你有一身“赘肉”吗？

　　你有一身赘肉吗？

　　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....its....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: Dont 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. Its 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: Thats 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. Im going to the gym, starting TODAY!

　　Jessica: Well, before you go, tell me what youve learned today!

　　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。
