  Common, everyday word for causing worry over a specific matter; often used in the passive (be troubled by) or in questions like What's troubling you; works with both people and abstract concerns.

  trouble是常见的日常用词，指为某件具体的事而让人担忧；常用被动式表达“感到烦恼”，也常出现在类似“是什么让你心烦”这样的疑问句中；可以用于人，也可以用于抽象的忧虑之事。

  是什么让你这么心烦？你今晚几乎都没说话。

• disquiet 本词

  More formal and literary; suggests a vague, unsettling unease rather than worry about one specific problem, and is often used to describe how an atmosphere or news affects a group of people.

  disquiet更正式、更书面化，强调一种模糊、弥漫的不安感，而不是针对某个具体问题的担忧，常用来描述某种气氛或消息给一群人带来的影响。

  A vague disquiet spread through the crowd as the results were announced.

  随着结果的公布，一种莫名的不安在人群中蔓延开来。

Trouble and disquiet both mean to make someone worried. Disquiet is literary, suggesting a vague, spreading unease. Trouble is everyday, usually about worry over one specific thing. Trouble's other senses, 'a problem' and 'to ask for help', and disquiet's noun sense are not compared here.

trouble和disquiet在表示“让人担忧、不安”时意思相近，但disquiet更书面、更强调一种模糊而弥漫的不安感，trouble则更口语化，多指因具体的事而烦恼。这里不比较trouble作名词表示“麻烦，困境”的用法，也不比较trouble作及物动词表示“请求，麻烦（某人做某事）”的用法，也不比较disquiet作名词表示“不安，忧虑”本身的用法。
