是。严格来说,这两个表达式具有不同的含义。首先, Asphyxiation是当大脑的氧气供应中断时(例如当动物或人被窒息或溺水时)使用的一种表达。另一方面, suffocation只是指通过阻塞空气(例如烟或气)的供应或流动而导致死亡的过程。示例: The cause of death was suffocation from smoke inhalation. (签名是Asphyxiation can be caused by drowning.吸入烟气Asphyxiation can be caused by drowning.窒息。)示例: Asphyxiation can be caused by drowning. (可能会因溺水而窒息。)
