Donny 在北京學漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是Jimmy要問的：啤酒肚。

Donny: Jimmy, 天真熱! Let's go drink some cold beer!

Jimmy: ?。勘【瓢。遗笥巡蛔?。

Donny: Why?

Jimmy: 她說我有啤酒肚。But look at my belly, is it really that bad?

Donny: 呃......I have to say she has a point. You've got a beer belly for sure.

Jimmy: Beer belly？ beer 啤酒，加上 belly, 肚子，beer belly 啤酒肚。這個詞真好記。

Donny: Yeah. It's easy to remember.

Jimmy: 那不說 beer belly, 還有其它說法嗎？

Donny: Let's see....you can call it a "keg." k-e-g, keg. A keg is a barrel to store beer.

Jimmy: keg 是啤酒桶？你是說我這肚子活生生就是一啤酒桶？

Donny: Don't worry. You can go from keg to six-pack abs if you exercise and eat healthy.

Jimmy: six-pack abs? 我知道 a-b-s, abs 指腹肌， six-pack 不是半打啤酒么？

Donny: Six-pack abs are the muscles at your midsection. 一邊三塊，一共六塊。

Jimmy: 哦，我明白了，six-pack abs 就是“六塊腹肌”。天啊!從啤酒肚變成六塊肌，得做多少仰臥起坐啊!

Donny: I know it's hard, but a lot of people say sit-ups really help them lose their beer bellies. You want your girl to be happy, right?

Jimmy: 好，為女朋友高興，我這就回家做 sit-ups，仰臥起坐！

Donny: Enjoy your workout! But first tell me what you've learned today.

Jimmy: 第一“啤酒肚”叫 beer belly, 或者 keg；第二，六塊腹肌，叫 six-pack abs；第三，仰臥起坐叫 sit-up，s-i-t, sit; u-p, up. sit-up!
