vt.折磨;使痛苦;使苦恼

给他人制造痛苦和烦恼就是afflict,它和现代单词inflict, conflict都带有同样的词素( fligere),拉丁文原意都是打击和针对他人的意思。它常见的主语包括病痛、问题等。

Urban planners and economists have been trying for years to find solutions to the plethora of traffic problems that  afflict  urban communities.

这些年来,城市规划专家和经济学家一直在寻找有效途径来解决这个令大众痛苦的交通问题。

与afflict相比较,inflict带有更多的自我承担的意思,比如:it's a problem that people inflict upon themselves(这是一个人们自己造成的问题)。而conflict(冲突)因为含有con-的前缀,则带来了相互影响和伤害的意味。

它的名词affliction包含伤痛,苦难的意思,比起suffering,它的程度更加平缓和书面化,美国新闻记者Finley Dunne在谈到新闻记者的使命时,他用这句话来概括:

Comfort the afflicted, and afflict the comfortable. 

为伤痛者疗伤,让安逸者不安

如果用suffer the comfortable,则意义就十分不准确了。
