[誤] He has got very poor physical quality with continuous illnesses all the year round.

[正] He has got very poor physical constitution with continuous illnesses all the year round.

注：雖然“素質(zhì)”常翻譯成 quality，例句欣賞：Do you think she possesses the necessary managerial qualities to do this job?(你認(rèn)為她具有從事這個(gè)工作所必須的管理素質(zhì)嗎?)但“身體素質(zhì)”卻要用 physical constitution(體格)來表達(dá)。
