比较牛津高阶英英第九版和第十版释义：因何而delirious？
--------------------------------------
本人英语不行，这里只是发表偶然观察所得，毕竟在论坛潜水偷师一段日子了。
牛高第九版和第十版都说delirium一般为疾病所致，
可是看看delirious和deliriously的释义，在第十版用high temperature代替fever，
总不可能白天天气热就不认人，晚上天气热就 mumbled in delirium all night吧？
我还没说电脑发热，电脑主人becames delirious呢！
fever可不是难词，如果为了更浅白而改，这“高温”改得模糊了，也在三个相关词条中显得不统一。
