各位親愛的朋友們，歡迎來到早間課堂《拋招接招》小節目，我是Juliet。

如果我們eat like bird，就有跡象表明我們的身體處于也健康狀態，沒有胃口吃東西。如果我們eat like a horse，吃得太多而會導致腸胃不舒服，也就沒有胃口吃東西，我們的身體就處于非健康狀態。

今天我們就來看“沒有胃口”“胃口不好”“食欲不振”如何來說。我們先來聽下面的2個句子。

例句-1：I'm worried about Keith. He's beenoff his his oatsfor a week now.

在這個句子中我們可以聽到關于“燕麥”（oats）的一個短語：be off one's oats。

例句-2：I cook a three-course meal, and half-way through the soup, you suddenly tell megone off your food.

在這個句子中我們可以聽到關于“食物”（food）的一個短語：go off one's food。

Both of them means "to not want to eat, usually because sb is ill". 意思是（由于生病）胃口不好，吃不下東西，食欲不振。

我們再來看四個例句：

Eg.He did not sleep well andwent off his food.

他睡得不好，吃不去東西。

Eg.Give the cow a dose when itgoes off it oats.

這頭母牛食欲不振時就給它一服藥吃。

Eg.She awoke with a headache and chills andwent off her oats.

她醒來頭痛，身上冷，晚飯時吃不下東西。

Eg.As she was ill, shewent off her foodand only picked at the food.

由于生病,她食欲不振,只吃了一點兒。

我們現在知道了be /go off one's oats和be/go off one's food的意思，我們就回到最初聽到的例句中來看看它們的意思。

例句-1：I'm worried about Keith. He'sbeen off his his oats for a week now.

這句話是說：我很擔心基思，他已有一個星期不太想吃飯了。

例句-2：I cook a three-course meal, and half-way through the soup, you suddenly tell megone off your food.

這句話是說：我做了三道菜，喝湯到一般時，你突然對我說說胃口不好。

好，親愛的朋友們，我們今天的這招說吃——go off one oats(or food)，be off one's oats (or food)，意思是指由于生病，身體不舒服了，吃不去東西，胃口不好，食欲不振。

As we know, good health is without price. Happiness lies, first of all, in health.身體健康是無價之寶，幸福首先在于健康。So , do remember don't eat like bird and don't eat like a horse. We should keep ourselves in a good health and then we can get a happy life.好，各位親愛的朋友們，thank you for your listening this time and see you next time!
