正确表达My legs are aching after the long walk.
be 动词后面要用能作表语的词表示状态,这里表达“持续酸痛”要用 aching;ache 是名词或动词,不能直接跟在 are 后面。汉语“我的腿很酸痛”里的“酸痛”可以单独作谓语,学习者照搬成同形的 ache 就会出错。

英语句子必须有谓语动词,aching 不能单独充当谓语;表示过去某段时间里一直酸痛,要用过去进行时 were aching(或一般过去时 ached)。汉语的形容词谓语句“我的腿很酸痛”不需要 be 动词,直译时容易把谓语整个漏掉。

pain 是名词,不能放在 be 动词后说明身体部位“疼”;表示持续的酸痛要用 aching。汉语一个“痛”字既能作名词又能作形容词性谓语,学习者因此常把 pain 直接当成表语使用。
sore 多指局部发炎或一碰就痛,常与 throat、muscle 等具体部位连用;aching 强调持续的钝痛、酸痛,可作定语或表语,如 aching legs。两者都可描述运动后酸痛,但 sore 更突出触痛,aching 更突出持续不适。
painful 适用范围更广:既可指身体上的剧烈疼痛,也可指精神或经历令人痛苦;aching 通常指持续的身体钝痛、酸痛,虽然也可引申指令人心酸,但不如 painful 常用于抽象的痛苦。修饰疼痛程度时 painful 常暗示较强烈,aching 较温和。
throbbing 指随脉搏一跳一跳的搏动性疼痛,常修饰 headache、pain;aching 指持续不断的钝痛、酸痛,没有搏动感。若疼痛是一阵一阵跳着疼,用 throbbing;若是隐隐作痛、酸胀,用 aching。
