Weight(体重) is one of the taboo subjects. In America, it is OK, or even good, to be thin but it is an embar-rassment(尴尬) to be overweight. In fact, the thinner you are, the more beautiful you are thought to be. You´ ll fred that most models(模特) are nothing more than skin and bones. A woman who is thin is easy to become popu-lar. Of course, there are lots of people do their best to be thin. They may use all kinds of ways, such as doing exer-cise, or dieting(节食). But, sometimes, dieting may bring about some healthy problems.
Americans are very careful about their weight and most of the time they do not tell others how much they weigh... even if they are quite thin. Therefore, you´ d better not ask about it. But if you really want to talk about this subject, it´ s always safer to say, "Oh, it looks like you have lost weight. " However, if you would like to be honest and polite, I suggest that you should choose your words carefully, perhaps by saying, "Hey, you look great.
Very healthy looking. " And always remember, you can not use the word "fat".
Those thin women are more popular than those tat women.

体重是一个比较禁忌的话题。在美国,长得瘦是不错的,甚至是很好的,但超重就让人极为难堪。实际上,你越瘦,别人会认为你越漂亮。你会发现大多数模特都是皮包骨头。越瘦的女孩就越容易受到欢迎。当然,很多人想尽一切办法来变瘦,比如运动和节食。不过,有时候节食也会带来健康问题。
美国人很关注体重,且很少告诉别人他们的体重…即使他们很瘦。所以,你最好别问。但如果你非得要讲,比较稳妥的就是说“噢,你看起来像是瘦了”。然而,如果你想说实话但又比较礼貌,我建议你用词小心,或许可以说:“嘿,你看起来棒极了。很健康。”千万要记住,不能用“肥”这个词语。
