“體檢”千萬別翻譯成"body check"!

曾經(jīng)熬過的夜、吃過的各種重口味食物,報(bào)應(yīng)就清清楚楚地寫在體檢報(bào)告上了。今天我們來說說體檢的各種表達(dá)吧!

體檢

 

有兩種常見表達(dá),一種是:physical exam,即:身體檢查,這里的physical,意思是:身體的。另一種常見的說法則是:checkup(或check-up),兩種說法都很常見,大家可以替代使用。

check-up

/?t?ek.?p/

a medical examination to test your general state of health

體檢,健康檢查

She goes to her doctor for regular check-ups.

她去醫(yī)生那里接受常規(guī)體檢。

a dental check-up

牙齒檢查


常規(guī)檢查

temperature 體溫

the measurement of how hot your body is

測(cè)量你的身體有多熱

She had such a high temperature that she was immediately taken to hospital.

她發(fā)高燒,立即被送往醫(yī)院。

blood pressure 血壓

a measure of the pressure at which the blood flows through the body

一種測(cè)量血液流經(jīng)身體時(shí)的壓力的方法

The nurse will take your blood pressure in a moment.

護(hù)士會(huì)馬上給你量血壓。

to have/suffer from high/low blood pressure

患高/低血壓

pulse 脈搏

the regular beat of blood as it is sent around the body

血液在體內(nèi)循環(huán)時(shí)的有規(guī)律的搏動(dòng)

The doctor started the examination with taking my pulse and blood pressure.

醫(yī)生開始測(cè)我的脈搏和血壓。

 

體檢

 

去具體進(jìn)行某個(gè)體檢項(xiàng)目,

假如說,

你想檢查一下你的嗓子,

千萬別說

examine my throat,

而應(yīng)該用

have my throat examined

Please, notice the constructions: to be examined/ to have (your ears, your throat) examined...): clearly, here, the doctor is the "agent" (doing the action) and the patient is "enduring" the action. Therefore, the passive structure is used:

注意一下這個(gè)結(jié)構(gòu):to be examined/ to have (your ears, your throat) examined...)很顯然,在這里,醫(yī)生是施動(dòng)者(做這個(gè)動(dòng)作的人),而病人是接受這個(gè)動(dòng)作的人。所以,這里要用被動(dòng)。

To have one's .... examined

(past participle indicating that the throat is being examined. )

(過去分詞,表示咽喉正在被檢查)

- Lily will not have her teeth examined, but she had her ears examined.

莉莉不會(huì)去檢查她的牙,但是她檢查了她的耳朵。
