【英语早间课堂】教您一招说吃(2)(在线收听) |
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。
“吃鸟食”如今已不仅仅是想拥有美好身段的女人的事情了,为了防范富贵病的出现男人也加入了这一行列。那么“吃鸟食”在英文中也有着同样的字眼来表述,是什么呢?我们还是从下面的句子来寻找答案。
例句-1:Sally eats like a bird.
例句-2:I'm worried about Mr. Wrenn. He's been eating like a bird recently.
在我们刚才听到的2个例句中,我们都可以听到同一个词语:eat like a bird。字面意思像鸟一样地吃东西。我们都知道鸟很小,胃也小,吃得当然就少。因此,eat like a bird就是比喻一个人吃东西吃得很少。So,it means to eat very little; to eat only small amounts of food.
我们再来看四个例句:
例句-1:She is trying to lose weight. That's why she is eating like a bird.
她在减肥,所以吃得特别少。
例句-2:You're eating like a bird, no wonder you are so slim.
你吃得真少,怪不得这么苗条。
例句-3:I don't know what's wrong with me lately. I eat like a bird, work like a horse , tired as a dog.
我不知道最近我怎么了,吃得象鸟一样少,工作象马一样辛苦,精疲力尽。
例句-4:Girls always eat like a bird in order to keep a slender figure.
女孩子们吃的很少,为的是保持苗条的身材。
“吃鸟食”控制饮食是值得提倡的,可是我们要注意的是要科学地减肥,科学地控制饮食。不能仅仅是靠少吃节食来保持身材,防范富贵病,更重要的是在于科学的运动。曾经是芭蕾舞演员现为形体梳理专家马旎女士说的一句话是“吃饱了再减肥。”好,我们今天的学习在减肥的话题就暂时打住,我们下期再见。
课后功课:请用eat like a bird将下面的句子翻译为英文。
1. 如果你想减肥的话,要吃得像小鸟那么少,并且定时运动。
2. 我不能享受每一餐,因为我焦虑的时候吃得很少。
3. 不要想能一蹴而就,只要先比现在少吃一点,然后就会少的越来越多。
参考答案如下:
1. If you want to lose weight, you must eat like a bird, and exercise regularly.
2. I can't enjoy my meal because I eat like a bird when I get anxious.
3. Don’t try to eat like a bird at first. Just eat a little less for now, adjust, and then cut back a little more.
