    The doctor ordered a simple diagnostic test to check Mei's cough.

    逐字醫生開了一個簡單的診斷測試來檢查美的咳嗽。

    「diagnostic」是形容詞，核心意思是「用來找出哪裡出問題」。它常放在名詞前面：diagnostic test（診斷測試）、diagnostic tool（診斷工具）。跟 diagnose（動詞：診斷）、diagnosis（名詞：診斷結果）同一個家族——diagnostic 標的是「做找出問題這件事用的」。How can we think of it? 核心畫面可以想成「幫忙找答案的檢查工具」，不只醫院，學校的 diagnostic assessment、電腦的 diagnostic check 也是同一條線。

core核心畫面

The adjective for the finding-out stage: whatever is there to work out what the problem is, before anyone tries to fix it. A test, a tool, a whole procedure can be diagnostic.

可以想成：這是「查原因」那個階段的形容詞——凡是為了找出問題出在哪而存在的東西都算，跟後面怎麼修沒有關係。檢查、工具、一整套程序都可以是 diagnostic。它是 diagnose 的形容詞形式。
