形容女孩的四字成语英文翻译
形容女孩的四字成语英文翻译沉鱼落雁倾国倾城国色天香闭月羞花婀娜多姿粉妆玉琢红飞翠舞美如冠玉捧心西子文过饰非宛转蛾眉文章星斗鲜眉亮眼信言不美衣冠楚楚玉貌花容粉妆玉琢粉装玉琢红飞翠舞玉貌花容装点门面装潢门面倾国倾城如花似玉花枝招展5.ithinksheisahottie.她是个辣妹.所谓的hottie就是指那种很辣的辣妹,穿着打扮各方面可能都非常地时髦.或是你也可以说,hotbabe或是hotchick.但有一点请注意,也许你在国内对一个女孩子说,你真是个辣妹啊!她可能还会蛮高兴的,但是在美国你不可以去跟女孩子说youareahottie.那么你可能换回一巴掌.另外有一个字眼跟hottie很像,叫hottamale,但是这个字一般而言比较少人在用.hottamale原是一种墨西哥食物,被引申成为辣妹的意思,不过这个用法比hottie更强烈,hottie单指好看或漂亮的人,但hottamale则又加上了一些不能自己控制自己,有点疯狂的意思,所以也不要乱用喔.6.doyouknowjean?sheisacutie.你认识jean吗?她好可爱喔!看来中外皆然,女孩子总是分为二种,漂亮美艳型和活泼可爱型.至于那种遵守交通规则型(obeyingthetrafficrules则不在本文讨论范围之内)漂亮的女生叫hottie,相对的,可爱的女生就叫cutie.或是你单讲,sheissocute!也是不错的用法.7.sheiswell-developed.她很丰满.刚才说的是以脸蛋来分的,现在说的是以身材来分的.看到身材很好的女生,女生之间彼此会说sheiswell-developed或是well-endowed.(转载)。
