正确表达You look sick — you should see a doctor today.
doctor 作动词时不表示“看病、就医”,不能像中文“看医生”那样直接当动词用;表示去看病要用 see a doctor / go to the doctor,这里的 doctor 是名词。把动词 doctor 换成 see a doctor,句子意思才与“你应该去看病”一致。

doctor 表示“往饮料里掺东西、下药”时是及物动词,直接接被动手脚的饮料作宾语,不加介词 in;中文“在咖啡里下药”带有“在……里”,学习者易误加 in。去掉 in,doctor 直接带宾语 his coffee 即可。

doctor 表示“掺入某物”时,掺入的材料用 with 引出(doctor sth with sth);by 用于引出方式或施动者,不能引出掺入的材料。中文“用伏特加”里的“用”容易误导成 by,改成 with 才符合 doctor 的介词搭配。

falsify 更正式,多用于法律、财务语境,强调造假行为本身;doctor 更口语化,侧重偷偷做手脚使内容失真,还可指往饮料里掺东西。
