Donny 在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是Jimmy要问的：啤酒肚。 Donny: Jimmy, 天真热!Let's go drink some cold beer! Jimmy: 啊?冰啤酒啊，我女朋友不让。 Donny: Why? Jimmy: 她说我有啤酒肚。But look at my belly, is it really that bad? Donny: 呃……，I have to say she has a point. You've got a beer belly for sure. Jimmy: Beer belly?beer，啤酒，加上 belly, 肚子，beer belly，啤酒肚。这个词真好记。 Donny: Yeah. It's easy to remember. Jimmy: 那不说 beer belly, 还有其它说法吗? Donny: Let's see...you can call it a "keg." k-e-g, keg. A keg is a barrel to store beer. Jimmy: keg是啤酒桶?你是说我这肚子活生生就是一啤酒桶? Donny: Don't worry. You can go from keg to six-pack abs if you exercise and eat healthy. Jimmy: six-pack abs? 我知道 a-b-s, abs 指腹肌， six-pack不是半打啤酒么? Donny: Six-pack abs are the muscles at your midsection. 一边三块，一共六块。Ab是个俚语，意为an abdominal muscle。 Jimmy: 哦，我明白了，six-pack abs 就是“六块腹肌。天啊!从啤酒肚变成六块肌，得做多少仰卧起坐啊! |
