×She has a high education.

在英文中,'education' 本身通常不直接與 'high' 或 'low' 搭配來形容程度。應使用 'level of education' 或 'highly educated' 等片語。
×I studied education in university.
✓I studied education at university. / I majored in education at university.
談論在特定機構學習時,通常使用介系詞 'at' (如 at university, at college)。使用 'in university' 聽起來不自然。
×Parents should give their children a good education.
✓Parents should provide their children with a good education. / Parents should ensure their children receive a good education.
雖然 'give an education' 有時在口語中可被理解,但更地道、更正式的用法是 'provide someone with an education' 或 'ensure someone receives an education'。

'Education' 作為抽象名詞,指『教育』這個概念或過程時,通常是不可數名詞,沒有複數形。若要指不同國家具體的『教育體系』或『教育方式』,應使用 'education systems' 或 'approaches to education'。
×He took an education to become a teacher.
✓He trained to become a teacher. / He studied to become a teacher. / He completed a teacher education program.
動詞 'take' 通常不與 'education' 搭配。應使用更精確的動詞如 'train', 'study', 'complete (a program)', 或 'receive'。
