每天三分鐘學英語 第185期:外國人說You're cut 竟然是在誇你

Andy: Oh, penguin's just as good.

-Penguin 企鵝
-Just as good 也一樣

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

-Hut 小屋
-Gondola 剛朵拉（威尼斯小船）
-Based on…, I'm gonna guess
基於...我猜測

例句一：
A: Do you know how old Jenna is?
你知道Jenna多大嗎？
B: Based on her personality, I'm gonna guess she's probably early 30's.
根據他的性格我推測三十出頭
例句二：
How'd the interview go?... Based on your lack of enthusiasm, I'm gonna guess not good.
面試怎樣啊？基於你無精打采的樣子我猜不太好吧。

-Ripped stomach 平坦的小腹
-Ripped 肌肉多，脂肪少，但不是非常壯那種。比如李小龍那個樣子的。
誇別人身材好，可以說：
He's ripped.

但每個人情況不一樣，也可以說：

-Toned 有明顯的肌肉
比如，女生一般就可以說：
I want to get toned.

-Cut 有很多肌肉
就像開頭故事裏一樣，外國友人對中國朋友說：
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，塊頭大
舉個栗子：
I want to be buff, but I can't put on any weight.
我想要變大塊頭，但是我增不了重了。
-put on weight 增重

-Beach bod
-Bikini body
這兩個表達都是指可以去沙灘上曬的身材，比基尼身材。

比如，小意的心聲：
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，因爲我身材還沒有太好。
