哑铃是什么生肖肖?
当然是龙了,因为哑铃(dly)拼音第一字母是d,龙在十二生肖中排首位,所以是龙啦~ 以下用英文搜索引擎搜到的关于哑铃的有趣事实: The ancient Greeks started exercising with lightweight bars called dumbbells. The word "dumbbell" comes from the Greek word meaning "weightless." 古希腊人在用一种叫做dumbell的轻量杠铃进行锻炼。“dumbbell”这个词来自于希腊语“无重量”的意思。 In the US, 20% of people own a set of dumbbells and 78% of women use them as compared to only 19% of men.在美国,20%的人拥有一套哑铃,其中女性的使用率比男性高78%,而男性的使用率仅为19%。 The average American weighs about 35 lbs (16 kg) more than they did in 1960, yet their hand size has not increased proportionally. In fact, Americans have the smallest hands on record, especially when considering how much technology we use that requires dexterity. One possible reason for this is that we don't use our hands enough while sitting at computers and other devices. Another reason could be that we are eating less healthy food and getting fatter but it would be too expensive and difficult to re-engineer all our homes, buildings and cars for everyone’s benefit. 美国人的平均体重比1960年增加了约35磅(16公斤),但他们的手大小却没有成比例增加。事实上,美国人有有史以来最小手,尤其是考虑到我们使用很多需要手指灵巧性的技术和设备。一个可能的原因是我们的手的使用不够多,尤其是在电脑和其他设备上。另一个原因可能是我们所吃的食物越来越不健康而且变胖了。但是重新设计所有的家庭、建筑和汽车对于所有人来说太昂贵且困难。人们只好购买昂贵的器械来弥补身体机能的缺失,比如哑铃等。
