如今,人人都很注重健康,每年做个体检是必不可少的。那么问题来了,“体检”用英语该怎么说呢? 有同学可能会说,身体=body,检查=check,“体检”不就是body check 嘛~ 如果真这么翻译的话,可就闹笑话啦。因为正确的表达:A checkup is a medical examination by your doctor to make sure that there is nothing wrong with your health.You should have an annual medical checkup. His condition made me realize the importance of regular checkup. 这个词侧重于“体能检查”,比如要去参军,或者参加其他特定职业之前进行的身体检查。在美剧《生活大爆炸》中,Leonard要去北极考察,但是没有提前告诉Penny,接着就有了下边的对话:Penny: Sheldon says you're going to the North Pole. Leonard: Yeah. Pretty cool, huh? Oh, well, it all happened kind of fast. And we had to get physicals and buy thermal underwear. -是啊,很酷吧。领导的决定比较突然,现在我们都忙着体检、买保暖内衣。有同学可能会问,那么坐地铁、飞机时,进行的“安检”又该怎么说呢?Excuse me, please put all the metal objects in the box and walk through here for security check. 您好,请把所有的金属物品放在箱子里,从这里走过去接受安全检查。
