短释义
Moan is also a verb, so whenever someone is hurting enough — physically or mentally — there’s the possibility they’ll moan in despair or discomfort. You can also use this word to mean “whine” or “complain,” like when your little sister moans about how much smaller her slice of pie is than yours. Experts think moan is related to the Old English word mænan, “complain or moan,” but that it’s also imitative — resembling the sound it describes.
当您感到疼痛时发出的低沉声音称为呻吟。严重的胃痛会让你弯腰,发出轻柔的呻吟声。

呻吟也是一个动词,所以每当有人在身体上或精神上受到足够的伤害时,他们就有可能在绝望或不适中呻吟。你也可以用这个词来表示“抱怨”或“抱怨”,就像当你的小妹妹抱怨她的馅饼比你的小得多时。专家认为“moan”与古英语单词“mænan”有关,“抱怨或呻吟”,但它也具有模仿性——类似于它所描述的声音。

词源
moan (n.)c. 1200, mon, “lamentation, mourning, weeping; complaining, the expressing of complaints; a complaint; lover’s complaint; accusation, charge,” perhaps from an unrecorded Old English *mān “complaint,” from mānan, a variant of mænan “complain, moan,” also “tell, intend, signify” (see mean (v.1)); but OED discounts this connection. Meaning “long, low inarticulate murmur expressing grief or pain” is by 1670s, “with onomatopoeic suggestion” [OED].Related entries & more

下面是词源的翻译(机器翻译比较难翻,参考着看)
呻吟 (n.)c. 1200, mon,“哀叹、哀悼、哭泣;抱怨、抱怨的表达;抱怨;爱人的抱怨;指控、指控”,可能来自未记录的古英语 *mān“抱怨”,来自 mānan,mænan“抱怨”的变体、呻吟”也可“告诉、打算、表示”(见意思(第 1 节));但《牛津英语词典》对这种联系不予考虑。到 1670 年代,意思是“表达悲伤或痛苦的长而低沉的低语”,“带有拟声暗示”[OED]。相关条目及更多
