“body check”怎么理解？
很多同学可能会直接根据字面意思，把“体检”翻译为“body check”，其实这个说法不是很地道哦~
我们先来看看英文词典里对body check（或写成bodycheck）的解释：
▼
翻译为中文是：用你的身体推另一个人，尤其在体育运动中
其实，“body check”是一个美式英语，意为“用身体部分阻挡”，算是曲棍球（hockey）当中的专业术语。
The player was known for his aggressive style of play, which included many hard body checks.
这位球员以其激进的比赛风格而闻名，其中包括许多强硬的身体冲撞。
而且，“body”除了“身体”之外，还有“尸体”的意思，所以，要是老外理解错了还是很吓人的
那么“体检”用英语到底应该怎么说呢？
