jo: what are you reading there li?
li: oh its just this weeks celebrity gossip magazine. 我有空的时候就喜欢看娱乐新闻的杂志，里面有好多明星的小道消息。look have you seen this picture of george clooney at the film festival?

jo: ooo yes, hes really fit isnt he?

li: fit? well, i dont know if he likes sports or not jo.

jo: no i dont mean fit as in healthy or sporty.

li: 是吗？难道这里 fit 不是健康，身体好的意思吗？

jo: well it does but in informal english it means good looking. so if you think a man is really handsome then you can say ╟ hes really fit!

jo: wow that’s something new. 你是说他看起来很帅，那 fit 这个词能用在漂亮的女孩身上吗?

jo: yes you can. you might hear a man say ╟ look at her ╟ shes really fit. and you often hear people say ╟ he or she is well fit. well means very in informal english.

li: well 是 very 的口语表达，那么 hes well fit 就是 he is very good looking 他长得可真帅，真有型。那jo， 我们是不是经常在非常随便的情况下才能听到这个词的使用呢？

jo: yes thats right. lots of young people use this word when theyre talking to their friend about who they like and dont like. heres some more examples.
