你有啤酒肚吗?
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!Lets 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. Youve 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. Its easy to remember.
Jimmy: 那不说 beer belly, 还有其它说法吗?
Donny: Lets 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: Dont 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 its 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 youve 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!
