The exception to this is its use in the phrase off sick (‘away on sick leave’) which is acceptable in British English. See also Usage Note at ILL. 在英国英语中，把释义 2 中的 sick 作为表语形容词使用，表示“ ill ”的含义，如 He had to cancel his holiday because he was sick (他因病取消了休假)被一些人认为是不够规范的，尽管在美国英语中这是标准用法。例外的情况是对于短语 off sick (休病假)的使用，这一用法在英国英语中是可以接受的。另见 ILL 的用法说明。 |
