I have a terrible ______ in my chest. When I cough, it really hurts.
A) pain B) ache C) wound D) injury
I have a terrible ______ in my chest. When I cough, it really hurts.
A) pain B) ache C) wound D) injury
A。
因为B项ache意为“疼痛”，常指轻微的，连续不断的疼痛，以下是其常见搭配：backache背痛；headache头痛；stomach-ache胃痛；C项wound意为“伤，创伤”。例如：He died after receiving two bullet wounds in the head.他头部中了两颗子弹后死去了。D项injury意为“对肉体的损害，伤害”。例如：Excessive dosage of this drug can result in injury to the liver. 这句中药物服用过量会损害肝脏。以上三项都与题意不符，均应被排除。A项pain意为“痛，疼，痛苦”，以指具体某部位的痛，可能是剧烈的和突然发作的。注意以下常见疼痛：have a pain in one's back，chest, shoulder，etc．背痛、肠痛、肩膀痛等。A项与题意正好相符，故为正确答案。
