“頭疼”是headache，那“我脖子疼”用英語怎么說？

其實用這兩個詞就可以

【 hurt/painful 】

The most common way of talking about pain in English is using the verb hurt. There are two main ways of using this verb: you can say that a part of your body hurts, such as “my ankle hurts,” or you can use “it hurts” when explaining something that is painful to do, like “it hurts to walk.”

在英語中談論疼痛的最常見方式是使用動詞hurt。 這個動詞主要有兩種用法：你可以說你身體的一部分然后它hurts，比如“my ankle hurts(我的腳踝疼)”;或者你可以直接說用“it hurts”再加些解釋，比方說“it hurts to walk.(走路的時候疼)”。

Also very common is the adjective painful. This is a simple way to describe any type of pain, for example, “my neck is painful.” You can also use the phrase “have a pain in” if you want to talk specifically about where your pain is. For instance, “after falling asleep on the bus, I had a pain in my neck.”

用形容詞painful表示疼痛也很常見。這是描述任何類型疼痛的一種簡單方式，例如，my neck is painful(我的脖子痛)。你也可以用have a pain in這個短語來表達你疼痛的具體部位。例如，在公共汽車上睡著后，I had a pain in my neck(我的脖子疼)。
