1. 1nA2/ˈtʃekʌp/健檢;體檢

    A routine visit at which a doctor or dentist gives you a general examination.

    示範例句 · Example

    It's important to have regular checkups with your doctor.

    逐字跟你的醫生有定期健檢是重要的。

    「checkup」是「醫生或牙醫幫你做的一般健康檢查」,中文最自然說健檢或體檢。常見說法:have a checkup(去做健檢)、regular checkups(定期健檢)、dental checkup(牙齒檢查)、annual checkup(年度健檢)。核心畫面可以想成「不是因為生病才去,而是例行確認身體還好」。它跟 examination、check up 容易並排:checkup 是日常口語的「健檢」名詞;examination 比較正式,常指某一項專業檢查;check up(兩個字)是動詞片語,意思是「查核某人/某事」,不是健檢本身。

core核心畫面

Picture the appointment you make when nothing is wrong: the doctor listens to your chest, the dentist taps a few teeth, and the point is simply to look everything over while it is still fine. Not treatment for a problem — a routine look.

可以想成:身體沒事的時候還是去掛的那個門診——醫師聽聽心跳、牙醫敲敲牙齒,目的只是趁一切都還好的時候整個看過一遍。它不是為了治哪裡痛,而是例行地檢查一輪,所以中文說「健康檢查」最貼。
