Collins	fat ★★★★☆ /fæ̱t/ 1 [ADJ-GRADED 能被表示程度的副词或介词词组修饰的形容词](人或动物)肥胖的，肥的 If you say that a person or animal is fat, you mean that they have a lot of flesh on their body and that they weigh too much. You usually use the word fat when you think that this is a bad thing. [disapproval] I could eat what I liked without getting fat... 我怎么吃都不胖。 After five minutes, the fat woman in the seat in front of me was asleep. 5分钟后，我前排座位上的胖女人便睡着了。 fatness No one knows whether a child's tendency towards fatness is inherited or due to the food he eats. 没人知道儿童的发胖倾向是遗传还是食物造成的。 Usage Note : If you describe someone as fat, you are speaking in a very direct way, and this may be considered rude. If you want to say more politely that someone is rather fat, it is better to describe them as plump, or more informally, as chubby. Overweight and obese are used to describe someone who may have health problems because of their size or weight. Obese is also a medical term used to describe someone who is extremely fat or overweight. In general you should avoid using any of these words in the presence of the person you are describing. 用 fat 来形容某人肥胖过于直接，而且有可能会被认为没有礼貌。表达此意更礼貌的说法是 plump 或 chubby，其中 chubby更口语化。形容某人因块头过大或体重过重而出现健康问题时用 overweight 和 obese。obese 还是医学术语，用以形容某人极度肥胖或过重。一般说来，这些词都应该避免当面使用。 2 [N-UNCOUNT 不可数名词](动物或人的)肥肉，脂肪 Fat is the extra flesh that animals and humans have under their skin, which is used to store energy and to help keep them warm.

When you use oil or fat for cooking, use as little as possible. 烹调时不论是植物油还是动物油，都要尽量少用。 ...vegetable fats, such as coconut oil and palm oil. 椰子油和棕榈油一类的植物油 4 [N-MASS 物质名词](食物中的)脂肪 Fat is a substance contained in foods such as meat, cheese, and butter which forms an energy store in your body. An easy way to cut the amount of fat in your diet is to avoid eating red meats... 减少饮食中脂肪摄入量的简单方法就是避免吃红肉。 Most low-fat yogurts are about 40 calories per 100g. 大多数低脂酸奶每100克约含40卡热量。 5 [ADJ-GRADED 能被表示程度的副词或介词词组修饰的形容词](尤指书)厚的，宽的 A fat object, especially a book, is very thick or wide. ...'Europe in Figures', a fat book published on September 22nd... 9 月 22 日出版的大部头书《数说欧洲》 He took out his fat wallet and peeled off some notes. 他掏出鼓鼓的钱包，抽出几张钞票。 6 [ADJ-GRADED 能被表示程度的副词或介词词组修饰的形容词](利润或费用)巨大的，丰厚的 A fat profit or fee is a large one.

[INFORMAL 非正式] 'I think we should go in and hammer them.' — 'And a fat lot of good that would do us.' “我觉得我们应该进去把他们狠揍一顿。”——“那对我们有个屁用。”
