Jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是方方要问的：修身。
Jessica: Fangfang, You look different! Did you lose weight?
FF: 才没有呢！ 是这件衣服好，穿上显瘦，特修身！
Jessica: 修身养性？也能让人显瘦？
FF: 不是那个修身，是修饰身材. The clothes make me look slim。
Jessica: I see. You can say the clothes are figure flattering. "flattering" is spelled f-l-a-t-t-e-r-i-n-g。
FF: figure是身材，flatter是恭维，两个词放在一起，figure flattering，身材显得更好，也就是修身！
Jessica: Right! For example, A lot of women find black to be a figure flattering color。
FF: 对！ 黑色特修身。不过，要想尝试各种风格的打扮，不能光靠衣服，还得身材好。瘦才是王道！
Jessica: So...Are you going on a diet?
FF: Go on a diet? 节食？没错！ 虽然我已经不是头一次减肥，但这次不同，我要来个地狱式的节食减肥！
Jessica: 地狱？Hell? Oh, You must be referring to a crash diet, where people stop eating, exercise like crazy and do extreme things to lose weight quickly。
FF: 对！ 不吃，狂运动，迅速瘦身！ 原来地狱式节食就是a crash diet. c-r-a-s-h, crash. 我拼得对么？
Jessica: Correct. But Fangfang, it's a painful process, isn't it?
FF: 可不是么！ 我这几天头晕眼花，就是因为吃太少。Jessica, 待会儿咱们去吃烤鸭吧！
Jessica: 你不减肥啦？
FF: 就一顿嘛，放纵一下！
Jessica: Be careful! This is binge eating! Binge is spelled b-i-n-g-e. Binge eating is when you eat a lot more food in one meal than you usually do。
FF: 我明白了，binge eating就是暴饮暴食。
Jessica: 对！ I hope you can get slimmer in a healthy way. But now, let's see what you've learned today!
FF: 第一，修饰身材叫 figure flattering；
第二，节食叫go on a diet，地狱式节食是a crash diet；
第三，暴饮暴食是binge eating。
