I don't know how you can eat so much yet never put on any weight.
点睛
put on weight意为“体重增加,发福”。该句意为“我不明白,为什么你吃这么多却长不胖呢?”
考点归纳
与weight有关的口语词汇和短语还有:
overweight(超重),口语中一般不说He is fat,而会委婉地表达为He is overweight,因为fat是不礼貌的用词。
gain weight(长胖),相当于put on weight。与此相对的短语是lose weight(减肥)。如:
Gaining weight can be as challenging to some people as losing weight is to others. 对于有些人来说,增加体重的难度几乎相当于另一些人减肥的难度。
gross weight意为“毛重”。如:
The gross weight of the box of chocolates is 500 grams. 那盒巧克力的总重量(毛重)是500克。
