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~
