in the stomach.和 I have pains all over.但 I am in pain 里的 pain 前面不可加上 a，也不可改作复数形式 pains。 2．说“努力”或“辛劳”必须用复数形式 pains，但不一定被当作复数，如下面每组里的两句都可以说（第一句比第二句普通）： 但只可说much pains 和little pains，不可说many pains 和few pains。much pains 和little pains 也往往被当作复数。 3．at pains（努力）后面接不定式或以 that 引导的从句，take pains 后面接不定式或 in 和动名词或 with 和名词。例如： I have been at some pains to secure the best available texts for the various selections included. He was at pains that people should not misunderstand him.（他努力使人们不误解他。） They are taking great pains to master English. They are taking great pains in studying English. You will be successful if you take pains with your work. 4．He is at pains to learn the facts 和 He is at the pains of learning the facts 意思相同。注意在第一句里不可在 pains 前面加上 the。 5．I am pained to see this 和 She was pained to hear of his death 和 He looks pained 等句子里的 pained 都指精神上的痛苦。pained 现在很少指肉体上的痛苦，如通常不说 He is wounded and pained，该把 pained 改作 in pain。 6．The wound in my arm is paining 里的 paining 作“给（我）痛苦”解，My arm is paining 里的 paining 可以说也作“给（我）痛苦”解，但也可以作“受到痛苦”解。 7．on（或 under）pain of（假使违犯了便要受……的处罚）中没有 the，比较下面每组里的两句： 8．关于 a pained look（一个痛苦的神情）等，参见 much 3 (5) E |
