如何用英语形容美女

时间：2011-07-23 08:55:35

（单词翻译:单击）

 　　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, 但跟中文比起来就真的是小巫见大巫了。不知道那种语言里还有更多的语汇来形容美女。

　　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.”)
　　Similar to 天姿国色 and 独一无二, 无以伦比, words that come to mind at the spur of the moment include unique, one-of-a-kind, unsurpassing/unsurpassable, has no equal, unequaled, incomparable, unmatched/unmatchable, second to none, and unrivaled.
　　例如：Her beauty is unequaled/unmatchable/unique in all the land.
　　注意：把天姿国色译成 “ surpassing beauty.”或“ Reigning1 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 stunning2 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 Epic3, 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 a face that could launch a thousand ships.
　　4. 秀色可餐：可用 “she is a dish”, although that is considered rather vulgar.
　　其他说法：delectable4, luscious5, mouth-watering,
　　5. 养眼：a feast for the eyes/ a sight for sore eyes
　　6. 出水芙蓉： Venus rising from the sea.(also known as: Venus on a half shell)
　　7. 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,…
　　8. 秀气，高雅，有气质：elegant, classy, refined, graceful6, cultured, chic7, majestic8, exquisite9, polished…
　　9. 性感 ：sexy, sensual, sensuous10, seductive, hot, titillating11, erotic, voluptuous12
　　副词形容程度：
　　1. She is a woman of uncompromising beauty and elegance13.
　　Uncompromising.
　　adj. Unwilling14 to grant concessions15 or negotiate; inflexible16
　　不妥协的, 强硬的, 不让步的
　　In the context above, it means 100%.
　　2. She is hauntingly beautiful.
　　Haunting adj. Continually recurring17 to the mind; unforgettable: a haunting melody. 常浮现于脑海中的, 不易忘怀的
　　其他相关说法：
　　Captivating To attract and hold by charm, beauty, or excellence18 迷住,
　　Ravishing Extremely attractive; entrancing.令人陶醉的, 迷人的, 引人入胜的
　　Enchanting19 To attract and delight; entrance. 使迷惑
