小心“节后缩水”

“最伤感的并不是当你长发及腰那人却已婚，而是当你正留着头发，却发现腰没了。”春节期间大吃大喝的时候，千万别忘记挂念着自己的体重，不然你可不只是要往外掏红包，还要破费重新买衣服了。

Christmas tight refers to the period of time after Christmas and New Years where the clothes you wore prior to the holidays that fit well, all of a sudden are a little tighter than they should be.
圣诞节和新年之后，你发现你节前穿正好的衣服，居然有些紧了。这就是“节后缩水”。

Christmas tight happens because there is so much delicious food during the big holidays, and you just cannot help yourselves.
发生节后缩水是因为在这种盛大的节日里美味的食物太多了，你忍不住狂吃。

例句： I got this new dress shirt for Christmas. I went to wear it with my favorite work pants, but they are a little Christmas tight now.
我为圣诞节新买了这件衬衫。之前我一直拿它和我最爱的工装裤搭配，但现在有点儿节后缩水了。
