全网最酷美语怎么说:第35期 我的腿坐麻了

 　　Nick: Hi everybody, this is Nick. Welcome to teaching series"how do you say this in American English."

　　Nick:大家好，我是Nick.

　　David: Hi guys. My name is David

　　Nick: 腿麻了，相信很多人都体会过这种感觉吧，当你坐着太久不动，然后站起身，你就感觉到腿很麻，行动不便。但是呢，通常几十秒就可以缓解。这可能因为血液不太畅通，我不是医生，所以不太清楚。那腿麻了美语要怎么说？

　　Nick: Hey David. What are you doing here? No offence but you do look like a cripple. What happened to you? Need some help?

　　David: I can't feel my legs right now.

　　Nick: Whoa why?

　　David: I guess I've just been sitting too long. When I sit for so long, my legs just become sore from sitting for such an extended period of time. I just feel like ugh… I can't feel anything in my legs. Just like tingling¹.

　　Nick: Oh it must hurtful. I've been there before this morning. I was cramming² for my exam so I was literally³ sitting all morning and didn't stand up at all. When I tried to grab some lunch, I was like"what the hell are my legs still there?" I felt miserable⁴ and my legs recovered 1 minute later.

　　David: Yeah, that's terrible. It always feels bad right after you stand up. You just can't feel you legs. But it usually goes away. It's different from when you work out though.

　　Nick: Oh yeah. In that situation, you can't feel legs.

　　David: Yeah like one time I worked out, I ran a whole marathon. And after that my legs were so sore that I could barely move. In that situation, I could've said I can't feel my legs. But it would've been better for me to say I feel like I got hit by a train.

　　Nick: I got hit by a train. Wow that's vivid.

　　David: Yeah I usually say I can't feel my legs if you that I haven't been moving it at all. I've just been lying and bent⁵ all day. Now my legs are upset that I'm trying to stand again

　　Nick: Ok, thank you. David说，当你久坐的时候，你的腿会麻，那种让你感到很痛苦，就可以说I can't feel my legs。但是在那种你做了很长时间的运动，比如说跑步，比如他说跑马拉松，非常的累，那这种时候可以用I can't feel my legs，人家会懂。但是他个人会喜欢说my legs got hit by a train，就像被火车撞了。因为那种麻不是久坐的麻，这种痛苦是不太一样的，所以他会用另一种表达. So this is pretty much it for this time. I'll see you guys next time. Bye

　　David: see you guys.
