易错句子He has two forearm.
正确表达He has two forearms.
forearm 是可数名词,表示“前臂”;汉语没有复数变化,英语中“两只/两只以上前臂”要用复数 forearms。因此 two 后接复数形式。

易错句子She forearmed for the exam.
正确表达She prepared for the exam.
forearm 作动词时是及物动词,意为“预先武装/使有准备”,不能单独接 for 表示“为考试做准备”;应为 prepare for。此错误源于混淆动词词性与固定搭配。

易错句子He felt a pain in his forearm, near the shoulder.
正确表达He felt a pain in his upper arm, near the shoulder.
forearm 仅指肘部到腕部的前臂;靠近肩部的部位是上臂 (upper arm)。汉语中“前臂/上臂”常混称“手臂”,这里用 near the shoulder 限定部位,应改用 upper arm。
arm 包括上臂和前臂(肩到手腕),而 forearm 只指肘到手腕的前臂;笼统说“手臂”时用 arm,不用 forearm。
wrist 是前臂末端与手相连的关节,forearm 是肘与手腕之间的部位;两者位置相接,但不能互换。
upper arm 指肩到肘的一段,forearm 指肘到手腕的一段,以手肘为分界;两者方向相反,容易混淆。
