Common mistakes
The doctor gave me sonogram.The doctor gave me a sonogram.
sonogram 是可数名词单数,在泛指或首次提到时需要用不定冠词 a;中文没有冠词,所以学习者容易漏掉。加上 a 后才符合英语单数可数名词的用法。
The doctor took two sonogram of my baby.The doctor took two sonograms of my baby.
two 表示复数,后面的可数名词 sonogram 必须用复数形式 sonograms。把单数改成复数才能正确表达数量。

Context & Register

Pronunciation & Spelling
以美式音标为例,sonogram /ˈsɑːnəɡræm/ 与 monogram /ˈmɑːnəɡræm/ 押韵(重读元音及之后读音相同)。diagram、telegram、program、anagram、hologram 虽都以 -gram 结尾,但重读元音不同,与 sonogram 不押韵。
