I'm a chinese girl.Yesterday I read a sentence that "like a needle climbing up the bathroom scales, the number keeps rising".What's the meaning of it?
Thank you!
The "needle" is like a hand on a clock face. It is a pointer on a dial. It is rising....like my weight.
Funnily enough, on bathroom scales, usually the "needle" or red line is fixed, and the scale with the numbers rotates! Aha!

I just went to my bathroom and checked. My needle goes round---and moves up and up and up.

Well I know how you feel.
Ours is a digital one nowadays.

Digital scales are much more fearsomely official. You have my sympathy.
