不過,去醫院看病的英語可不是“go to hospital”,這是中式英語。你可能覺得奇怪,從語法和思路上來說這都沒錯,怎麼就“中式”了?

其實這個是習慣問題。由於國情和環境不同,對於看病這件事,地道的英語裡更喜歡用“看醫生”這個說法。

In China you are sick you go to hospital. In many western countries, when you see the doctor, he or she often has their own practice (work place).

(在中國如果你病了你會去醫院。在很多西方國家,當你去看醫生的時候,他們經常會有自己的診療場所)

I need to go to the doctor

(我要去看醫生)

I’d like to see a doctor

(我想看醫生)

I have a doctor’s appointment

(我和醫生預約好了)

I need a doctor

(我需要一位醫生)

I want to get a doctor

(我想找一位醫生來)

Please call a doctor

(請幫我找一位醫生來)

Please call me an ambulance.

(請幫我叫救護車)

I need an ambulance now.

(我現在需要一輛救護車)

Please get an ambulance.

(請找來一輛救護車)

當然,醫生並非只有“doctor”這一種方式表述。在國外,根據專業不同,醫護類的職業有以下這10種常見稱呼:

GP / General Practitioner(全科醫生)

A 'General Practitioner' is the name we give to a general family doctor who you see at a centre near where you live. The health centre is called a 'practice'.

(我們通常稱一個家庭的常規大夫為“全科醫生”,你可以在居住地附近的醫療中心找到他們,而這樣的地方通常被稱為“practice”)

其實,中國人愛說“去醫院”,外國人愛說“看醫生”,這之間不僅是文化差異,還有醫療體系間的差異。比如老外喜歡去診所看病,或者有自己專門的個人醫生。所以,在他們概念了病了以後就得去找“醫生”,而不是找“醫院”。
