-Penguin 企鵝
-Just as good 也一樣
Andy: You work at the Hut? I would guess pizza, but based on your ripply stomach I saw when you helped me get down off the gondola ride, I'm gonna guess Sunglass Hut.
-Hut 小屋
-Gondola 剛朵拉(威尼斯小船)
-Based on…, I'm gonna guess
基于...我猜測
例句一:
A: Do you know how old Jenna is?
你知道Jenna多大嗎?
B: Based on her personality, I'm gonna guess she's probably early 30's.
根據(jù)他的性格我推測三十出頭
例句二:
How'd the interview go?... Based on your lack of enthusiasm, I'm gonna guess not good.
面試怎樣啊?基于你無精打采的樣子我猜不太好吧。
-Ripped stomach 平坦的小腹
-Ripped 肌肉多,脂肪少,但不是非常壯那種。比如李小龍那個樣子的。
夸別人身材好,可以說:
He's ripped.
但每個人情況不一樣,也可以說:
-Toned 有明顯的肌肉
比如,女生一般就可以說:
I want to get toned.
-Cut 有很多肌肉
就像開頭故事里一樣,外國友人對中國朋友說:
Dude, you're cut. How long have you been working out for?
你好多肌肉啊,你健身多久了啊?
-Buff 肌肉多,塊頭大
舉個栗子:
I want to be buff, but I can't put on any weight.
我想要變大塊頭,但是我增不了重了。
-put on weight 增重
-Beach bod
-Bikini body
這兩個表達(dá)都是指可以去沙灘上曬的身材,比基尼身材。
比如,小意的心聲:
I really don't want to go swimming because I don't have a beach bod yet.
我真的不想去游泳,因為我身材還沒有太好。
