"in good health" 是英语中常用的介词短语,字面意为“处于良好的健康状态”,实际表达 “身体健康”“身体状况好”,强调身体机能、状态的良好。
该短语通常作表语(说明主语的状态),也可与表示“保持、维持”的动词(如 keep/stay)搭配,强调“维持健康状态”。以下是具体场景的用法:
直接描述主语的健康状态,相当于形容词 "healthy" 的表达(但更强调“状态”而非“属性”)。

尽管年事已高,他依然身体健康。
Are you in good health lately?
你最近身体好吗?

若要表示“身体不好”,可将 "good" 替换为 "poor/bad":

自去年冬天以来,她身体一直不好。
本质:描述“健康状态”的介词短语,替代形容词 "healthy" 时更正式或强调“状态”。
常见结构:
① 主语 + be + in good health(描述状态);
② 主语 + keep/stay + in good health(维持状态);
③ 疑问句:How/Are you... in good health?(询问健康)。
简单来说,"in good health" 就是“身体健康”的地道表达,日常交流或写作中都很常用~
