喜樂美語
  1. 1伏地挺身（台灣說法；中國大陸較常說「俯臥撐」）

    A push-up is a body exercise: you lie face down, keep your body straight, and push yourself up off the floor with your arms, then lower yourself again. People do them to train the chest, arms, and shoulders. In American English this is the usual name; in British English many people say press-up for the same exercise, though push-up is widely understood. You count them (ten push-ups, a set of push-ups). Teachers and gyms use it as a simple, no-equipment drill. The word can also be an adjective in other compounds (a push-up bra), but that is a different use: here it is the exercise.

    「push-up」是徒手運動：趴在地上，身體保持挺直，用手臂把身體撐離地面，再慢慢放下，主要用來鍛鍊胸部、手臂和肩膀。數次數時會說「ten push-ups」或「a set of push-ups」。老師和健身房常用它做不需要器材的基本訓練。

    美式英文通常就說 push-up，英式英文很多人說 press-up，但 push-up 也廣為人知。「push-up bra」是另一種用法，指托高胸型的胸罩，和運動無關。
