当生病难受就要赶紧去医院看看，你是不是想到了英文“go to hospital”?但其实在英语国家“go to hospital”不是这么用的，它本身完全没问题，问题就在于中西文化的差异，它真正的意思和我们中文说的“去医院”并不完全相同。那么英文中怎么说去医院看医生呢?

如果身体不舒服，我们常说“去医院”，而外国人则常说“去看医生”。这两个有什么区别呢?hospital在英文里指的是综合大医院，并且有住院的意思所以当你说你要go to hospital的时候，外国人会认为你病的很严重或者有外伤。并且到了要住院的程度，非常容易产生误会。

在他们的认知里，感冒发烧或者某些小病，一般就找家庭医生，或是去诊所(clinic)。

这个叫：

see a doctor 看医生

go to a doctor 看医生

例：

I’ll see a doctor on Monday.

我星期一去看医生。

注意

go to hospital和go to the hospital千万别混淆

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

它们俩的区别就在于“go to hospital”的意思是你现在是或将是这个医院的病人。

“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医院这个地方而已。

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”这句话就含有他是这个医院被确诊的病人的意思，“he had to go to the hospital”则意味着他以病人以外的其他身份在那里，就跟这句话“He had to go to the hospital to pick up his mother , who is being released.”(他得去医院接他要出院的母亲。)似的。
