短释义
If you have an urge to blink your eyes, move your head in a certain way, or clear your throat repeatedly, each of those movements can be described as tics. Some people make unintentional vocal sounds that experts call phonic tics. Some tics are completely involuntary, while others are more of a response to a strong urge. More generally, you can use this word for a word you use habitually when you speak or write. If you participate in a formal debate, you’ll want to eliminate your tic of saying “um” at the beginning of sentences.
当肌肉突然移动或痉挛时,就是抽动。您也可以将抽动视为一种习惯性运动。

如果您有眨眼睛、以某种方式移动头部或反复清喉咙的冲动,这些动作中的每一个都可以被描述为抽动。有些人无意中发出声音,专家称之为“语音抽动”。有些抽动完全是无意识的,而另一些则是对强烈冲动的反应。更一般地说,您可以使用这个词来表示您在说话或写作时习惯使用的词。如果你参加正式辩论,你会想要消除在句子开头说“嗯”的抽搐。
