Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語，她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。今天是吳瓊要問的：宅男宅女。

Jessica: Wuqiong，聽說你表妹從上海來看你了，怎么樣，Are you two getting along?

wq: 唉，她哪是來看我。整天待在家里，根本不理我，每天就知道上網(wǎng)，看電視，也不出去玩兒。標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的宅女!像這種特別“宅的人，在美語里叫什么?

Jessica: I think you can call them "homebodies". A homebody is a person who prefers to stay at home and seldom goes out.

wq: homebody?home就是家的意思，body是身體，兩個詞連在一起---身體長在家里了，就是homebody!宅男宅女!My cousin is totally a homebody!哈哈，我回家要告訴她這句話!

Jessica: Well, you can also call her a "shut-in".

wq: 哦，shut-in也是指不愿意出門和別人交往的宅男宅女!我要告訴我表妹，Don't be a shut-in! Go out and get some fresh air!

Jessica: 對!讓她出去轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)，不然，Her brain will rot if she stays home and stares at a screen all the time!

wq: 啊?rot不是腐爛么?Her brain will rot就是“她腦子要發(fā)霉的意思吧?

Jessica: That's right! Being a couch potato isn't healthy.

wq: 沒錯。couch potato，沙發(fā)土豆，就是一天到晚賴在沙發(fā)上看電視的人。每天不運動，變得圓滾滾的，跟個potato--大土豆一樣!

Jessica: I'm sure your cousin doesn't want to look like a potato! Now, tell me what you've learned today!

wq: 第一，宅男宅女叫 homebody, 或者 shut-in;

第二，一天到晚坐在沙發(fā)上看電視的人叫 couch potato;

第三，說腦子要發(fā)霉了，就是Your brain will rot!
