Question

diagnosis n.诊断 Diagnosis is a medical term, but you can diagnose lots of things: problems in a relationship, a coming economic crisis, or the reason the car won't start. If you have a sore throat, runny nose and a bad cough, most of the time doctors will diagnose a cold. If the car won't start and the lights and radio are also off, the diagnosis is simple: your battery’s dead. Anytime you determine the cause of a problem, you give a diagnosis. ★★☆☆☆ 2007.3

[daiəg'nəusis] When a doctor tells you why you're feeling ill, he gives you a diagnosis. He asks questions, checks your symptoms, and then identifies what's making you sick. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months. 1[N-VAR 可变名词]诊断（结论）；判断（结论） Diagnosis is the discovery and naming of what is wrong with someone who is ill or with something that is not working properly. I need to have a second test to confirm the diagnosis...我需要再进行一次检查以确诊。Symptoms may not appear for some weeks, so diagnosis can be difficult.症状可能在几周里都不会出现，所以诊断起来会比较困难。
