在加拿大
Donny 在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是Jimmy要问的：啤酒肚。Donny: Jimmy, 天真热！Let's go drink some cold beer!Jimmy: 啊？冰啤酒啊，我女朋友不让。Donny: Why?Jimmy: 她说我有啤酒肚。But look at my belly, is it really that bad?Donny: 呃……，I have to say she has a point. You've got a beer belly for sure.Jimmy: Beer belly？beer，啤酒，加上 belly, 肚子，beer belly，啤酒肚。这个词真好记。Donny: Yeah. It's easy to remember.Jimmy: 那不说 beer belly, 还有其它说法吗？Donny: Let's see...you can call it a "keg." k-e-g, keg. A keg is a barrel to store beer.Jimmy: keg是啤酒桶？你是说我这肚子活生生就是一啤酒桶？Donny: Don't worry. You can go from keg to six-pack abs if you exercise and eat healthy.Jimmy: six-pack abs? 我知道 a-b-s, abs 指腹肌， six-pack不是半打啤酒么？Donny: Six-pack abs are the muscles at your midsection. 一边三块，一共六块。Ab是个俚语，意为an abdominal muscle。Jimmy: 哦，我明白了，six-pack abs 就是“六块腹肌”。天啊！从啤酒肚变成六块肌，得做多少仰卧起坐啊！Donny: I know it's hard, but a lot of people say sit-ups really help them lose their beer bellies. You want your girl to be happy, right?Jimmy: 好，为女朋友高兴，我这就回家做 sit-ups，仰卧起坐！Donny: Enjoy your workout! But first tell me what you've learned today.Jimmy: 第一，“啤酒肚”叫 beer belly, 或者 keg；第二，六块腹肌，叫 six-pack abs；第三，仰卧起坐叫 sit-up，s-i-t, sit; u-p, up. sit-up!

看贴你愉快，回贴你精彩回复: “啤酒肚”英文怎么说？“赘肉”英语怎么说？ 天气一转晴，关于春天减肥的话题又热起来，最近疯传这样一句话：“四月不减肥，五月徒伤悲，六月徒伤悲，七月徒伤悲，八月徒伤悲”。一到春天，大家对身上的赘肉都如临大敌，想尽办法想摆脱它们，今天我们一起来通过对话学习一下“赘肉”的英文怎么说吧！Jessica: 于苗！You look so cute in this red dress!YM: 真的么？难道你不觉得这件连衣裙有点瘦么？Jessica: Ah....it's....a little tight. Just a little!YM: 唉，我去年买这条裙子的时候，穿着还有点肥呢，今年居然紧成这样，看来我这赘肉真是没少长啊！Jessica: Don't be upset, Yumiao. You may have a little extra meat on your bones, but trust me, you still look good!YM: extra meat on my bones？骨头上有多余的肉？这在中文里就叫“赘肉”。唉，I really want this "extra meat" gone! 尤其是这腰上的赘肉，真是讨厌的“救生圈”啊！Jessica: I know! No one wants that "spare tire". It's our worst enemy!YM: spare, s-p-a-r-e, spare; tire, t-i-r-e, tire, spare tire 不是指“备用轮胎”么？原来，中国人把腰上的一圈赘肉比喻成“救生圈”，美国人则把它比成“spare tire”备用胎。Jessica: That's right! We also call the extra fat around your waist line "love handles".YM: 腰上的赘肉还可以叫 love handles？love 爱情；handle, h-a-n-d-l-e, handle 把手。这肥肉也能跟爱情挂上钩吗？Jessica: Well, think about it. When your boyfriend wraps his arms around you, he can hold on to these like handles?!YM: 啊？太可怕了。我可不想要 love handles. I'm going to the gym, starting TODAY!Jessica: Well, before you go, tell me what you've learned today!YM: 第一“赘肉”在美语里叫 extra meat on the bones; 第二，形容腰上的赘肉，可以说 spare tire; 第三，腰间肥肉的另外一种说法是love handles。
