“发胖”常见的英文表达有 put on weight、gain weight 或 become fat(不过“become fat”相对更直白、口语化,在某些语境下可能不够委婉)。以下是具体说明:
put on weight:这是一个非常常用且自然的表达,强调体重的增加。例如:
If you don't exercise regularly, you'll put on weight.(如果你不经常锻炼,你会发胖的。)
gain weight:与“put on weight”意思相近,也表示体重增加。例如:
She has gained weight since she stopped exercising.(自从她停止锻炼后,她就发胖了。)
become fat:直接描述身体变胖的状态,但在一些正式或需要委婉表达的场合,可能不如前两个表达常用。例如:
He's becoming fat because of his unhealthy diet.(由于不健康的饮食,他正在发胖。)
