喜樂美語
  1. 1n/ˌem ɑːr ˈaɪ/body scanning with magnets磁振造影

    A way of making pictures of the inside of a person's body for medical reasons, using strong magnetic fields.

    文法不可數名詞：通常不加 a/an，也不加 -s 來表示複數。

    MRI 是三個字母，要一個一個唸。全名是 magnetic resonance imaging。它靠很強的磁場，拍出身體裡面的樣子。這個意思講的是「這套方法」。所以它不可數。前面不加 a，也不加 s。說 MRI is used to... 就對了。要講「一張片子」或「做一次」時，英文會換成可數的 an MRI。

    示範例句 · Example

    MRI uses a strong magnetic field, so you must leave metal things outside the room.

    中文翻譯磁振造影使用一個很強的磁場，所以你必須把金屬的東西留在房間外面。

    MRI is a set of letters, said one at a time: M-R-I. It stands for magnetic resonance imaging. In this meaning the word names the method itself, so it is uncountable: MRI is used to check the brain, the hospital offers MRI. It takes no a and no plural here. When you want to talk about one picture, or about one time a person goes through it, English switches to the countable form: an MRI.

  2. 2n/ˌem ɑːr ˈaɪ/an MRI image磁振造影影像

    A picture of the inside of someone's body, made with MRI equipment.

    文法可數名詞：前面可以加 a/an，要表示複數時常常加 -s。

    這個 MRI 指「拍出來的那張影像」。它可以數。所以會說 an MRI、two MRIs。前面一定要有 an、the 或 her 之類的字。要注意是 an，不是 a。因為 M 唸 em，開頭是母音。常搭的動詞有幾個。病人用 have。醫護人員用 take。影像自己當主詞時用 show。醫生看片子用 read。

    This is the countable one: an MRI, two MRIs, the MRI. It names the result — the image the doctor looks at. Because it is countable, it needs a word in front of it: an MRI, the MRI, her MRI. Note that it is an, not a, because the letter M is said em and starts with a vowel sound. The common verbs around it are have (the patient), take (the staff), show and read (the picture and the doctor).

    常見搭配

    • have an MRI

      照磁振造影

      to be given this test and get the picture

      She had an MRI last week and is waiting for the result.
