Lose weight

夏天到了，很多人又開始減肥了?？墒?，如果要用英文表達(dá)自己想要減肥，那下面這個(gè)句子怪在哪里呢？

？ I want to lose my weight.

粗粗一看好像沒什么問題，仔細(xì)看好像還是沒問題。哈哈，其實(shí)問題出在my這個(gè)詞。如果你說 my weight , 這意味著如果你想要的話，你也是可以減別人的肥的。my 暗示這次是 my 肥，下次可能是your 肥，以后可能是 her 肥，也就是說，你可以選擇減誰的肥。

是不是很怪，所以解決辦法就是去掉 my：

√ I want to lose weight.

只要說lose weight，我們聽了都會假定是主語那個(gè)人要減肥。

He's pretty fat. I think he really needs to lose weight.

（他很胖，我想他真的需要減肥。）

She ate so much during Chinese New Year. Now she wants to lose weight.

（她在過年時(shí)吃了好多，現(xiàn)在她想要減肥。）

lose 與 weight 中間加某個(gè)詞，通常不是表示誰的肥，而是要減多少肥。

He looks OK, but he needs to lose a little weight.

（他看起來還不錯(cuò)，只要稍微減一點(diǎn)肥。）

Wow, after she started jogging, she lost a lot of weight.

（哇！她慢跑之后瘦了好多。）

I'd like to lose some weight.

（我想瘦一點(diǎn)。）

當(dāng)然，如果要說減幾公斤時(shí)，你可以省略weight這個(gè)詞：

I lost five kilos this summer!

（我今年夏天減了五公斤?。?/p>

I need to lose about ten pounds after eating like a pig during my Christmas vacation.

（在圣誕節(jié)期間吃得像只豬之后，我需要減個(gè)十磅。）

* 不用說減誰的肥，說 lose weight 就好了。

祝大家這個(gè)夏天瘦成閃電~
