doctor, 博士or医生?
在英国无论是否取得医学博士学位的注册内科医生都叫doctor,但是有资质的外科医生通常叫自己为Mr/Mrs/Miss等。在美国,牙医和兽医和内科与外科医生一样都叫做doctor。虽然习惯上,拥有phd学位的人拥有doctor的头衔,这种称呼理论上不算错,但是在学术圈以外,这种称呼可能被认为有些吹嘘的成分,并且有时会导致与作为医生的doctor产生混淆。
doctor n.
1. “医生”的正确说法是a medical doctor, 但通常仅称doctor。 doctor在美国泛指“医生,大夫”,简称为Dr,但在英国,外科医生不用doctor,而用surgeon;牙科医生用dentist。
2.“看医生”(即去看病)可说 see(或 consult) a doctor,而不说 look (watch) a doctor; “请医生”可说 send for (call in) a doctor 或 get (fetch) a doctor,而不可说invite a doctor 。
3.doctor还表示大学里的最高学位:博士(学位获得者)。如:Ph.D.为Doctor of Philosophy的缩写,本意为“哲学博士”,统指“博士”。如:
Doctor of Medicine ; Doctor of Education.
He plans to study for his Ph. D. in Physics at Oxford.
4.doctor偶尔也被用作定语。如:
How is your doctor brother?
Tell me something about your doctor friend Tom.
5. what the doctor ordered原意为“医生让做的事情”,现均转义为“最需要的事情”, 常用于口语中。医生让你做的事情当然就是最需要的事情了。如:
After a hard day at work a nice meal at home is just what the doctor ordered.
