“施行手术”常见的英文表达是 perform an operation 或 carry out a surgical procedure。
perform an operation:这是最常用、最直接的表述,“perform”有“执行、进行”的意思,“operation”即“手术” ,例如:The doctor will perform an operation on him tomorrow.(医生明天将为他施行手术。)
carry out a surgical procedure: “carry out” 意为“执行、实施” ,“surgical procedure” 指“外科手术程序”,这种表达相对更正式、书面一些,例如:The surgical team is well-prepared to carry out a complex surgical procedure.(外科手术团队已做好充分准备,将施行一项复杂的外科手术。)
