有没有“紧张得肚子疼”？
<p>遇到特别重要的考试、面试，或者需要发言的场合，很多人都难免会紧张，而这种紧张最直接的体现就是肚子会轻微绞痛。这种反应自然不会是某个国家的人独有的，所以，英文里也有对应的说法。 <span word="Typically">Typically</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="humorous">humorous</span> <span word="word">word</span> <span word="referring">referring</span> <span word="to">to</span> '<span word="stomach">stomach</span> <span word="pain">pain</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="queasiness">queasiness</span>', <span word="collywobbles">collywobbles</span> <span word="also">also</span> <span word="refers">refers</span> <span word="figuratively">figuratively</span> <span word="to">to</span> '<span word="intense">intense</span> <span word="anxiety">anxiety</span> <span word="or">or</span> <span word="nervousness">nervousness</span>, <span word="especially">especially</span> <span word="with">with</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span> <span word="queasiness">queasiness</span>'. <span word="The">The</span> <span word="word">word</span> <span word="comes">comes</span> <span word="from">from</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="fanciful">fanciful</span> <span word="formation">formation</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="colic">colic</span> + <span word="wobble">wobble</span>, <span word="and">and</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="its">its</span> <span word="figurative">figurative</span> <span word="usage">usage</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="be">be</span> <span word="equated">equated</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="more">more</span> <span word="common">common</span> <span word="butterflies">butterflies</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>, <span word="belly">belly</span>. <span word="Referring">Referring</span> <span word="to">to</span> '<span word="a">a</span> <span word="fluttering">fluttering</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="nauseated">nauseated</span> <span word="sensation">sensation</span> <span word="felt">felt</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span> <span word="when">when</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="nervous">nervous</span>', <span word="the">the</span> <span word="phrase">phrase</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="often">often</span> <span word="clipped">clipped</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="just">just</span> '<span word="the">the</span> <span word="butterflies">butterflies</span>'.</p><p><span word="Collywobbles">Collywobbles</span>一般是“腹痛或恶心”的戏虐说法，有时也喻指“因为极度紧张或焦虑而伴随的腹部不适”，也就是我们通常说的“紧张得肚子疼”。这个词是由<span word="colic">colic</span>（腹部绞痛）和<span word="wobble">wobble</span>（摇摆）组合而成，这样的结合也是够炫目了。其实，这个词的比喻说法就相当于我们更熟悉的那个英文表达<span word="butterflies">butterflies</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="stomach">stomach</span>/<span word="belly">belly</span>，胃里/肚子里有很多蝴蝶，也就是紧张得发抖，忐忑不安的意思。</p><p><span word="For">For</span> <span word="example">example</span>:</p>
