实用英语口语：用英语聊聊“宅男宅女”
Jessica: Wuqiong, 听说你表妹从上海来看你了，怎么样， Are you two getting along？
wq: 唉，她哪是来看我。成天待在家里，根本不理我，每天就知道上网，看电视，也不出去玩儿。标准的宅女! 像这种特殊“宅”的人，在美语里叫什么？
Jessica: I think you can call them “homebodies“. A homebody is a person who prefers to stay at home and seldom goes out.
wq: homebody? home就是家的意思，body是身体，两个词连在一起---身体长在家里了，就是homebody! 宅男宅女! My cousin is totally a homebody! 哈哈，我回家要告知她这句话!
Jessica: Well, you can also call her a “shut-in“. s-h-u-t, shut; i-n, in--shut-in.
wq: 哦，shut-in也是指不情愿出门和别人交往的宅男宅女! 我要告知我表妹，Don”t be a shut-in! Go out and get some fresh air!
Jessica: 对! 让她出去转转，不然，Her brain will rot if she stays home and stares at a screen all the time!
wq: 啊？r-o-t, rot 不是腐烂么？Her brain will rot 就是“她脑子要发霉”的意思吧？
