实用口语：流感要找医生“诊断”
<p>6月11日，世界卫生组织正式宣布把<span word="H">H</span>1<span word="N">N</span>1流感警戒级别提升至6级，这就意味着世卫组织认定疫情已经成为全球性的流行。</p><p>所以大家还是不能掉以轻心，有病就得去医院，当务之急就是找医生对病情进行诊断，这个诊断，英文叫做<span word="diagnosis">diagnosis</span>。</p><p>如：<span word="Her">Her</span> <span word="fever">fever</span> <span word="led">led</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="diagnosis">diagnosis</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="pneumonia">pneumonia</span>.</p><p>她的高烧被确诊为肺炎。</p><p>有些病情比较复杂，不好一下子确诊，还有些病即使一时能诊断出来，但未来的发展如何不好判断，对后者，英文的说法是<span word="prognosis">prognosis</span>，一些字典里译成“预后”。</p><p>譬如：<span word="He">He</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="been">been</span> <span word="expexted">expexted</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="survive">survive</span>.<span word="But">But</span> <span word="this">this</span> <span word="prognosis">prognosis</span> <span word="now">now</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="good">good</span>。</p><p>他没指望能活下去，但是，他的治愈前景还不错。</p><p>预后乐观，是<span word="favarable">favarable</span> <span word="prognosis">prognosis</span>；不乐观则是<span word="doubtful">doubtful</span> <span word="prognosis">prognosis</span>或<span word="unfavorable">unfavorable</span> <span word="prognosis">prognosis</span>。</p><p>有趣的是，<span word="diagnosis">diagnosis</span>有动词形式，是<span word="diagnose">diagnose</span>；而<span word="prognosis">prognosis</span>则没有动词形式，若非要用动词，恐怕只好使用别的词了，如<span word="predict">predict</span> ,<span word="forcast">forcast</span>等。</p>
