如果有人劝你take the weight off your feet,意思就是劝你坐下来,歇歇脚,坐下来休息一下,尤其是站久了。这个短语和你的体重可没有关系。
例句:
After walking around Paris for three hours non-stop, Mary found a nice coffee shop and took the weight off her feet.
Don't walk to school today. Go on the bus and take the weight off your feet.
注意:
大家可千万别把to take the weight off your feet和to carry your own weight给混淆了。后一个短语的意思是自己对自己负责。
例句:
My brother has finally got a job! Our father kept telling him that at 30 he is old enough to leave home and carry his own weight.
常识补充:
Some spa centres offer 'doctor fish' treatment. A fish called Garra Rufa, eat dead skin off people’s feet. But some people find the tickly sensation too much to bear.
有些水疗中心提供“医生鱼”的治疗,这些医生鱼的英文名字是Garra Rufa,它们会吃掉一些人体上的死皮。不过有些人觉得那种被小鱼咬得发痒的感觉实在难以忍受。
