常見錯誤

My grandmother has a hypotension.
My grandmother has hypotension.
'hypotension' is an uncountable noun and does not take the article 'a'.
The doctor said she has low pressure.
The doctor said she has low blood pressure.
In English, 'low pressure' alone without 'blood' sounds unclear; Taiwanese learners may drop 'blood' because 低血壓 literally translates as 'low blood pressure'.
