就是啊,当然啦,你丰满的胸部大概给你增加了不少实际的重量,所以肩膀一放松就含胸了,这一含胸连带着就驼背了,一驼背脖子就前倾了,不是我打击你啊,这脖子一前倾就像缩头乌龟一样了。

That's it. Of course. Your ample bosom probably adds some actual weight to you, so as soon as you relax your shoulders, it sucks your breasts in a bit. You holding your breasts in leads to you stooping. When you stoop your neck hunches forward. I'm not attacking you, but the way your neck hunches over makes you look like a turtle with its head in its shell.

Yes, sinking your shoulders and pushing your chest out shrinks your lower abdomen.

As for your inner confidence, for that you have to rely on internalizing knowledge and a good attitude.

父亲是一个胖子,走过去自然要费事些。我本来要去的,他不肯,只好让他去。我看见他戴着黑布小帽,穿着黑布大马褂,深青布棉袍,蹒跚地走到铁道边,慢慢探身下去,尚不大难。可是他穿过铁道,要爬上那边月台,就不容易了。他用两手攀着上面,两脚再向上缩;他肥胖的身子向左微倾,显出努力的样子。这时我看见他的背影,我的泪很快地流下来了。我赶紧拭干了泪,怕他看见,也怕别人看见。我再向外看时,他已抱了朱红的橘子望回走了。

My father's a big guy, to get there would be quite a bit of effort for him. I wanted to go instead, but he just wouldn't let me. I just had to give into my insistent father. I looked over at my father, in his black cloth cap, black knee-length robe and dark green cotton-padded jacket, teetering his way toward the railway and lowering his way down there, which wasn't too difficult. Yet, the difficult part was climbing up to the platform after crossing the tracks. He tightly placed his hands on the top of the platform, shrinking back his legs, his heavy body tilted slightly to the left. The sight was of a many trying his very best. As I took this scene in, looking at his back, my tears rushed down my face. I rushed to wipe away my tears, afraid of being seen by him, or by any others. When I look out again, he was already on his way back, carrying those bright tangerines.
