”啤酒肚” 在英文裡叫 beer gut 或 beer belly
句型沒什麼特別, 比如就是 He has a beer gut.
gut 這個字原義是 ”膽”
所以說一個人有膽識就是用它的複數 guts
像是: He has (a lot of) guts.
gut 也常用來指一個人直覺的來處
比如 I have a gut feeling that this will not work well.
a gut feeling 就是中文裡講的 ”直覺”
叫別人 ”跟著直覺走” 這句話就是 (Just) Go with your gut.
至於肚子上因為脂肪堆積, 在身體兩側產生用手一捏就有一把的肥肉
則是叫 love handles
如果是整個一圈的肥肉, 叫做 spare tire(s) (原義是 ”備胎”, 哈哈)

I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
