常见误用提醒

使用 pathogenetic:This virus is very pathogenetic. → This virus is highly pathogenic. (pathogenetic 是形容词,但通常不直接修饰病毒等名词表示“致病性强”;应使用 pathogenic(致病的)或 highly pathogenetic(高度致病的)在适当语境中。)

使用 pathogenetic:He studied the pathogenetic of the disease. → He studied the pathogenetic mechanisms of the disease. (pathogenetic 是形容词,不能单独作名词使用;应搭配具体名词如 mechanisms、factors 等,形成完整短语。)

使用 etiological:The etiological reason for the accident is unclear. → The cause of the accident is unclear. (etiological 通常用于医学或科学语境,指疾病或现象的病因,不适用于一般事故;应改用更通用的词如 'cause'。)
