Phrasal verbs and idioms are frequently used in everyday English. They are also used in more specific language as equivalents for special terms. The use of phrasal verbs and idioms by native patients and health care workers makes their communication easier and less confusing. Non-native medical workers often come across with English phrasal verbs (idioms) in authentic texts and communication. They should be able to recognize them and after analyzing their meaning include them into their own active vocabulary (Ref. 5).
短语动词和习语在日常英语中经常被使用。它们也在更专业的语言中作为特定术语的同义词使用。母语为英语的患者和医护人员使用短语动词和习语会使他们的交流更轻松、更不易产生混淆。非英语母语的医护人员在真实文本和交流中经常会遇到英语短语动词（习语）。他们应该能够识别这些短语动词和习语，并在分析其含义后将它们纳入自己的常用词汇中（参考文献5）。
