常见错误Common mistakes
易错句子He was sent to a ICU.正确表达He was sent to an ICU.
ICU 读作 /ˌaɪ siː ˈjuː/，第一个音素是元音 /aɪ/，所以不定冠词要用 an，不能用 a。
易错句子The hospital has two ICU.正确表达The hospital has two ICUs.
ICU 是可数名词，表示“重症监护室”，数量大于一时要用复数形式 ICUs；中文没有名词复数变化，所以容易漏掉 -s。
易错句子She was moved to the ICU unit.正确表达She was moved to the ICU.
ICU 的全称是 intensive care unit，其中 unit 已经有“病房/单元”的意思，再加 unit 会造成语义重复，直接说 the ICU 即可。

发音与拼写Pronunciation & Spelling
ICU is pronounced as three letter names: /ˌaɪ siː ˈjuː/, which sounds like "I see you". The final /juː/ rhymes with you, cue, view, few, due, and new. Beware lookalikes like icicle /ˈaɪsɪkəl/ and icky /ˈɪki/: their ic does not sound like the letters I C.
