| 释义 | suffer A few sources of usage comment, Copperud 1970, 1980 and Heritage 1969 among them, say that suffer should be used with from rather than with when referring to a condition of health. Longman 1984 says "One suffers from a disease ... but suffer with is often used where actual pain is involved...." The evidence in our files shows that suffer is almost always used with from: • ... deeply disappointed that we were not suffering from bubonic plague —Roald Dahl, Someone Like You, 1953 • ... by which diet he controls a duodenal ulcer from which he suffers —Current Biography, September 1953 • The ladies wore their evening gowns, revealing lovely shoulders and bosoms not suffering from undernourishment —Upton Sinclair, Presidential Mission, 1947 • ... far too many of them suffer from nervous or heart disabilities —Hanson W. Baldwin, Harper's, April 1941 In fact, we have very little evidence from written sources of suffer ever being used with with, no matter what the meaning. That it is essentially an idiom of speech is perhaps sufficiently clear from this example: • Can't sleep a wink at night for crying; All my worries get renewed And I suffer with those all night blues —Gertrude (Ma) Rainey, "Those All Night Blues," recorded December 1923 |
