    Chronic
    What you think it means: Severe。你以為單詞的含義是:劇烈的。
    What it really means: Over the course of a long time。單詞的真正含義是:歷時長久的。
    This is definitely one that people ought to know better. When you have severe pain, it is just severe pain. If you have chronic pain, you have been in pain for a long, long time. Chronic conditions and diseases are called chronic because they won’t go away and not because they’re overly severe。
    人們絕對需要好好了解這個單詞的含義。假設你受到劇烈疼痛,那它只是劇烈疼痛而已。如果你有chronic(慢性的)疼痛,那你可得很久很久地承受這疼痛了。慢性狀況和疾病之所以是chronic(慢性的),是因為它們不會消退,而不是說它們極其嚴重。
