檢查報告英文:正常、異常、需要追蹤怎麼聽懂
抽完血、做完超音波、拍完 X 光,幾天後你接到診所打來:「Hi, this is Dr. Lin's office calling about your test results...」這時候你心臟漏了一拍——對方接下來會講三個重點:是 normal(正常)、abnormal(異常)、還是 need to follow up(需要追蹤)。聽懂這三個方向,再接著問「對我代表什麼意思?」就能穩住整通電話。
本文僅教英文溝通,不提供醫療診斷或治療建議。實際結果請以你的醫師或檢驗單位的說明為準;如有疑慮請回診當面確認。

錯誤說法 vs 自然說法
| 不自然 / 不夠精準 | 自然說法 | 為什麼 |
|---|---|---|
| My result is good or bad? | Did my results come back normal? | 「good/bad」太籠統;用 normal/abnormal 才是醫療用語。 |
| I have problem with my blood. | One of my blood values is abnormal. | 直接講「血有問題」聽起來像猜測,講「某一個數值異常」比較精準。 |
| What I should do? | What are the next steps? | 詞序錯;用 next steps 是醫療通用問法。 |
| Is it dangerous? | Should I be worried? | 醫師通常不會用 dangerous;用 worried 較自然。 |
| I want my paper. | Could you send me a copy of the report? | paper 太口語、不指明文件;用 a copy of the report。 |
| Tell me again slow. | Could you say that again, more slowly? | 命令句太硬;用 could 軟化。 |
