常见误用提醒

使用 health:I have a good health. → I am in good health. / I have good health. (中文常说"有好健康",但英语中"health"作为不可数名词,通常不与"a"连用;正确说法是"in good health"或直接说"have good health"。)

使用 health:He cares his health very much. → He cares about his health very much. ("care"作为动词时,常与介词"about"连用表示关心;正确句型是"care about something",所以这里应为"care about his health"。)

使用 healthful:This food is very healthyful. → This food is very healthful. (错误:误将 healthful 拼写为 healthyful,这是受 healthy 影响而产生的拼写错误。正确:healthful 是正确拼写,直接使用即可。)
