2.“it seem like/as if/as though...”表示“看上去好像…”，例如：It seemed as if the end of the world had come.（那时看上去好像世界末日到来了一样。）
3.“run/do a test”意思是“做检查”，例如：They don't know what's wrong with her yet - they're running/doing tests.（他们还不知道她怎么了——他们正在查。）
4.文化洗礼
美国护士等级划分
美国护士主要分为三个等级，由上而下分别是Registered Nurse、Licensed Practical Nurse（加州称为Licensed Vocational Nurse）和Certified Nursing Assistant。
Registered Nurse - RN（注册护士）
RN是护理人员施行护理全过程的掌控者，从接受病人开始，到利用各种方法搜集病人的主、客观资料，做初步的护理评估。同时就搜集的资料做护理分析，并提出正确的护理诊断和适当的护理计划。美
国的医院大多为开放医院制，医生一般都在医院外开设诊所，大部分时间内并不在医院内，所有病人的问题都必须由RN立刻做出判断或与主治医生讨论后解决。因此RN必须具备独立的判断能力，能在不
同临床情况下作出安全正确的决定。
RN是专业人员，无论在美国的任何一州都必须通过执照考试，取得该州的执照后，才能在该州工作。
Licensed Practical Nurse ( Licensed Vocational Nurse ) - LPN (LVN)（职业护士）
其职责是在RN的监督及指导下，掌握基本的护理知识和技术，以执行并完成由RN制定的护理计划。所以其职责较俯重于护理技术方面，比如伤口护理、无菌技术、给药打针等。
LPN/LVN和RN-样，也必须通过护士执照考试，取得所在州执照后，才能在该州工作。
Certified Nursing Assistant - CAN（助理护士）
又称为Nurse Aide，其工作偏重于病人的个人起居和卫生护理，例如擦澡、换床单、翻身、量体温等。助理护士不能给药、打针，也不能！从事任何的无菌技术。
CAN被视为一般劳工，不需要通过执照考试，只要通过一个简单的护理技术考试，取得一张证书即可工作。
