25天和我学口语 | DAY 21《American College Slang》口语地道表达
写在前面



21  THE FRESHMAN 15

cut back on:to reduce the use of, to drink or eat less of(减少使用,少吃少喝,总之,意思记住 少 就OK了
,比如你最近宅在家变胖了不少,就说:I've gained several pounds in the past two months, so I decide to cut back on foods.

Don't be so hard on yourself.:don't be too critical of yourself, don’t be too ready to blame yourself for things that go wrong(别太责备自己,别对自己要求太严格了
,比如你朋友考试错了一个贼简单的题,说自己太蠢了,你就和他说:Don't be so hard on yourself.

freshman 15:the weight gain that many students experience during their first year in college(我没想到还有这种好玩的表达
,意思是 大学第一年增长的体重
,这个15是因为会胖15磅,大概是13.6斤,不知道对于你们是不是很真实,举个栗子
,你大学第一年胖了不少,然后决定去健身
,就可以说:I settle on gym to shed the freshman 15. shed是 摆脱 的意思,很好用的小词
后面跟体重 可以表示 掉秤)

gravitate towards:to be attracted to something, to tend ward(gravity是重力的意思,也就是吸引,这个短语就是说 被吸引了,倾向于某事
,比如你虽然选了机械专业的课程,但是更喜欢国学课,就可以说:I should take classes in mechanical engineering, but I gravitate towards literature classes.

I hear you.:I understand what you are saying, I know what you mean(我懂你,我理解你
,比如你朋友说因为学习而不能和你去看电影,你就说:I hear you. I don't blame you for it. 另外,还记得 我不知道你在说啥,我不明白   吗?

on fleek:stylish, very good, awesome(很潮,很好看,很棒,
原来是用来形容眼睫毛的,比如你朋友刚做了很潮的发型,你就说:Your hair is on fleek, tell me, where did you do it?

pack on the pounds:to gain weight quickly, often a large amount(疯狂长胖,暴增体重
,比如你朋友自从不去健身房以来,就胖了很多,就说:Once I stopped going to the gym, I started to pack on the pounds. 你就说:Let's hit the gym tonight!

stuff one's face:to eat too much(吃太多了,脸都鼓起来了
,比如你饿极了,然后吃了一大堆,就说:I got the munchies in the afternoon and I stuffed my face with an awful lot of snacks. 你就说:If you always do that, you'll put on much weight! 我觉得前面的短语是很好的表达,就用黑色加粗标记出来了

stuffed:full(饱了,
看看上面说的 饿了 怎么表达,比如吃完饭后你朋友问你还想喝点什么吗?你就说:I'm stuffed, thank you.

that makes sense:I understand that, that is a good idea(不只是我们平常理解的 那很有意义,还能表示 好主意,我理解
,比如你邀请你朋友去吃甜点,你朋友就说:I can't afford to eat cookies, or I will put on weights! 你无奈地说:That makes sense. So I check it out on myself!
前面黑色加粗的句子可以理解成 我没有吃甜点的资本啊

watch one's weight:to be careful what one eats, to not overeat so that one does not gain weight(注意自己的体重,管好自己的嘴,
比如你室友在吃泡芙,问你来一口吗?你就苦着脸说:No, I'm watching my weight.
