    示範例句 · Example

    People with heart problems should talk to their physician before making the trip.

    逐字有心臟問題的人們應該在做這趟旅行之前跟他們的醫師談話。

    「physician」是英文裡比較正式的「醫師／醫生」說法，美式英語特別常用。它跟 doctor 指同一種工作：照顧病人、檢查身體、開藥；只是 physician 聽起來更正式，常見於美國表格、說明書或新聞。doctor 日常口語最常用；physician 是正式場合的標籤。跟 surgeon（外科醫師）比：surgeon 常指會開刀的醫生；physician 多半指一般看診、用藥物治療的醫師。拼寫上別跟 physicist（物理學家）搞混——兩個字長得很像，意思完全不同。

Picture the word on a hospital door or a name card: Dr. Chen, Physician. It points at the same person you would call a doctor, but in the register of forms, reports and American hospital signs — the trained medical professional, named formally.

可以想成醫院門上那塊牌子或名片上印的字：Dr. Chen, Physician。它指的就是你平常叫 doctor 的那個人，只是換到表格、報告、美國醫院招牌那種正式的場合裡講。日常對話說 I need to see a doctor 就好；physician 出現的地方多半是書面或制度性的文字。
