Take the weight off your feet

　　歇歇

　　Rob: Hello, its Rob here.

　　Helen: And me, Helen. 欢迎收听《地道英语》. Rob I dont know why we have to stand up when we present this programme its quite tiring.

　　Rob: Really? I thought standing up would give us more energy and sitting down makes us a bit lazy.

　　Helen: But Ive been standing up all day, this is my only chance to sit down. 我想先坐下来!

　　Rob: Why didnt you say. Here, have a chair, take the weight off your feet.

　　Helen: The weight?! Rob 说把重量从你脚上拿下来，这也太不礼貌了吧!Do you mean Im heavy and my feet cant carry the weight?

　　Rob: Helen dont be so sensitive. I was being kind. Its a way of saying, relax, sit down, especially after standing up for a long time. It has nothing to do with your actual weight.

　　Helen: Oh I see. Rob 原来是好意!To take the weight off your feet 意思是站了那么久，坐下来，歇一会儿。In that case I will.

　　Rob: Here are some other ways of saying it.

　　Weve been shopping all day, lets take the weight off our feet, sit down and have a cup of coffee.

　　Dont walk to work today, go on the bus and take the weight off your feet.

　　Rob: Those are different ways of taking the weight off your feet.
