Lose weight
夏天到了,很多人又开始减肥了。可是,如果要用英文表达自己想要减肥,那下面这个句子怪在哪里呢?
? I want to lose my weight.
粗粗一看好像没什么问题,仔细看好像还是没问题。哈哈,其实问题出在my这个词。如果你说 my weight , 这意味着如果你想要的话,你也是可以减别人的肥的。my 暗示这次是 my 肥,下次可能是your 肥,以后可能是 her 肥,也就是说,你可以选择减谁的肥。
是不是很怪,所以解决办法就是去掉 my:
√ I want to lose weight.
只要说lose weight,我们听了都会假定是主语那个人要减肥。
He's pretty fat. I think he really needs to lose weight.
(他很胖,我想他真的需要减肥。)
She ate so much during Chinese New Year. Now she wants to lose weight.
(她在过年时吃了好多,现在她想要减肥。)
lose 与 weight 中间加某个词,通常不是表示谁的肥,而是要减多少肥。
He looks OK, but he needs to lose a little weight.
(他看起来还不错,只要稍微减一点肥。)
Wow, after she started jogging, she lost a lot of weight.
(哇!她慢跑之后瘦了好多。)
I'd like to lose some weight.
(我想瘦一点。)
当然,如果要说减几公斤时,你可以省略weight这个词:
I lost five kilos this summer!
(我今年夏天减了五公斤!)
I need to lose about ten pounds after eating like a pig during my Christmas vacation.
(在圣诞节期间吃得像只猪之后,我需要减个十磅。)
* 不用说减谁的肥,说 lose weight 就好了。
祝大家这个夏天瘦成闪电~
