英语对话学习：Five o'clock shadow 男人的胡茬

线话英语|2015-05-08 16:00:01

　　今天Larry跟李华一起去参加《哈利波特》的电影首映会。Li Hua非常爱好饰演哈利波特的丹尼尔拉德克利夫，愉快不已。英语对话学习Li Hua会学到两个常用语：glam跟five o'clock shadow.
 
 
　　LH: 今天能见到丹尼尔拉德克利夫耶！我的白马王子！
　　LL: WOW. Lihua, you must be really excited to meet Harry Potter in person.
　　LH: 那当然，他简直是太帅了……
　　(The cast of Harry Potterwalk out)
　　LL: Oh look, it's the cast! They sure look glam!
　　LH: Glam是什么意思啊？听起来仿佛glamorous.
　　LL: You're absolutely correct! Glam means glamorous. It describes someone wearing fashionable clothing and make-up, especially when done excessively.
　　LH: 所以glam就是魅力四射的意思。那你又说尤其是用在适度打扮的人身上，这么说这个词有负面的意思喽？（英语对话学习单词讲解）
　　LL: Not at all. Glam, like glamorous, is used to describe people who dress up in a way that they really stand out, but stand out in a good way. It is often used to describe celebrities.
　　LH: 本来如此。Glam是用来形容打扮华丽的人，而不是适度装扮的人，所以形容明星最合适！那太好了，我一定要学起来，等会告诉丹尼尔。
　　LL: I'm sure Daniel Radcliffe will be very happy to hear it.
　　LH: Larry, you're such a glam today!
　　LL: Uh, thank you? Why are you saying it to me? I'm only wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
　　LH: 我只是想练习一下！省得等会搞砸了。哎，我这么说对吗？
　　LL: Well, you said "you're such a glam today". Which means you used the word glam as a noun. However, it is an adjective, just like the original word, glamorous. So you would have to say, "you're so glam today".
　　LH: 我明白了，glam是形容词，所以我刚应当说"you're so glam today"，而不是"you're such a glam today."
　　LL: Yup, that's right.
　　(The actors are slowly walking towards Larry and Li Hua's direction)
　　LH: 快看，那不是哈利嘛！哈利！哈利！
　　LL: Hmmm...slow down Lihua. Are you sure that's Harry? I didn't know Harry has a five o'clock shadow.
　　LH: 你在说什么呀！我说演哈利的丹尼尔来了，又没问你时间...而且当初才三点，别捣鬼。
　　LL: No, I mean he has a beard. A five o'clock shadow is facial stubble, it sometimes describes a man's beard at the end of the day.
　　LH: 啊？原来five o'clock shadow是指胡子，就是男生一天下来，到下战书五点就会长出来的一点点胡子，所以人们就用five o'clock shadow来形容男生脸上的胡子茬子。
　　LL: Yes. That is correct. After a day's work, many men will have a noticeable growth of facial hair. Since most people finish work around five o'clock, it's called a five o'clock shadow.
　　LH: 啊，Larry, you have a five o'clock shadow too! 你今天早上不刮胡子吧?
　　LL: No I don't. Do I? (try to distract Lihua) Look! Harry's getting closer, don't you want to take pictures?
　　LH: 唉呀！差点忘了。我的照相机……在……这！
　　(Li Hua zooms in to take a picture of Harry)
　　LH: 他真有 a five o'clock shadow 耶……不过还是好帅！
　　LL: Ai, Li Hua. I didn't know you were so attracted to glam celebrities.
　　LH: Not all the glam celebrities. 只有哈利！
　　LL: But he has a five o'clock shadow. Didn't you say that you can't stand men who have a beard.
　　LH: 你是说他今天留胡子，所以我不应该喜好吗！可是，他连留胡子都这么丢脸！哈利，哈利！！啊过错,丹尼尔！我都弛缓得语无伦次了。
　　LL: Hey, practice using what you just learned! And tell him how handsome he is.
　　LH: Harry! You have a five o'clock shadow!!
　　(People turn around to stare at Li Hua)
　　LH: 等等, 我刚说了什么……
　　LL: Harry, she meant to say you are very glam!
　　LH: 哎, 真争脸……
