n.(生理；心理上的)剧痛；刺痛

v.（使）感到剧痛

I feel a twinge in my back now and again. 我不时感到背痛。

But each time again there was a horrid twinge of conscience. 但同时，每一次又都要承受良心上的煎熬。

Remembering that promise. I felt a twinge of guilt. 忆起那个承诺。罪恶刺痛了我。

The letter still gives him a twinge when he thinks of it. 他一想起那封信就会感到一阵刺痛。
