翻译公司最新消息: 不久前姚明结婚了,你看到了吗?呃,如果当时你也在上海,你应该不会错过的,毕竟,他有着7英尺6英寸的身高,而他“娇小”的妻子叶莉也有着6英尺2英寸的身高。
Did you see that Yao Ming got married not long ago? Well, if you were there in Shanghai you couldn’t miss it. After all, he’s 7'6", and his petite bride, Ye Li, is 6'2".
然而,这个事实有着很大的说服力。美国人正在变得越来越矮。呃,不是我们在变矮,而是姚明和叶莉以及世界上很多其他人正在变高。天哪,荷兰人现在的平均身高是6英尺多——那仅仅是平均身高啊!
But then, this is telling. Americans are getting shorter. Well, we’re not getting shorter, it’s just that Yao Ming and Ye Li and lots of other people around the world are getting taller. Good grief, Dutchmen now average — average — more than 6 feet.
然而,在过去的大概50年里,我们自己人的身高却在5英尺9英寸左右停滞不前。难怪我们再也不能在篮球比赛中¾¬常战胜其他国家了。怎么会这样呢?典型的美国人形象可是有着大长腿、四肢修长、骨瘦如柴的啊。
However, for about the last 50 years, our guys have been stuck at around 5-feet-9-and-change. No wonder we don’t win basketball games against other countries much any more. How can this be? The very image of the American was of that long-legged, rangy, raw-bone type.
