谢谢芊芊斑斑~我理解你的意思啊，就是muscles 和means的单复问题矛盾了。

 

我也听到两个s了，你是不是选择让muscles变成单数（muscle）来配合means么？

我是让muscles保留复数，让means变成mean（s 我打括号了~）来配合muscles的复数。因为觉得这样跟前面relaxed muscles连贯。

 

语法都是对的，取舍不一样罢了 所以我也是标蓝呐

or perhaps "relaxed muscles" is considered a single concept here? like dollars in "100 dollars is enough" or persons in "two's company, three's a crowd"?

这样理解确实可以解决上面的dilemma，不过个人觉得钱看成整体毕竟是约定俗成的，大家从小就是这样学的。而muscle这种用法似乎比较少见，所以不是很肯定。

 

我去找找，如果能找到例句的话，就用这个办法。 大家也可以提供例句和出处，会重重奖励的

如果找不到，还是倾向于两个当中牺牲一个了，姑且认为播音员也有口误导致迷惑大众的情况。

 

 

 

补充一句感谢ｋｔｄｉｄ筒子～

well, i did a google search on "muscles means", and got some meaningful hits. not quite as convincing, i must say, because some obviously are from non-native english speakers.
but consider this: more muscles means less fat. a singular verb sounds natural here. the sentence could well be rephrased as "having more muscles means having less fat", but the latter seems a bit, shall we say, unwieldy?
btw, thanks for your kindness, princess moderator~

The Shaolin monks of China are famous for fighting skills and acrobatics, but above all, for their ability to somehow manage their senses. Does these really not hurt or do they just not mind the pain? To prepare themselves for their grueling acts, the monks use one of the oldest forms of pain control,meditation. “We have to focus 100 percent. We need willpower to change  our 气, our spiritual energy. When we meditate, we channel this spiritual energy throughout our body.” Meditation starts by changing how the body works: the heart slows, pumping less blood; the muscles relax. Relaxed muscles means less tension, which means less pain. But the strangest effect occurs in the brain. Astonishingly, although the brain is still alert, meditation lessens the emotional reaction to pain. It’s like turning down the volume. So when pain sensations hit, they have little effect. That’s how the monks can tolerate what for anyone else would be extraordinary pain. [ 本帖最后由 vicky1024 于 2008-7-11 20:58 编辑 ]

Astonishingly, although the brain is still alert, meditation lessens the emotional reaction to pain .It's like turning down the volume, so when pains and sensing hit, they have little effect. That's why the monks would tell anyone else would extraordinary pain.
