nciku Note

病 vs. 疾病

这两个词都表示生理或心理的不健康状况。“病”(名)表示具体的病患,如“心脏病、眼病、精神病”等;“病”(动)表示患病、得病。“疾病”(名)一般是病的总称,较正式,也可用于抽象意义。
Both words mean “illness.” 病 (n.) means “a particular disease”, e.g. heart disease, neuropathy etc. 病(v.) means “to be ill." 疾病 (n.) is a general term for ailment, which is more formal and can be used figuratively.
(1) 我生病了,需要在家休息几天。
(2) 他因病请假两天。
(3) 他病得很严重。
(4) 冬天来了,要防止呼吸道疾病的发生。
这里“疾病”是总称。
疾病 here is a general term.
习惯上也常说“一种疾病”、“某种疾病”,虽不是总称,但是仍然比较正式。用于抽象意义时,可以说:
One can usually say 一种疾病(a kind of illness) or 某种疾病(an illness), which sounds rather formal. When it is used figuratively, one can say:
(5) 犯罪是一种社会疾病。
另外,“有病”、“得病”、“患病”、“治病”等都是习惯搭配,不用“疾病”。
Moreover, 有病 (to have an illness), 得病 (to have gotten ill 患病( to have gotten ill 治病 (to cure an illness), etc. are all commonly used phrases, where 疾病 is not used.
