如果有人劝你 take the weight
off1 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
found2 a nice coffee shop and
took3 the weight off her feet.
Don't walk to school today. Go on the bus and take the weight off your feet.
请注意
大家可千万别把 to take the weight off your feet 和 to carry your
own4 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
finally5 got6 a job! Our father kept telling him that at 30 he is old enough to leave home and carry his own weight.
