今日短语
如果有人劝你 take the weight off your feet, 意思就是劝你坐下来，歇歇脚，坐下来休息一下，尤其是站久了。这个短语和你的体重可没有关系。
今日小常识
According to the official website of the Olympic movement, the Dutch were perhaps the earliest pioneers of skating. They began using canals to maintain communication by skating from village to village as far back as the 13th century.
根据奥运会官网记载，荷兰人可能是最早发明滑冰运动的人。远在13世纪的时候，荷兰人在结了冰的运河上来回滑走，以方便与其它村庄人们的联系。
例句
After walking around Paris for three hours non-stop, Mary found a nice coffee shop and took the weight off her feet.
Don’t walk to school today. Go on the bus and take the weight off your feet.
请注意
大家可千万别把 to take the weight off your feet 和 to carry your own weight 给混淆了。后一个短语的意思是自己对自己负责。
My brother has finally got a job! Our father kept telling him that at 30 he is old enough to leave home and carry his own weight.
