當生病難受就要趕緊去醫院看看，你是不是想到了英文“go to hospital”?但其實在英語國家“go to hospital”不是這么用的，它本身完全沒問題，問題就在于中西文化的差異，它真正的意思和我們中文說的“去醫院”并不完全相同。那么英文中怎么說去醫院看醫生呢?

如果身體不舒服，我們常說“去醫院”，而外國人則常說“去看醫生”。這兩個有什么區別呢?hospital在英文里指的是綜合大醫院，并且有住院的意思所以當你說你要go to hospital的時候，外國人會認為你病的很嚴重或者有外傷。并且到了要住院的程度，非常容易產生誤會。

在他們的認知里，感冒發燒或者某些小病，一般就找家庭醫生，或是去診所(clinic)。

這個叫：

see a doctor 看醫生

go to a doctor 看醫生

例：

I’ll see a doctor on Monday.

我星期一去看醫生。

注意

go to hospital和go to the hospital千萬別混淆

The difference is that “go to hospital” means that you are or will be a patient in the hospital.

它們倆的區別就在于“go to hospital”的意思是你現在是或將是這個醫院的病人。

“Go to the hospital” means that you are not a patient. You are going there for some other reason.

“Go to the hospital”就不含有你是病人的意思。你可能是有其他的原因要去醫院這個地方而已。

So, “he had to go to hospital” means he was admitted as a patient there, and “he had to go to the hospital” means that he was there in some other capacity than as a patient, as in “He had to go to the hospital to pick up his mother , who is being released.”

所以，“he had to go to hospital”這句話就含有他是這個醫院被確診的病人的意思，“he had to go to the hospital”則意味著他以病人以外的其他身份在那里，就跟這句話“He had to go to the hospital to pick up his mother , who is being released.”(他得去醫院接他要出院的母親。)似的。
