【英语早间课堂】教您一招说吃(5)

各位亲爱的朋友们，欢迎来到早间课堂《抛招接招》小节目，我是Juliet。

 

如果我们eat like bird，就有迹象表明我们的身体处于也健康状态，没有胃口吃东西。如果我们eat like a horse，吃得太多而会导致肠胃不舒服，也就没有胃口吃东西，我们的身体就处于非健康状态。

 

今天我们就来看“没有胃口”“胃口不好”“食欲不振”如何来说。我们先来听下面的2个句子。

 

例句-1：I'm worried about Keith. He's beenoff his his oatsfor a week now.

 

在这个句子中我们可以听到关于“燕麦”（oats）的一个短语：be off one's oats。

 

例句-2：I cook a three-course meal, and half-way through the soup, you suddenly tell megone off your food.

 

在这个句子中我们可以听到关于“食物”（food）的一个短语：go off one's food。

 

Both of them means¹ "to not want to eat, usually because sb is ill". 意思是（由于生病）胃口不好，吃不下东西，食欲不振。4.jpg

 

我们再来看四个例句：

 

Eg.He did not sleep well andwent off his food.

 

他睡得不好，吃不去东西。

 

Eg.Give the cow a dose² when itgoes off it oats.

 

这头母牛食欲不振时就给它一服药吃。

 

Eg.She awoke with a headache and chills³ andwent off her oats.

 

她醒来头痛，身上冷，晚饭时吃不下东西。

 

Eg.As she was ill, shewent off her foodand only picked at the food.

 

由于生病,她食欲不振,只吃了一点儿。

 

我们现在知道了be /go off one's oats和be/go off one's food的意思，我们就回到最初听到的例句中来看看它们的意思。

 

例句-1：I'm worried about Keith. He'sbeen off his his oats for a week now.

 

这句话是说：我很担心基思，他已有一个星期不太想吃饭了。

 

例句-2：I cook a three-course meal, and half-way through the soup, you suddenly tell megone off your food.

 

这句话是说：我做了三道菜，喝汤到一般时，你突然对我说说胃口不好。

 

好，亲爱的朋友们，我们今天的这招说吃——go off one oats(or food)，be off one's oats (or food)，意思是指由于生病，身体不舒服了，吃不去东西，胃口不好，食欲不振。

 

As we know, good health is without price. Happiness⁴ lies, first of all, in health.身体健康是无价之宝，幸福首先在于健康。So , do remember don't eat like bird and don't eat like a horse. We should keep ourselves in a good health and then we can get a happy life.好，各位亲爱的朋友们，thank you for your listening this time and see you next time!
