线话英语|2011-07-26 14:14:26

        在中文里我们有很多形容美女的词汇或成语, 如天姿国色,沉鱼落雁, 倾国倾城, 闭月羞花等等… 英语中用来形容女孩子的字眼也不少, 让我们一起来看看吧。

1. 天姿国色one can use heavenly beauty (e.g, She is a heavenly beauty/ she is heavenly/She is heavenly beautiful), angelic, unearthly (e.g. unearthly beautiful), and goddess (as in “She is a goddess.”)

 天姿国色,独一无二, 无以伦比等可以用 unique, one-of-a-kind, unsurpassing/unsurpassable, has no equal, unequaled, incomparable, unmatched/unmatchable, second to none, unrivaled等表达。

 例如:Her beauty is unequaled/unmatchable/unique in all the land.

注意:把天姿国色译成 “ surpassing beauty.”“ Reigning beauty” 是错的。

 

2. 沉鱼落雁Drop-dead gorgeous. Drop-dead means extremely. (=You can die on the spot due to the shock of seeing such stunning beauty.) A face one could die for, stunning/Stunningly beautiful.

注意:“ She could charm the birds from the trees” 的意思并不是她有沉鱼落雁之容,而是她能用甜蜜的嗓音、话语劝说小鸟从树上落下,或者她有魔法让小鸟从树上落下的意思。

“…beauty to shut out the moon …make fish sink and geese settle…” are good translations, but not what we are looking for here. 

 

3. 倾国倾城"The face that launched a thousand ships" is a reference to Helen of Troy in Homer’s Iliad. 荷马史诗中的 特洛伊的海伦.In the Epic, Helen is the femme-fatale that caused the fall of Troy. (femme-fatale 致命的女人 or 红颜祸水. )

例如: She has face that could launch a thousand ships.

 

 

4. 养眼a feast for the eyes/ a sight for sore eyes 

5.出水芙蓉 Venus rising from the sea.(also known as: Venus on a half shell) 

 

6. 她很丰满 There are lots of English words for that!例如:She is stacked/ well stacked. 这是俚语,在正式场合中最好避免使用

其他说法She has a great figure/an hourglass figure. She is curvaceous, well-built, well-proportioned, shapely, statuesque,…

 1. 秀气,高雅,有气质:elegant, classy, refined, graceful, cultured, chic, majestic, exquisite, polished… 

2. 性感 sexy, sensual, sensuous, seductive, hot, titillating, erotic, voluptuous
