本課簡(jiǎn)介
越來(lái)越多的美國(guó)人會(huì)在一生中或多次地經(jīng)歷驚嚇癥。驚嚇癥的癥狀與心臟病的癥狀極其相似，于是得了驚嚇癥的人往往誤認(rèn)為自己得了心臟病。那么驚嚇癥與心臟病如何區(qū)別？心臟病的癥狀只是氣急和疼痛，而驚嚇癥則會(huì)有如下的表現(xiàn)：1）對(duì)一些極尋常的情況驚恐不安；2）氣急、胸痛。心跳加快，突然發(fā)抖，周圍的人或物變得虛幻；3）恐懼死亡或瘋狂；4）發(fā)病年齡在20-30歲；5）女性多于男性； 6）癥狀多樣化；7）大量飲酒和使用藥物的人多發(fā)。驚嚇癥雖然不會(huì)對(duì)人的生命產(chǎn)生直接危害，但是專家們建議好向醫(yī)生咨詢，如果確實(shí)患有驚嚇癥，則需要心理和藥物治療。
本課主要語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)
1.…suddenly had severe pains in her chest accompanied by shortness of breath.
哪個(gè)部位的疼痛，通常用pain in…來(lái)表示，比如：a pain in the abdomen（腹部疼痛），a pain in the chest（胸部疼痛）。當(dāng)然我們也可以用abdomen pain，chest pain 來(lái)表達(dá)。而a pain in the neck 則是指“令人討厭或惱火的人或事”）。
pain是個(gè)常用詞，可以做名詞用也可以做動(dòng)詞用。
1）No pains， no gains.（不勞則無(wú)獲。）
2）Father went to great pains to stress the importance of independence.（父親煞費(fèi)苦心地強(qiáng)調(diào)獨(dú)立的重要性。）

2） Pneumonia is often accompanied by fever and cough. （肺炎常常伴有發(fā)燒和咳嗽。）
2.Her husband immediately rushed Anne to a nearby hospital where her pains were diagnosed as having been caused by panic， and not a heart attack.
請(qǐng)注意“rush”在本句中的用法。在此作及物動(dòng)詞用。如：
1）He rushed the tourists round the sights. （他帶著游客們匆匆參觀了各處名勝。）
2）The ambulance rushed him to a hospital.（救護(hù)車火速送他進(jìn)醫(yī)院。）

1）His failure was diagnosed as being caused by carelessness.（他的失敗被判定為由粗心所致。）

因?yàn)榫渥又械腶s是介詞，在介詞后要用動(dòng)名詞，又由于需用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)，所以出現(xiàn)了having been caused by的形式。
