    1.disease泛指各种疾病,尤指传染病,遗传病和诸如心脏病、癌症等严重疾病; sickness多指晕船、恶心、胃病等方面的疾病或有关饮食方面的疾病; illness多指患病的状态及持续的时间,很可能是某种disease引起的,如不及时治疗,会导致严重的后果; sickness指各种身体上和感觉上一时的不适,病期最短,而disease病期最长。
    2.disease多指具体的疾病, illness和sickness则通常表示抽象的疾病或生病状态。例如:

    illness不具体指，而是泛指一切疾病，强调生病的时间或状态，语体较sickness正式一些。
    sickness较口语化，可与illness换用，但还可表示“恶心”。
    disease指具体的疾病，且通常较严重，发病时间也较长。
    complaint现代英语中，既可指症状，也可指疾病。
