常見錯誤
What are common mistakes with "Injury"?Which "Injury" sentences look correct but are wrong?
×He got an injury on his leg.
✓He got an injury to his leg.
在英文中，描述身體部位受傷時，習慣搭配介系詞 "to"，而非 "on"。
×She has an injury.
✓She has an injury. / She is injured.
"have an injury" 是正確的，但常被過度使用。在描述受傷狀態時，使用形容詞 "injured" 更為自然。
×The injury was very painful.
✓The injury was very painful. / The injury caused him a lot of pain.
原句文法正確，但語意重複，因為 injury 本身就暗示了疼痛。更自然的說法是描述 injury 導致的後果或具體疼痛部位。
×I have three injuries on my body.
✓I have three injuries. / I injured myself in three places.
"on my body" 是多餘的，因為 injury 必然發生在身體上。直接說 injuries 或具體說明受傷部位即可。
×The injury of the car accident was serious.
✓The injury from the car accident was serious.
表示傷害的來源或原因時，應使用介系詞 "from" 或 "in"，而非表示所屬關係的 "of"。
×It's just a small injury.
✓It's just a minor injury.
描述傷害的嚴重程度時，英文習慣使用 "minor" 或 "serious/severe" 來搭配 "injury"，而非 "small" 或 "big"。
