    示範例句 · Example

    I've got toothache, so Mum is taking me to the dentist after school.

    逐字我有牙痛，所以媽媽放學後要帶我去看牙醫。

    toothache 就是「牙齒在痛」這件事——重點是那個痛，不是那顆牙。它多半是持續的、悶悶的痛，一陣一陣不停，跟被撞到那種一秒就過去的刺痛不一樣。英文裡的 -ache 可以想成「一直沒停的痛」，所以身體部位後面接上它就成了一組詞：headache（頭痛）、backache（背痛）、stomach ache（肚子痛）、earache（耳朵痛）、toothache（牙痛）。學會一個，其他幾個的形狀也就懂了。

core核心畫面

Two plain words stuck together: tooth + . Picture the dull, steady hurting inside one tooth that will not let go — it stays with you through the afternoon, keeps you awake, makes you press your cheek. Not a quick sting but a pain that settles in and lasts.

可以想成兩個簡單的字直接黏起來：tooth（牙）＋ache（持續的疼）。畫面比較像某一顆牙裡面悶悶地、一直不放手地痛：整個下午都在，晚上睡不著，會忍不住用手按著臉頰。不是碰一下的刺痛，而是賴著不走的那種痛。
