Common mistakes
I have a nauseous.I have nausea.
nauseous 是形容词，意为‘令人作呕的’或‘感到恶心的’，不能用作名词。汉语中‘恶心’可作名词，导致学习者误用为名词。应使用名词 nausea。
I am nauseous to the smell.The smell makes me nauseous.
形容词 nauseous 描述状态，不能接介词 to 表示原因。正确表达是‘某物使某人感到恶心’，用 make + 宾语 + adjective 结构。

联想 nausea（恶心）+ 形容词后缀 -ous，读作“闹涩斯”，像晕车时胃里翻腾、一脸苦涩——令人作呕。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：medical descriptions、descriptive writing about smells or experiences 表示「引起恶心；令人作呕」时，nauseous 是标准用词，多用于一般描述或正式文本；日常口语表达「感到恶心」通常用 nauseated。本词条只收「令人作呕」这一义项。
Pronunciation & Spelling
nauseous /ˈnɒːʃiəs/ 以 /ʃiəs/ 结尾，没有完全押韵的常用同韵词。gorgeous、courteous、hideous 拼写都含 -eous，但分别读 /ˈɡɔːdʒəs/、/ˈkɜːtiəs/、/ˈhɪdiəs/，末尾并不相同；vicious、cautious 以 /ʃəs/ 结尾，与 /ʃiəs/ 接近但少了一个 /i/ 音。pious 的发音和拼写均相差较远。
