用法说明
recover, recuperate, convalesce
这三个词均可作“恢复(健康)”解。其区别在于：recover最常用，表示(使)健康“恢复”到过去或正常的状态，强调“康复”这一事实。recuperate较为正式，除了可表示恢复健康以外，它还可表示恢复精力、体力，和“挽回损失”等。convalesce侧重表示病后康复，尤其是从好转到完全康复的一个较长的过程。试比较：
She is recovering from a bad cold. 她的重感冒在好转。
The old man decided to go to the mountains to recuperate. 老人决定到山区休养。
He was sent to a nursing home to convalesce after leaving hospital. 出院后，他被送到一家疗养院去疗养。
A good night's sleep was all I need to recuperate from the stresses of the day. 我所需要的就是美美地睡它一觉以去除一天的压力。
