    「referral」是正式說法，核心意思是「把人（或事情）轉交給另一個能幫忙處理的人」。在醫院裡，中文常說「轉診」：家庭醫生開轉診單，讓你去看專科醫生。在學校、社福或服務機構，中文常說「轉介」：把需要幫助的人送到合適的單位。核心畫面可以想成「正式地把案件送過去」，不是隨便說「我覺得這家不錯」。常見搭配：a referral to a specialist、make a referral、get a referral。

core核心畫面

Picture a doctor writing a short note and saying, 'I can't treat this here — take this to the eye specialist.' The person or the problem does not stop with the first person; it gets passed along to someone better placed to handle it, and the note is the handover itself. A referral is that act of passing on, seen as a thing you can have, get, need or write.

可以想成醫生寫了一張紙條說：「這個我這邊處理不了，你拿這張去看眼科。」人或問題沒有停在第一個人手上，而是被往下送給更適合處理的人，那張紙條就是這個交接動作本身。referral 就是把「往下轉交」這件事變成一個看得見、拿得到的東西——你可以 have、get、need，也可以 write 一個 referral。
