基本释义
[adjective] (formal or medical) (of people) very fat, in a way that is not healthy
[形容词] 臃肿虚胖的；病态肥胖的
深入解读
obese 源于拉丁语动词 obdere devour（吞食）的过去分词形式 obesus。大概是基于吞食可能发胖这一点，obese 被赋予“过度或病态肥胖的”一义。由于比较贬义，要慎用 obese 形容肥胖的人。一般来说，对于身材丰满浑身胖乎的人，可以用 plump 形容，对于中年发福外形富态的人，可以用 corpulent 表示，对于个子不高身体肥胖的人可以用 squat 形容。
影视用例
出自1995年美国犯罪电影《七宗罪》（Seven）。该片以罪犯约翰·杜制造的连环杀人案件为线索，从警员沙摩塞和米尔斯的视角出发，讲述了“七宗罪”系列谋杀案的故事。
