feelpain還是feelpainful

請看下面一道題：The operation was successful, but I still felt _________.
A. very painful            B. much painful       C. a lot of pain          D. very paining
【分析】此題很容易誤選A，想當然地認爲 painful 表示“感到疼痛的”，而其實 painful 的實際意思卻是“使人感到疼痛的”、“使人感到痛苦的”，所以它通常只能用來說明事物，不宜用來說明人。所以此題應選C。又如：

Does it still feel painful? 它還疼嗎？ My boots are still painful. 我的靴子仍夾得我的腳痛。He will never forget the painful experience for the rest of his life. 這一段痛苦的經歷，他永生難忘。上面一題的最佳答案爲C，pain 爲名詞，又如：Did you feel any pain? 你感覺痛嗎？
Where is the pain? 哪兒痛？

要用形容詞表示漢語的“感到疼痛的要AN>”，英語可用 pained。如：
We were all pained to hear of his death. 聽到他的死訊，我們都很痛苦。

He looked rather pained at your remarks. 聽了你的話他似乎很難受。
