每天三分钟学英语 第185期:外国人说You're cut 竟然是在夸你

 Andy: Oh, penguin's just as good.

-Penguin 企鹅

-Just as good 也一样

Andy: You work at the Hut? I would guess pizza, but based on your ripply¹ stomach I saw when you helped me get down off the gondola² ride, I'm gonna guess Sunglass Hut.

-Hut 小屋

-Gondola 刚朵拉（威尼斯小船）

-Based on…, I'm gonna guess

基于...我猜测

例句一：

A: Do you know how old Jenna is?

你知道Jenna多大吗？

B: Based on her personality, I'm gonna guess she's probably early 30's.

根据他的性格我推测三十出头

例句二：

How'd the interview go?... Based on your lack of enthusiasm, I'm gonna guess not good.

面试怎样啊？基于你无精打采的样子我猜不太好吧。

-Ripped stomach 平坦的小腹

-Ripped 肌肉多，脂肪少，但不是非常壮那种。比如李小龙那个样子的。

夸别人身材好，可以说：

He's ripped.

但每个人情况不一样，也可以说：

-Toned 有明显的肌肉

比如，女生一般就可以说：

I want to get toned.

-Cut 有很多肌肉

就像开头故事里一样，外国友人对中国朋友说：

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，块头大

举个栗子：

I want to be buff, but I can't put on any weight.

我想要变大块头，但是我增不了重了。

-put on weight 增重

-Beach bod

-Bikini body

这两个表达都是指可以去沙滩上晒的身材，比基尼身材。

比如，小意的心声：

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，因为我身材还没有太好。

1 ripply   

波纹状的，潺潺声的

参考例句：

2 gondola   

n.威尼斯的平底轻舟；飞船的吊船

参考例句：

• The road is too narrow to allow the passage of gondola.这条街太窄大型货车不能通过。
• I have a gondola here.我开来了一条平底船。
