Hello，大家好，我是恐龙先生！
大家过年吃了不少肉吧，有没有称一称胖了多少？
都是胖，有些人啤酒肚大到快冲天了，有些人脸上肥嘟嘟的，还有些人其实是比较壮而已……这些形容对应的英文分别是什么呢？
这一期我们来聊聊有关“胖”的不同表达。
1. put on/gain weight: to get fatter and heavier 增加体重，变胖
He had put on weight since she last saw him.
他比上次她见他时胖了。
具体到重了多少，可以用“put on/gain XX kilos”（胖了XX公斤）或者“put on/gain XX pounds”（胖了XX磅）来表达，举个例子：
I put on several pounds while I was on holiday, so now I'm on a strict diet.
我休假的时候重了好几磅，所以现在我正严格控制饮食。
不知道春节期间大家胖了几斤呀？
2. beer gut/belly: n. (informal) an unattractive fat stomach caused by drinking too much beer （非正式）啤酒肚
时光荏苒，多少人心中的男神变成了啤酒肚大叔……一声叹息，让我们在新的一年继续锻炼吧！
4. love handles: (informal) deposits of excess fat at a person's waistline 腰部赘肉
搜了下love handles的来源，有网站是这样解释的：
People believe that the origin of the term "love handles" derives from the ability to rest your arms on the fat layer when holding someone close to you.
人们认为，“腰间赘肉”这个说法起源于当你搂着别人时，手臂会自然地放在他们的脂肪层（也就是腰部啦～）。
Losing weight is not easy, especially in problem areas such as the belly, love handles and a double chin.
减肥不容易，尤其是肚子、腰部赘肉和双下巴这些难减的部位。
5. spare tire: n. (informal) a ring of fat around the waist （非正式）肉肚，肥胖的腰
You should go on a diet—look at that spare tire!
你应该控制饮食——看你那肉肚子！
spare tire在英式英语中常拼作spare tyre，它还有一个常见的释义是“备用轮胎”。
6. middle-age spread: n. the fat around the stomach that some people develop in middle age 中年发福
A lot of people start to get middle-age spread once they pass 30.
许多人过了30岁就开始发福了。
我同事说全天下的人都可以发福，只要她（梦中的）老公薛之谦不发福就行。
7. chubby: adj. slightly fat in a way that people usually find attractive 胖乎乎的
Aah, look at his chubby little hands!
啊，看他的小胖手！
8. plump: adj. slightly fat in a fairly pleasant way – used especially about women or children, often to avoid saying the word ‘fat’ 丰满的，胖乎乎的（尤指女性和儿童，常为避免说出fat一词）
The doctor's wife had a plump face and a small mouth.
医生的妻子长着胖乎乎的脸和樱桃小嘴。
9. overweight: adj. (of people) too heavy and fat （人）超重的，肥胖的
My mother is about 50 pounds overweight.
我妈妈大约超重50磅。
grossly overweight（=extremely overweight）意思是“严重超重”。
分享一个世卫组织的数据：每年至少有280万人的死亡可归咎于超重或肥胖。
数字挺骇人听闻的……春天快来了，快收拾收拾自己开始运动吧！
“肥胖”的名词是obesity：/oʊˈbiːsəti/，在四六级及雅思阅读中很常见到，对应的形容词是obese：/oʊˈbiːs/。
10. beefy: adj. strong but also a little fat and unattractive 大块头的，肥实的
The second prisoner was a fat-faced beefy fellow who smelled of sweat.
第二个囚犯是个胖脸大块头家伙，身上一股汗味。
还有其他一些跟“胖”有关的词：
portly：adj. 肥胖的，大腹便便的（尤指年纪较大的男人，用于文学作品中）
hefty：adj. 粗壮的，高大健壮的
burly：adj. 壮实的，魁梧的
podgy／pudgy：adj. 又小又胖的（尤指看上去有趣的）
哈哈，胖了也没关系，谁要是敢说咱胖，就揍他！！
最后是恐龙先生金句推送时间，一句美丽的诗！
An individual human existence should be like a river—small at first, narrowly continued with in its bank, and rushing passionately past boulders and over water-falls.
人生好比一条河，开始是峡谷细流，接着是激流勇进，冲进巨石，飞下悬石．
