是。嚴格來說,這兩個表達式具有不同的含義。首先, Asphyxiation是一種在大腦等動物或人窒息或溺水的氧氣供應中斷時使用的表達方式。另一方面, suffocation只是指通過阻塞空氣(如煙或氣)的供應或流動而導致死亡的過程。示例: The cause of death was suffocation from smoke inhalation. (簽名是Asphyxiation can be caused by drowning.吸入煙氣Asphyxiation can be caused by drowning.窒息。)示例: Asphyxiation can be caused by drowning. (可能會因溺水而窒息。)
