Weight(体重)is one of the taboo subjects. In America, it is OK, or even good, to be thin but it is an embarrassment(尴尬) to be overweight. In fact, the thinner you are, the more beautiful you are thought to be. You’ll find that most models(模特) are nothing more than skin and bones. A woman who is thin is easy to become popular. Of course, there are lots of people do their best to be thin. They may use all kinds of ways, such as doing exercise, 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".
It is not polite for people to say that somebody is fat.
选项
A、Right.
B、Wrong.
C、Doesn’t say.
答案
A
解析
题句的意思是“说别人胖是不礼貌的”。短文最后一段呼应短文开头一句(Weight is one-of the taboo subjects),说明了不应询问别人体重以及如何谈论体重问题等内容。其中最后两句指出:if you would like to be honest and polite…you can not use the word“fat”。即若是想做到既诚实、又有礼貌,最好小心选择用词,比如说“你看起来很健康”之类的话,并且要记住.不能用“胖”这个词。由此可以推知,说别人胖虽然诚实,却是不礼貌的,故题句正确。事实上,由常识也可知本题正确。
