verb
----------------------------------

Editor: For the "groan" sense, I don't think 呻 is even a word, let alone a verb. It seems to be essentially a bound form, used to combine with other characters to form a word (呻吟, usually), but not used as a word in its own right.


- (动)(文) 吟诵。(GFC)
- 因痛苦或哀伤而发出的声音。(LAC)

無病呻吟 usage:

罹患心身症的孩子並非無病呻吟或為了不想上學而裝病,而是真的感到疼痛。
The children who suffer from these psychosomatic disorders aren't feigning illness to get out of going to school. They are truly in pain.

醫生則在有限的診療時間中,苦於無力安撫這些症狀千奇百怪、看似「無病呻吟」的病人。
With limited time for diagnosis and treatment, doctors strive fruitlessly to attend to these patients complaining of numerous odd symptoms, and often dismiss them as whiners.

再看「星星堆滿天」、「回家」的歌詞,「觸動的仍是傳統小女人的情緒,」並沒有什麼顛覆性。陳樂融認為,去年的作品裡,歌詞方面與以往並無太大的不同。不少音樂人也指出,生活化的歌詞雖然是這波新人的優點,少了無病呻吟,但另一方面,一樣「缺乏思想深度」。
Looking closely at the lyrics to "Going Home" and "A Sky Full of Stars," Chen says that "The feelings stirred are still those of a traditional young girl" and are nothing new. He believes that last year's songs offer nothing too different. Many in the business have also pointed out that, although life-related songs are the strong point of this wave of new singers and they are free of sticky sentiment, they also lack "depth of thought."

如今邁入咀嚼過往的「從心所欲」年紀,陳若曦的自傳,依然筆鋒犀利;她的寫作堅持──絕不無病呻吟。
Now just past 70, the age at which Confucius famously said he learned to follow his heart's desires, Chen has published a brave autobiography that shows her pen has lost none of its former incisiveness.
