长释义:
Sometimes, retch is used to literally mean "throw up," but it usually means to come very close to throwing up without actually vomiting. You might retch because you’re sick, or when you have to eat something you hate, like overcooked cauliflower. Retch is also a noun: "When I heard the retch from the bathroom, I knew he’d caught that stomach bug." Originally, to retch meant "to clear the throat."
有时,retch 的字面意思是“呕吐”,但它通常表示非常接近呕吐但实际上没有呕吐。您可能会因为生病或不得不吃一些您讨厌的东西而呕吐,例如煮过头的花椰菜。 Retch 也是一个名词:“当我听到浴室里的呕吐声时,我知道他得了胃病。”最初,干呕的意思是“清清嗓子”。
