ill(生病的)可以用于名词前作定语吗

   《薄冰英语惯用法词典》指出：“ill (有病的）在现代英语中（特别是美国英语中），作定语的用法已日益普遍。例如：A hospital is a place where ill people stay and have treatment which should cure them. 医院是病人在那里接受治疗的地方。/ But like many ill men, they resented the well. 然而像许多病人一样，他们憎恨健康的人。/ The nurses were taking care of those wounded and ill soldiers. 护士门正在护理伤病员。”

    其它一些用 ill (有病的）作定语的例句：The ill people ...(Reading Faster)病人 ...... / ... in order to spend more time with his seriously ill wife ... (TIME)......为了跟重病的妻子多度过一些时光 ......（摘自赵振才：《英语常见问题解答大词典》增订版第四版）
