Uterus：子宮

美國新國務卿賴斯在即將走馬上任之時遇到了一點麻煩——50歲的她剛在華盛頓接受了子宮纖維瘤阻塞法手術。盡管這只是個小手術，但還是牽動了世界各國媒體的神經。據悉，賴斯現已回到白宮辦公室正常上班。外電報道如下：National security adviser Condoleezza Rice returned home Saturday after a one-night hospital stay where she was treated for noncancerous growths in her uterus.

"She's out of the hospital and doing well," said White House spokesman Fred Jones.

Rice had uterine fibroid embolization at Georgetown University Hospital on Friday.

Uterus表示“子宮”，其形容詞為uterine，例如：uterine contractions（子宮收縮）uterine cake（胎盤）。此外，uterine還有“同母異父的”的含義。例如：Is she your elder full sister or uterine sister? Neither, she is my consanguine sister.（她是你的親姐姐，還是同母異父的姐姐？都不是，她是我同父異母的姐姐。）
