“马甲线”英语怎么说

名词解释：马甲线是平坦腹部的最高境界。没有赘肉的腹部，还要有肌肉线条，就在肚脐两侧两条直立的肌肉线，看起来很像马甲，因此被称为马甲线。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

Angling to get the firm abs of a Victoria's Secret model? One personal trainer insists that sticking to sit-ups won't get you there.

"Just doing sit-ups alone won't get you rock hard abs because you're only working to strengthen one singular area, which is like trying to build the outer layers of a house with no foundations underneath," she explained.

It means that unless you're doing sit-ups as part of a greater work-out routine —— like with cardio and planks —— you shouldn't expect to see any visible results when looking at your tummy in the mirror.

想要练成“维密”模特的马甲线?一位私人教练表示，坚持做仰卧起坐并不能让你如愿以偿。

她解释说，“只做仰卧起坐不能练腹肌，因为你仅仅是在锻炼一个身体部位，这就好比是为一个还没有地基的房子修建外墙。”

这意味着，除了仰卧起坐，还要定期进行其他健身活动，比如有氧运动、平板支撑，否则就别指望着对着镜子里的肚子能看出任何效果。

【讲解】

文中的firm abs就是“马甲线”的意思，abs是abdominal muscles的简称。其中firm作形容词，多指组织与构造是“坚硬的，结实的”，如：firm mattress (坚硬的床垫);而solid指结构很坚固，能抵抗任何压力，如：solid foundation(结实的地基)

最后一句中的visible是形容词，意为“明显的，看得见的”，如：This star is visible only at sunset. (这颗星星只有在日落时才能看到。)
