Basic Form Filling · 基础表格填写
basicHere's the new patient form. Please fill it out and bring it back when you're done.
这是新患者表格。请填好后拿回来。
Sure. Quick question — for 'Last Name,' do I put my family name? In China we write family name first.
好的。问一下——Last Name 是填姓氏吗?在中国我们姓在前面。
💡 美国表格中 Last Name = Family Name = Surname = 姓。First Name = Given Name = 名。中间名(Middle Name)大多数中国人没有,填 N/A 即可。一定要和护照/ID 上的拼写一致。
Yes, exactly. Last Name is your family name. So if your name is Wei Zhang, 'Zhang' goes under Last Name and 'Wei' goes under First Name.
是的,没错。Last Name 就是你的姓。如果你叫 Wei Zhang,Zhang 填在 Last Name,Wei 填在 First Name。
Got it. And for the address — do I write the apartment number before or after the street?
明白了。那地址呢——公寓号写在街道前面还是后面?
💡 美国地址格式:门牌号 + 街名 + Apt/Unit 号(如 123 Main St, Apt 4B)。和中国相反,美国地址从小到大写。Apt 是 Apartment 的缩写。
After. Write the street number and name first, then 'Apt' or 'Unit' and the number. Like: 456 Oak Avenue, Apt 3C. City, state, and zip go on the next line.
在后面。先写门牌号和街名,然后写 Apt 或 Unit 加号码。比如:456 Oak Avenue, Apt 3C。城市、州和邮编写在下一行。
Perfect. One more — it says 'SSN.' I don't have a Social Security number. What do I put?
好的。还有一个——上面写 SSN。我没有社会安全号码,填什么?
💡 SSN(Social Security Number)是美国的个人身份号码,格式为 XXX-XX-XXXX。国际访客通常没有 SSN。可以填 N/A(Not Applicable,不适用),或者问工作人员是否可以用护照号替代。不要编造假号码。
Complex Forms & Special Fields · 复杂表格与特殊字段
intermediateWelcome. To open an account, I'll need you to fill out this application. Some fields might be new to you — let me know if you have questions.
欢迎。开户的话需要您填写这份申请表。有些字段你可能不太熟悉——有问题随时问。
Thanks. What does 'Marital Status' mean? And what are the options?
谢谢。Marital Status 是什么意思?有哪些选项?
💡 Marital Status(婚姻状况)常见选项:Single(未婚)、Married(已婚)、Divorced(离婚)、Widowed(丧偶)、Separated(分居)。有些表格还有 Domestic Partnership(同居伴侣关系)。
That's asking if you're married. The options are Single, Married, Divorced, or Widowed. Just check the one that applies to you.
那是问你是否结婚了。选项有 Single(未婚)、Married(已婚)、Divorced(离婚)、Widowed(丧偶)。勾选适合你的就行。
OK, single. Next it says 'Employer Name' and 'Occupation.' Is Employer my company name and Occupation my job title?
好的,未婚。下面写着 Employer Name 和 Occupation。Employer 是公司名,Occupation 是职位吗?
💡 Employer = 雇主/公司名。Occupation = 职业类别(如 Engineer, Teacher),不完全等于 Job Title(职位名称,如 Senior Software Engineer)。如果是自雇,Employer 填 Self-employed。学生填 Student,Employer 填学校名或 N/A。
Almost. Employer is the company you work for. Occupation is more general — like 'engineer,' 'teacher,' or 'student.' If you're self-employed, write 'Self-employed' for both.
差不多。Employer 是你工作的公司。Occupation 更笼统——比如 engineer、teacher 或 student。如果你是自雇的,两个都写 Self-employed。
Got it. Last question — there's a checkbox that says 'I certify that the information provided is true and accurate.' Does checking this box mean I'm signing the form?
明白了。最后一个问题——有个勾选框写着 I certify that the information provided is true and accurate。勾选这个是不是等于签名了?
💡 在美国,勾选 'I certify...' 或 'I agree...' 的声明框在法律上等同于签名认可。提供虚假信息可能构成欺诈。always 如实填写。电子签名(e-signature)在美国具有法律效力。
