jessica: fangfang, you look different! did you lose weight?
　　ff: 才没有呢！ 是这件衣服好，穿上显瘦，特修身！
　　jessica: 修身养性？也能让人显瘦？
　　ff: 不是那个修身，是修饰身材. the clothes make me look slim。
　　jessica: i see. you can say the clothes are figure flattering. "flattering" is spelled f-l-a-t-t-e-r-i-n-g。
　　ff: figure是身材，flatter是恭维，两个词放在一起，figure flattering，身材显得更好，也就是修身！
　　jessica: right! for example, a lot of women find black to be a figure flattering color。
　　ff: 对！ 黑色特修身。不过，要想尝试各种风格的打扮，不能光靠衣服，还得身材好。瘦才是王道！
　　jessica: so...are you going on a diet?
　　ff: go on a diet? 节食？没错！ 虽然我已经不是头一次减肥，但这次不同，我要来个地狱式的节食减肥！
　　jessica: 地狱？hell? oh, you must be referring to a crash diet, where people stop eating, exercise like crazy and do extreme things to lose weight quickly。
　　ff: 对！ 不吃，狂运动，迅速瘦身！ 原来地狱式节食就是a crash diet. c-r-a-s-h, crash. 我拼得对么？
　　jessica: correct. but fangfang, it's a painful process, isn't it?
　　ff: 可不是么！ 我这几天头晕眼花，就是因为吃太少。jessica, 待会儿咱们去吃烤鸭吧！
　　jessica: 你不减肥啦？
　　ff: 就一顿嘛，放纵一下！
　　jessica: be careful! this is binge eating! binge is spelled b-i-n-g-e. binge eating is when you eat a lot more food in one meal than you usually do。
　　ff: 我明白了，binge eating就是暴饮暴食。
　　jessica: 对！ i hope you can get slimmer in a healthy way. but now, let's see what you've learned today!
　　ff: 第一，修饰身材叫 figure flattering；
　　第二，节食叫go on a diet，地狱式节食是a crash diet；
　　第三，暴饮暴食是binge eating。
