医生为孩子开药英语可以说是 "prescribe medication for a child"。
"Prescribe" 这个动词的意思是 "to advise or order (a specific treatment, especially a medicine) to be taken or used",来自拉丁语 "praescribere",其中 "prae-" 是 "before" 的意思,"scribere" 是 "write" 的意思,因此 "prescribe" 原本的意思是 "to write before"。在医学上,"prescribe" 就指医生给病人开药方,或建议病人使用某种特定的治疗方法。
例句:
The doctor prescribed some pain medication for the child's headache. (医生给孩子开了一些止痛药。)
The pediatrician prescribed a course of antibiotics for the child's ear infection. (儿科医生给孩子开了一种抗生素治疗耳病。)
Can you please prescribe some allergy medicine for my child? (请问您能开点儿过敏药给我的孩子吗?)
