汉译英常见错误 | 据说这种药片含有三餐饭的全部营养价值

[译] 据说这种药片含有三餐饭的全部营养价值。
[误] It is said that the pill contains all the nutritious value of three complete meals.

[正] It is said that the pill contains all the nutritive value of three complete meals.
[注] nutritious 的意思是"富有营养的",如 nutritious food (富有营养的食物)。又如:The diet is nutritious but low in calories. 这种饮食营养丰富但能量低。说"营养(价值)"、"营养（作用）"不能用 nutritious，而应该用 nutritive。nutritive 才是"有关营养"的意思。所以我们可以说 nutritive value, nutritive functions。又如：Their vegetable food was poor in nutritive value.他们的素食缺乏营养价值。
