用來表達“THIN”的各種單詞

The opposite of fat is thin. Some alternative words are slim, slender, skinny, lean, wiry, petite, and lanky. In general, thin, slim, and slender are more positive, whereas skinny is often used as a criticism or negative point.

胖的反義詞就是thin(瘦)啦。其他的一些表達包括slim, slender, skinny, lean, wiry, petite和lanky。一般說來，thin，slim和slender是更具褒義的，skinny則是有一點批評的意味或者貶低的含義。

The words lean and wiry mean that the person is thin AND muscular. The word petite is only used for women, and means that the woman is short AND thin. Finally, the word lanky means tall and thin.

Lean和wiry意味著一個人不僅很苗條而且有肌肉。Petite則是用來描述瘦小的女性的。最后，又高又瘦的女性則用lanky來表達。
