  1. 1nC2/ˌdaɪəɡˈnoʊsɪs/ · /ˌdaɪəɡˈnəʊsɪs/診斷

    示範例句 · Example

    The doctor made a diagnosis after looking at Leo's X-ray.

    逐字醫生在看了里歐的 X 光後做出了一個診斷。

    diagnosis 是「找出哪裡出問題」的過程或結論——醫生看症狀、做檢查，最後說出「是什麼病」。可以想成先「查清楚」再「下結論」，跟 treatment（治療）分開：要先有 diagnosis（弄清楚是什麼），才能開始 treatment（處理它）。也能用在機器、電腦故障。

core核心畫面

Picture a doctor looking at a set of signs — a fever, a rash, a test result — and naming which one illness fits them all. Diagnosis is that moment of putting a name on the problem, after looking closely and ruling the other names out.

可以想成：醫生看著一組線索——發燒、起疹子、檢驗數據——然後說出唯一能解釋這些線索的那個病名。diagnosis 指的就是「看清楚之後把問題叫出名字」這件事，重點在於「哪一個」，所以它背後永遠有一組被排除掉的其他可能。
