已经有很多人的经验证明，大一新生多数都会长胖。准备进入大学的同学们，提前做好迎接freshman 15的心理准备吧。 15 is said to be the number of pounds that many students gain in their first year of college; and freshman 15 is the often observed phenomenon of weight gain among first year college students. 据说，之所以会出现15这个数字是因为很多学生在大一这一年体重会增加15磅(约13斤);而freshman 15则指代学生上大一时体重增加这个现象。 除此之外，上班族在休假期间长胖的可能性也很高，大概是因为休假期间神经放松，出去玩的时候又经受不住美食的诱惑吧。 Holiday pounds refer to the extra little bit of weight you put on during a period of being on holiday or vacation. Holiday pounds指休假或者节假日期间额外增长的那部分体重，我们可以戏称为“假期胖子”。 For example: Man, when I get back to work I'll have to start going to the gym again- I've put on some serious holiday pounds. 唉，等我回去上班，我得开始去健身房了，休假长了不少肉。 所以呢，挺容易长胖的这一代人就有了个名字叫Genaration XL。XL什么意思?出去买衣服的时候就知道了! Generation XL refers to children or young adults who are overweight, XL refers to the size extra large in clothing. |
