Fit 长相帅/漂亮

Jo: Hello and welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English – I'm Jo.

Li: Hi 大家好。我是杨莉， 欢迎收听 BBC 的地道英语节目，希望在接下来的2分钟里，你能学到英式英语中常用的一些表达方式。

Jo: What are you reading there Li?

Li: Oh it's just this week's celebrity gossip magazine. 我有空的时候就喜欢看娱乐新闻的杂志，里面有好多明星的小道消息。Look have you seen this picture of George Clooney at the film festival?

Jo: Ooo yes, he's really fit isn't he?

Li: Fit? Well, I don't know if he likes sports or not Jo.

Jo: No I don't mean fit as in healthy or sporty.

Li: 是吗？难道这里 fit 不是健康，身体好的意思吗？

Jo: Well it does but in informal English it means good looking. So if you think a man is really handsome then you can say – he's really fit!

Jo: Wow that’s something new. 你是说他看起来很帅，那 fit 这个词能用在漂亮的女孩身上吗?

Jo: Yes you can. You might hear a man say – look at her – she's really fit. And you often hear people say – he or she is well fit. 'Well' means very in informal English.

Li: Well 是 very 的口语表达，那么 he's well fit 就是 he is very good looking 他长得可真帅，真有型。那Jo， 我们是不是经常在非常随便的情况下才能听到这个词的使用呢？

Jo: Yes that's right. Lots of young people use this word when they're talking to their friend about who they like and don't like. Here's some more examples.

Examples

A: Look, it's Justin Timberlake on the TV. I love him – he's really fit.

B: Do you think so? He's not really my type!

A: There's a new girl started working in my office and she's well fit. I'm finding it hard to concentrate on my work!

B: What's she like?

A: She's got long brown hair and a lovely smile. She's gorgeous!

Jo: So do you think George Clooney's fit Li?

Li: He's OK – but I prefer Johnny Depp – he's extremely fit! 好了，今天的地道英 语又要结束了。

Jo: You've been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. We'll see you again soon.

Li: Bye Bye.
