以上前三個例子的“氣質(zhì)”也有“品味”、“格調(diào)”的意味，而第四例則有“有個性”的意味。
三、至于“有錢沒氣質(zhì)”可以說: have lots of money but lack class，請見下例：
There was a time when a 5-star hotel was an acceptable substitute for a home away from home, and a meeting place for people having class, sophistication and culture. Instead today, these bastions of luxury are swamped by hordes who have an abundance of money but lack class.
(曾經(jīng)有一度五星級飯店被我們當作是另一個家，是有品味、有涵養(yǎng)的人士聚會的地方。而如今這些豪華的場所則充斥著一大批有錢沒氣質(zhì)的家伙。)
四、跟個性有關(guān)的氣質(zhì)英文叫"temperament", 如“性格與氣質(zhì)”可以說: character and temperament，如：
1. His inner character and temperament show that he is not warlike by nature nor do they suggest that he desires the status of a mighty imperial ruler.
(他內(nèi)在的性格與氣質(zhì)顯示本質(zhì)上他不好戰(zhàn)，也看不出他想成為武功顯赫君主。)
2. It is a person’s character and temperament that matters (more so than ability and relative intelligence) .
( 一個人的性格與氣質(zhì)最要緊——比能力和智力更重要。)
五、他們“氣質(zhì)不同”，這里的氣質(zhì)，英文可以說: disposition and nature ，例如：
1. But look a little deeper and you find that each of us is like a fingerprint; no two are exactly alike. Everyone is unique in character, disposition and nature. Like each of us, a dance school has a personality all its own.
(深入了解后你會發(fā)現(xiàn)就像指紋，每個人的個性、氣質(zhì)都是獨一無二的。
六、有“領(lǐng)袖氣質(zhì)”、“領(lǐng)袖魅力”可以說: charisma;影歌星受歡迎、有人氣也叫charisma。分別見下面兩例：

2. Eminem has charisma, Detroit has character.
( 阿姆有人氣，底特律有個性。)
七、男性風(fēng)度翩翩、有氣質(zhì)，可以說: debonair，如：
John Barrymore ... who is remembered both for his roles as a debonair leading man and for his interpretations of Shakespeare’ s
Richard III and Hamlet.
(大家都記得他擔(dān)任風(fēng)度翩翩、有氣質(zhì)的男主角，以及“成功的”詮釋/ 演出莎士比亞的理察三世和哈姆雷特。)
八、時尚女人的“高貴氣質(zhì)”，或所謂的“上流美”，可以說: chic，“時尚”和“高貴”，是所謂“上流美”的兩大要素。
參見下面諸例：

It’s chic and it’s stylish, a retro heart warmer filled with likable
characters.
(這地方很有氣質(zhì)，又有格調(diào)，復(fù)古溫馨，到處都是氣味相投的人。)
“氣質(zhì)”、“肉麻”之類的抽象名詞、形容詞等不像蘋果、西瓜、馬克杯等具象名詞，比較難在英文里找到完全的對應(yīng)詞(equivalent)，但在翻譯時如能依語境(context)所提供的信息來尋找英文在同樣環(huán)境下對應(yīng)的表達法，也可以找到相當接近的說法。
