1. As fit as a fiddle
英文用小提琴(fiddle)象征健康,颇有深意。由于fit 和fiddle押头韵,念起来容易上口,所以这个短语很流行。

虽然经过长途旅行,爱丽斯到达的时候还是显得神采奕奕。
2. In the pink
气色红润,精力充沛说明一个人的身体不错。这个短语用来表示很健康。
例:Regular exercise helped to keep her in the pink.
定期运动能让她保持身体健康。
3. Alive and kicking
Alive表示活泼有生气,kicking也可指有活力的,两个词连在一起时意思是生龙活虎,精力旺盛。
例:My Grandma is in her 80s and still alive and kicking. She walks all over town.
我祖母80多了,但她仍然精力旺盛。她还在镇上到处走动。
4. In the best of health
表示身体特别棒,习语里还有这个说法,看来也是身体最佳状态了。
例:Bill is in the best of health. He eats well and exercises.
比尔身体特别好,他吃得香,还常锻炼。
