北师大版高中英语选修模块6 Unit16 Lesson3: She's been in the hospital for a week because she has a severe case of the flu. (Page11) 上句中in the hospital对不对?
解释:
in hospital的意思是“住院”。此处hospital是一个抽象名词。
While John Gilbert was in hospital, he asked his doctor to tell whether his operation had been successful. 当约翰吉尔伯特住院的时候,他问医生他的手术是否会成功
in the hospital有两种意思。一是“在医院”,可能是在医院工作,也可能是看望病人,the hospital是具体指某个地点的名词。二是“住院”,根据上下文此处hospital是特指某个具体的医院,意为“在这个/那个医院住院”。
In the hospital, where their family member lay gravely ill, the relatives gathered in the waiting room. 家属全部聚集在医院的等候室,守着他们病重的家人。
She had been in the hospital for nearly a month after reportedly suffering an epileptic seizure and cardiac arrest. 在被曝出受癫痫折磨后,她在医院住了将近一个月。
课本中in the hospital 可改为in hospital,两者都正确。
