虎背熊腰用英语怎么读

虎背熊腰的拼音：hǔ bèi xióng yāo

褒义词，指背宽厚如虎，腰粗壮如熊。形容人身体魁梧健壮。

近义词：身强力壮、膀大腰粗、力大如牛。

反义词：骨瘦如柴 、弱不禁风、瘦骨嶙峋。

一、用意译的方法去翻译，必须体现这一成语的内涵。即形容人身强体健，在力大无比的同时身体又具有极强的灵活性和柔韧性。“熊腰”比喻人身体肌肉的发达、结实,而“虎背”则寓意着矫健的体魄。

1. Someone who has a thick, powerful and flexible back and shoulders

背部厚实、强壮、灵活而肩膀有力的人；

2. Someone who is of a stocky and imposing build with sinuous posture

健壮结实、身材伟岸、身形矫健的人。

二、如果用直译的方法去翻译，也要将“虎背”的灵活性和“熊腰”的强健特征结合在一起。

be strong as a bear in the hips with a back as supple as a tiger

注释：in the hips 髋部到腰部区域，strong as a bear in the hips 像熊的髋部到腰部区域一样的强壮 ; back as supple as a tiger 背部灵活矫健。

例句：We are impressed by the man who is strong as a bear in the hips with a back as supper as a tiger. 这个虎背熊腰的男子给我们留下了深刻印象。
