donny 在北京学汉语，他的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教他。今天是jimmy要问的：啤酒肚。

donny: jimmy, 天真热！let's go drink some cold beer!

jimmy: 啊？冰啤酒啊，我女朋友不让。

donny: why?

jimmy: 她说我有啤酒肚。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。这个词真好记。

donny: yeah. it's easy to remember.

jimmy: 那不说 beer belly, 还有其它说法吗？

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？你是说我这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. 一边三块，一共六块。ab是个俚语，意为an abdominal muscle。

jimmy: 哦，我明白了，six-pack abs 就是“六块腹肌”。天啊！从啤酒肚变成六块肌，得做多少仰卧起坐啊！

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，为女朋友高兴，我这就回家做 sit-ups，仰卧起坐！

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；

第二，六块腹肌，叫 six-pack abs；

第三，仰卧起坐叫 sit-up，s-i-t, sit; u-p, up. sit-up!
