对话精讲

第一 地道短语

stretch one’s legs

1 解词释义

Stretch one’s legs的字面意思是“伸展腿脚”，引申为“活动身体”或“进行体育锻炼”。

2 支持范例

She went out to stretch her legs after lunch.

她午饭后出去散步了。

We should get out and stretch our legs. We have been sitting all day.

我们已经坐一整天了，应当出去走动走动。

I got down at almost every stage to stretch my legs.

我几乎每到一站都下来散散步。

第二 句海拾贝

My legs fall sleep.

句意：我的腿麻了。

点拨：这么表示腿部麻了，用了很形象的短语fall asleep。Fall asleep是睡着的意思，在这里比喻“腿不能行动了没有知觉了”。
