84. I don't know how you can eat so much yet never put on any weight.
點(diǎn)睛
put on weight意為“體重增加,發(fā)福”。該句意為“我不明白,為什么你吃這么多卻長(zhǎng)不胖呢?”
考點(diǎn)歸納
與weight有關(guān)的口語詞匯和短語還有:
overweight(超重),口語中一般不說He is fat,而會(huì)委婉地表達(dá)為He is overweight,因?yàn)閒at是不禮貌的用詞。
gain weight(長(zhǎng)胖),相當(dāng)于put on weight。與此相對(duì)的短語是lose weight(減肥)。如:
Gaining weight can be as challenging to some people as losing weight is to others. 對(duì)于有些人來說,增加體重的難度幾乎相當(dāng)于另一些人減肥的難度。
gross weight意為“毛重”。如:
The gross weight of the box of chocolates is 500 grams. 那盒巧克力的總重量(毛重)是500克。
