都说“每逢佳节胖三斤”，过完年，你的体重有没有增加呢？眼看着春天就要来了，到时候穿上清新的春装，腰间要是出现“小轮胎”可就不好看了哦！
今天，我们就跟大家说说英语中有关“腰部赘肉”的几种形象说法。 A muffin-top is the phenomenon of overhanging fat when it spills over the waistline of pants or skirts in a manner that resembles the top of a muffin spilling over its paper casing. Muffin-tops are generally considered undesirable. Muffin-top指腰间被裤子或裙子腰线勒出来下垂的赘肉，看上去像玛芬蛋糕顶部溢出纸托的样子，由此得名。一般来说，没有人喜欢自己腰间有那一圈赘肉的。 Muffin-top originated as Australian slang in mid-2003, but has since become popular in other English-speaking countries. It may have been first popularized by the Australian television show Kath &Kim. Muffin-top这个说法2003年作为俚语出现在澳大利亚，后来在各个英语国家均被接受。最开始将其普遍传播的应该是澳大利亚电视节目《凯斯和吉姆》。 除了这个形象的说法，美国人还喜欢用love handles来指“腰间赘肉”。 "Love handles" is an informal term for deposits of excess fat at the side of ones waistline. Love handles是描述腰部赘肉的一种口头说法。 此外，我们还常用 a spare tire来形容tire-like shape around the midsection（像轮胎一样凸出的腰部）。 (责任编辑：admin) |
