聽力考試中常會涉及談論他人身體狀況的話題,out of shape就是其中的一種表達,意為"身材走形"。
口語中談論身體狀況的相關表達歸納如下:
關于健康狀態(tài)的表達有:
1) be in good shape或keep in shape意為"身體好"。如:
Her brother runs five kilometers every week to be in good shape. 她哥哥為了保持健康,每周跑步5000米。
2) fit as a fiddle意為"非常健康"。如:
Though I haven't seen you for ages, you are still fit as a fiddle. 盡管這么多年沒見了,你身體還是那么棒。
關于身體不適的表達有:
1) under the weather意為"不舒服,有病"。如:
The boy didn't go to school yesterday because he was under the weather. 那個男孩昨天沒去上課,因為他身體不舒服。
2) be off color意為"氣色不好,身體有些不舒服"。如:
