文法句型

feel nauseated

be nauseated by something

用法筆記

Almost always predicative — comes after 'feel', 'be', 'look', or 'seem', not before a noun. Common triggers are introduced with 'by' (smells, motion, food) or 'at' (cruelty, behaviour). Distinguish from 'nauseous': in careful Taiwan ESL teaching, 'nauseated' = the person feels sick, 'nauseating' = the thing causes the sickness.

常見錯誤

The reheated curry was very nauseated.
The reheated curry was very nauseating.
the food causes the feeling, so use 'nauseating' for the trigger and 'nauseated' for the person.
