Contusion
Contusion 是一个医学名词。它指的是由于撞击造成的皮肤下血管破裂(即淤青),但皮肤本身没有破裂。
- He suffered a severe contusion on his leg after the fall. (他在摔倒后腿部严重挫伤。)
- The X-ray showed no broken bones, only minor contusions. (X 光检查显示没有骨折,只有轻微的挫伤。)
- A contusion is different from a cut because the skin is not broken. (挫伤与伤口不同,因为皮肤没有破裂。)
- 词根:
-tud- / -tus-(击打,如 obtuse 钝的) - 含义:击打造成的伤。
联想 confuse (迷惑)。当你被打得青一块紫一块 (contusion) 时,你的大脑可能会感到很 confuse (迷惑)。或者记:con- (一起) + tus (敲击)。
The boxer had several contusions on his face after the intense match. (激烈的比赛后,拳击手的脸上有多处淤青。)
