Fat is the most usual and direct adjective to describe people with excess flesh, but it is not polite *fat是用以指人肥胖的最常用、 最直接的形容詞, 但含貶義
That suit's too tight -- it makes you look really fat. 那套衣服太瘦--顯得你很胖. More insulting are flabby, which suggests loose flesh, and podgy, used especially of fingers and hands. 貶義更強的詞是flabby(指肌肉松弛)和podgy(尤指手指和手). To be polite we can use plump, suggesting slight or attractive fatness, or stout, indicating overall heaviness of the body. 較禮貌些可用plump(指稍胖或豐滿)或stout(指身體胖得勻稱). Tubby is often used in a friendly way of people who are also short, and chubby indicates pleasant roundness in babies and cheeks. *tubby常用以指矮胖的人, 含親切感, 而chubby則用於嬰兒和臉頰, 意為圓胖而可愛. The most neutral term is overweight, while doctors use obese to describe people who are so overweight that they are unhealthy. 最無褒貶含義的詞是overweight, 醫生則用obese指胖得呈病態的人.
