以下是几种摘自英语问题解答网的解释:
ACHE = dull, constant, ongoing pain 是一种隐隐约约的痛,持续不断的痛。
HURT = sharp pain, aching-pain 是一种剧痛,很痛楚的痛。
Usually I would say an ache could be described as a dull(隐约的) pain, that is, not neccesarily less painful(却不一定没有比"hurt"那麼痛), but a constant pain(但是持续的), usually from within the limb. On the other hand, "my knee hurts" could describe a sharp pain, or an aching pain.
It's difficult to describe, but I hope that helps you somewhat.
这里的意思与上面差不多。
I think that "ache" is a particular kind of pain, just as Elisabetta describes it, and that "hurts" is just another way of saying "gives me pain". "I hurt my knee" is different, though; it means that I injured my knee.
这个解释有一个重点和找出了两者间的明显分别,那便是"hurt"可以用作动词: 伤害 / 弄伤。而 "ache" 则没有有这个用法。
