| 释义 | diagnose Lurie 1927 disapproves of using the verb diagnose with a person as its object, even though there is often no other way of avoiding a stilted sentence. Several other more recent complaints have been lodged against this use, but not all of the commentary has been negative. Evans 1962 gives his approval: "there is bitter wisdom in the popular usage, for a man and his sickness are one.... It is a soothing fiction that the man "has" the malady; too often the malady has him." Because this use sounds very familiar in spite of the fact that we have only a relatively small amount of evidence for it in our files, we believe that it is more frequently found in speech than in writing. However, the usefulness of this sense of diagnose is manifest, and its use in writing may well increase. • ... the women ... have diagnosed themselves accurately —Joseph P. Donnelly, M.D., Redbook, March 1964 • ... Yang was diagnosed mentally ill —Alan M. Der-showitz, Psychology Today, February 1969 • Cindy was first diagnosed over a year ago ... as having a tumor —Janice Eidus, Johns Hopkins Mag., May 1977 • Dr. Root, the first to diagnose me correctly —Nan Robertson, N.Y. Times Mag., 19 Sept. 1982 |
