“醫(yī)生”、“博士”都叫doctor，外國人都是怎么區(qū)分的？

Doctor is an academic title that originates from the Latin word of the same spelling and meaning. The word is originally an agentive noun of the Latin verb docēre [d??ke?r?] 'to teach'. It has been used as an academic title in Europe since the 13th century, when the first doctorates were awarded at the University of Bologna and the University of Paris.

Doctor是一個學術(shù)頭銜，起源于拼寫和意思都和它一樣的拉丁詞。這個詞最初是拉丁語動詞docēre [d?ke r?]“教”的施動名詞。自13世紀博洛尼亞大學(University of Bologna)和巴黎大學(University of Paris)授予第一批博士學位以來，這個頭銜在歐洲一直被用作學術(shù)頭銜。

Having become established in European universities, this usage spread around the world. Contracted "Dr" or "Dr.", it is used as a designation for a person who has obtained a doctorate (e.g., PhD).

這種用法在歐洲的大學里確立，并在世界各地傳播開來?？s寫的“Dr”或“Dr.”，是對獲得博士學位(如PhD，Doctor of Philosophy)的人的稱呼。

It is until the early 19th century the physician started using the doctor title, regardless whether they hold the doctorate or not (including MBBS and MD holder in other countries beside US that hold only bachelors degree level of education). This matter has already been brought to WHO, that decides the title doctor granted to them (including Dentist, Vets) as honorary calling because of their job contribution.

直到19世紀早期，doctor才開始被用作醫(yī)生頭銜，無論他們是否擁有博士學位(包括除了美國以外擁有學士學位的醫(yī)學畢業(yè)生)。這一情況由世衛(wèi)組織研究，決定因醫(yī)生有巨大工作貢獻而授予他們doctor(包括牙醫(yī)、獸醫(yī))的榮譽稱號。

在醫(yī)療行業(yè)，你如果想要被稱為doctor，你至少需要獲得Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery(內(nèi)外全科醫(yī)學士)或Medicine Doctor(醫(yī)學博士)的學位，否則你是不能從事相關(guān)工作的。

在實際生活中，沒有上下文的情況你是不太能知道doctor究竟是表示博士頭銜還是在說醫(yī)生的。我們需要更多的信息才能正確的理解這個詞。要通過語境來區(qū)分，如果在醫(yī)院大概率就是“醫(yī)生”，而在學校里就是“博士”。也經(jīng)常會有既是博士又是醫(yī)生的情況。

如果你想問一個人是不是博士，你可以說

Are you a doctor with a PhD?

如果你想問他是不是醫(yī)生，為了不引起歧義，英語中有更多表示醫(yī)生的用詞可以代替doctor：
