陷阱
⚠️ache（持续钝痛）vs. pain（泛指疼痛）：程度和类型不同
The patient described a sharp, stabbing pain in his chest that came on suddenly and was unlike anything he had experienced before.
✗
pain = ache（疼痛，隐痛，可以互换）
✓
pain（泛指疼痛，最通用，可以是急性剧痛也可以是慢性疼痛：sharp pain = 剧烈刺痛）；ache（持续的、钝的疼痛，通常不剧烈，如肌肉酸痛：muscle ache = 肌肉酸痛）；此句是「突发的刺痛」，属于急性剧痛，用 pain（加上 sharp, stabbing 形容词）准确；ache 不适合描述「突发剧烈」的感觉
患者描述了胸部突然出现的、剧烈的刺痛，与之前经历的任何感觉都不同。（sharp, stabbing pain = 急性剧痛，用 pain；ache = 持续钝痛，程度较轻）
⚠️headache / toothache / stomachache — 复合词连写，不加 an
✗
She had to leave work early because she developed a severe head ache that prevented her from concentrating.
她因为出现严重的头痛影响了注意力，不得不提前离开工作。（head ache 错误，应为 headache 一个词）
headache 是固定复合词，一个词连写（headache），不分开写成 head ache；toothache、stomachache 同理
✓
She had to leave work early because she developed a severe headache that prevented her from concentrating.
她因为出现严重的头痛影响了注意力，不得不提前离开工作。
近义辨析
ache vs long for
ache 渴望（ache to do / ache for = 渴望某事/某人，强调强烈的情感渴望，带有忧伤色彩） long for 渴望，期盼（long for = 渴望得到，同样含有期盼和情感色彩，但比 ache 更通用）
