三八節(jié)當(dāng)下更多稱作“女神節(jié)”為什么只能放半天假?至!少!放!一!整!天!同意的小伙伴請(qǐng)舉手?

在這個(gè)美麗的節(jié)日里，不要忘記學(xué)習(xí)英文哦！

尤其下面這些對(duì)女同胞的贊美之詞

1. 天姿國(guó)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.”)

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

注意：把天姿國(guó)色譯成 “ surpassing beauty.”或“ Reigning beauty” 是錯(cuò)的。

2. 沉魚落雁：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魚落雁之容，而是她能用甜蜜的嗓音、話語(yǔ)勸說(shuō)小鳥(niǎo)從樹(shù)上落下，或者她有魔法讓小鳥(niǎo)從樹(shù)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. 傾國(guó)傾城："The face that launched a thousand ships" is a reference to Helen of Troy in Homer’s Iliad. 荷馬史詩(shī)中的 特洛伊的海倫.In the Epic, Helen is the femme-fatale that caused the fall of Troy. (femme-fatale 致命的女人 or 紅顏禍水. )

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.

其他說(shuō)法：delectable, luscious, mouth-watering,

5. 養(yǎng)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)
