urinary 是形容词,不能指尿液本身。“尿液”应使用名词 urine。此处被检查的对象是尿液,故用 urine。

Learner notes
Memory Tip
urinary 里藏着 urine(尿),想到 urine 再加 -ary,就是“尿的、泌尿的”。
Context & Register
语域:mixed 常见场景:medical records、clinical discussions、health education materials urinary 作形容词时通常用于医学、生理学等专业或正式语境,多出现在医疗记录和临床讨论中;日常口语里较少单独使用,更常见的是 urinary tract infection 这类固定搭配。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都与 urinary 的拼写或读音有关。urinary 读作 /ˈjʊərɪnəri/;urine 共享开头的 /ˈjʊə/ 音。ordinary、imaginary、culinary 的结尾都含 /nəri/,但重音不同,所以不算全押韵。library 和 necessary 只共享 '-ary' 拼写,发音分别为 /ˈlaɪbrəri/ 和 /ˈnesəsəri/,注意不要与 urinary 混读。
