The rear part of the torso is called the back.  Within each side of the

upper back are flat bones called shoulder blades.  Down through

the center of the back, from the neck to the bottom of the torso, is a

series of bones called the spine or backbone.  The small bones

that make up the spine are called vertebrae.  The bottom end of the

spine is called the tail bone.  The kidneys are located on either side

of the spine inside the lower section of the back.

脊椎或脊柱叫:spine ,  backbone

构成脊椎的小脊椎骨叫:vertebrae

肾叫:kidney

Below the back and on either side of the tailbone are fleshy mounds

called buttocks.  The buttocks provide padding when we sit down. 

There are many English words used to refer to a person's buttocks,

but some of them are not very polite.  Here are some that are not so

bad: backside, rear end, butt, posterior, gluteus maximus (the name

of the main muscle in the buttocks).

屁股叫:buttock

你可使用的不含贬义的屁股词汇有:backside,rear end,butt,posterior,

gluteus maximus

At the top center of the torso are two bones that slant down to the

top center of the chest.  These are called your collar bones, or

clavicles. In the center of your chest is a flat bone called the breast

bone or sternum.  On both sides of a man's chest are dark circular

patches of skin with a small bump in the center.  This bump, and sometimes the whole dark patch, is called a nipple.  Women have similar,

but larger bumps, also called nipples, at the tips of fleshy mounds

called breasts.

collar bone或clavicle:锁骨

breast bone,或sternum:胸骨

乳头叫nipple,当然国外谈女人时一般叫:tits,

乳房叫breast,老外常叫boob

In the center of the abdomen is a round area of scar tissue called

the navel or belly button.  The area around your torso, below your

ribs and passing over your navel is called your waist.  The sides of

your torso are called sides - left side or right side.

肚脐叫navel(要区分naval海军的)或叫belly button, 腰是waist

Finally, we will deal with the parts of your body known as your

extremities: arms, hands, legs and feet.  The dividing line between

your torso and your legs is a little confusing.  On either side of your

body below your waist, where the upper leg bone, or thigh, meets

the pelvis bone, is an area known as your hips.  Between your hips, at the very bottom of your torso, is your body's equipment for elimination of waste and for procreation (making babies).  These are the parts that I will not name in this lesson.  If you want this information, request it in an e-mail.  I will then send you the acceptable English words for those parts and diagrams from a medical book to illustrate them.

注意hip在我们的词典一般译成臀部,其实它是指身体两侧腰下边的那部分,而我们中文臀指屁股,英语叫buttock

生殖系统词汇属英语禁忌语,但国外生活中很常用,我们会把常用进行说明.

The upper part of your leg is called your thigh.  At the bottom of the

thigh is a joint called the knee which allows your leg to bend.  On the

front of the knee is a bone called the kneecap, or patella.  The lower half of your leg is called  your shin and the bone in the front of your lower leg is the shin bone.  The back of your lower leg is called your calf.  This mainly refers to the large muscle at the top rear of your lower leg.  The lower leg ends at your ankle joint.  Your foot is connected to the other end of the ankle.  The back of the foot is a well-padded area known as your heel.  The front of your foot ends in five toes, the largest one called your big toe and the smallest one called your little toe.  The tops of the toes are protected by your toenails.

 膝盖骨:kneecap或patella

腿肚自:calf   , 脚脖自:ankle  ,脚后跟heel

The place where your upper arm joins your torso is called your shoulder.  The most common term for your upper arm is just that, upper arm.  The large muscle in the front of your upper arm is called your bicep.  The upper arm connects to the lower arm, or forearm, at a joint called the elbow.  The two bones of your forearm meet at your wrist joint.  Your hand is connected to the other end of the wrist,  A normal hand consists of a palm (the fleshy, padded front part of the hand), one thumb and four fingers.  The finger next to the thumb is called your index finger.  The finger furthest from the thumb is your little finger, or pinkie.  Next to the little finger is your ring finger.  The hard materials at the end of your fingers are called fingernails (or thumbnail on your thumb).

biceps二头肌(就是咱们比胳膊肌肉时的那块,肩膀下的那块)必带s.

palm掌

forearm前臂(胳膊肘往下)

index finger食指

ring finger无名指
