易错句子He caught the coronary virus last winter.
正确表达He caught the coronavirus last winter.
冠状病毒的英文是 coronavirus（corona 意为“冠”），是一个词；coronary 是形容词，只表示“与冠状动脉有关的”，不能用来修饰 virus。中文“冠状”一词对应多个英文词，学习者常直接拼成 coronary virus。

易错句子The coronary examined the body to find the cause of death.
正确表达The coroner examined the body to find the cause of death.
coroner 是名词，意为“验尸官”，可以作主语指人；coronary 是形容词，表示“冠状的、冠状动脉的”，不能指人，也不能作主语。两词拼写、发音接近，容易混淆。

易错句子The MRI scan shows the brain in a coronary plane.
正确表达The MRI scan shows the brain in a coronal plane.
中文“冠状面”的英文是 coronal plane（也叫 frontal plane），其中的 coronal 表示“冠状的（切面）”；coronary 专指心脏的冠状动脉。中文“冠状”同时对应 coronal 和 coronary，因此容易误把 coronary 用在“冠状面”里。
冠状动脉

冠状动脉为心肌供血。
冠心病
