【涨姿势】"去医院看病"还在说"go to hospital"?外国人会怎么"去看病"?

2015年11月03日 最英国



“想去医院看病”怎么说?记得以前老师和教科书上教的是“go to hospital”,其实,这是句“中国式”英语!


这句英语在语法和表述上并没有错,只是一个使用习惯的问题。它基本都是中国人在用,而外国人通常不这么说。

对于看病这件事,老外其实更喜欢说“看医生”~

In China if you are sick you go to hospital. In western countries you go to the doctor, and he works in his or her own practice (work place).


If you feel sick

I need to go to the doctor

(我要去看医生)

I’d like to see a doctor

(我想看医生)

I have a doctor’s appointment

(我和医生预约好了)

If you are weak

I need a doctor

(我需要一位医生)

I want to get a doctor

(我想找一位医生来)

Please send me a doctor

(请帮我派一位医生过来)

If this is an emergency

Please call me an ambulance.

(请帮我叫救护车)

I need an ambulance now.

(我现在需要一辆救护车)

Please get an ambulance.

(请找来一辆救护车)





当然,医生并非只有“doctor”这一种方式表述。根据专业不同,医护类的职业有以下这10种常见的:

其实,中国人爱说“去医院”,外国人爱说“看医生”,这之间不仅是文化差异,还有医疗体系间的差异。


外国人的医患关系比较融洽,而且医疗体系健全。除了大医院外,他们的诊所医疗也很可靠,不少人还有专门负责自己的医生。


这样的环境,自然觉得他们生病了该去找自己的医生,而非去医院“碰运气”!
