Greetings!
With winter cold season in full swing and hay fever season not far off, this time of the year can take a heavy toll on our bodies. So let's look at some of the ways our various working parts can malfunction when exposed to the elements.
SCRATCHY/SORE (THROAT) (のどが)いがらっぽい/痛い
- Your throat is scratchy if it tickles, itches, or feels rough and uncomfortable.
In general, a part of the body is sore if it is painful, especially when touched, or in the case of your throat, especially when you swallow. - のどが、むずむずしたり、かゆかったり、ひりひりしたりして落ち着かない状態をさすときに、scratchy と言います。
普通、体のどこかが痛い場合(特に触ったとき)、sore と言います。 のどが痛い場合(特に飲み込むとき)も sore を使います。
- My throat feels a little scratchy. I hope I haven't caught a cold.
- A spoonful of honey can help relieve (= make more comfortable) a scratchy throat.
- I'm afraid I won't be able to give my talk today. I've got a terrible sore throat.
- (to a football player)
Wow, that was a rough game! Your body must be sore all over. - After an hour in the smoky coffee shop, my eyes were red and sore.
See you again tomorrow!
