surgery vs operation
「surgery」通常指外科手術這門醫學專業或手術過程本身；「operation」則更廣泛地指任何需要切開身體的醫療程序，或醫院的運作。
surgery vs procedure
「surgery」強調涉及切開身體組織的外科手術；「procedure」泛指任何醫療程序，範圍更廣，包含侵入性較低或非外科的處置。
surgery vs treatment
「surgery」是具體的一種醫療處置方式（手術）；「treatment」是涵蓋所有療法的總稱，包括藥物、物理治療、手術等。
在對話中，人們有時會引述或提及他人關於手術的談話。 EN: My doctor was like, "The surgery is very routine, nothing to worry about." 翻譯: 我的醫生當時說：「這手術很常規，沒什麼好擔心的。」
EN:She told me, "Recovery after surgery takes time and patience."
翻譯:她告訴我：「手術後的恢復需要時間和耐心。」
在非正式對話中，會用一些詞語來強調對手術的感受或重要性。 EN: I was so nervous before the surgery, you have no idea. 翻譯: 手術前我超緊張的，你根本無法想像。
EN:That knee surgery was a huge deal for his mobility.
翻譯:那次膝蓋手術對他的行動能力來說是件大事。
在組織思緒或尋找合適詞語時，可能會用填充詞來談論手術話題。 EN: The surgery... um... should improve her quality of life significantly. 翻譯: 這個手術...嗯...應該能大幅改善她的生活品質。
EN:He's considering, you know, surgery as a last resort.
翻譯:他在考慮，你知道的，把手術當作最後的手段。
正式寫作注意：在學術論文、醫療報告或正式信件中，應避免使用上述口語填充詞（如「um」、「you know」）或過於隨意的強調語（如「超緊張的」、「huge deal」）。請使用更精確、客觀的醫學術語與正式表述，例如「the surgical procedure」、「a significant medical intervention」或「postoperative recovery period」。
