comatose

五周前以色列总理沙龙因中风住院接受治疗以来,病情起起伏伏,一直处于昏迷状态。当地医院星期日表示,进行了紧急腹部手术以后,目前沙龙病情危急但状态稳定。

请看相关报道:Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who has beencomatosesince suffering a massive stroke more than five weeks ago, was in critical but stable condition Sunday following emergency abdominal surgery, the hospital treating him said.


comatose表示of, relating to, or affected with coma; unconscious,是"昏迷的,不省人事的"的意思,是医学术语。coma是comatose的名词形式,表示昏迷(状态)。

此外,除了上面比较正式的用法外,comatose这个词也可以表示"昏昏沉沉的,昏昏欲睡的"的意思,如:I always feel a bit comatose after dinner.(我在晚饭后总觉得有点昏昏欲睡。)
