中式英語之鑒:physical constitution身體素質(zhì)

字號:

330. 他的身體素質(zhì)一直很差,終年疾病不斷。
    [誤] He has got very poor physical quality with continuous illnesses all the year round.
    [正] He has got very poor physical constitution with continuous illnesses all the year round.
    注:雖然“素質(zhì)”常翻譯成 quality,如:Do you think she possesses the necessary managerial qualities to do this job?(你認(rèn)為她具有從事這個工作所必須的管理素質(zhì)嗎?)但“身體素質(zhì)”卻要用 physical constitution(體格)來表達(dá)。
