n. (名词)
  1. abortion 是由动词abort派生的名词,其意思与abort基本相同,指由于任何原因而使胎儿在未发育成熟时即从母体内堕出,现一般指为了避免生下婴儿或者为了治疗性地保住母亲的生命而在怀孕的前12周内用人工方法终止早期妊娠,即“人工流产,堕胎,打胎”。指抽象的行为时是不可数名词,指具体的堕胎手术时则是可数名词。
  2. abortion引申可表示计划、工程等因出问题而“中途失败”或“夭折,中止”,是可数名词。此外,abortion还可作“流产(或小产)胎儿”“畸形人;怪物;丑陋无比的东西”解;在美国口语中abortion还可表示“一团糟,混乱(局面)”和“拙劣的表演,冒牌(货)”,这些都用作可数名词。
n. (名词)
abortion, miscarriage
  • 这两个词都有“非正常地将胎儿从子宫排出”的意思。其区别是:
  • 1.一般用语中,abortion可指自然流产,也可指人工流产,多指人工流产; 而miscarriage只指自然流产。
  • 2.医学用语中,abortion一般发生或施行于怀孕的前12周内,译为“流产”或“人工流产”; 而miscarriage一般发生于怀孕的第12周至28周之间,译为“早产”。
  • 例如:
  • She had two miscarriages.她流产两次。
  • My grandmother had five children and many miscarriages.我的祖母生了5个孩子,还多次小产。
