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.
