外貌協(xié)會必備：37個實(shí)用英語單詞描述外表（一）
在這一課里，你將學(xué)會37個用來描述人的外表的英語單詞，以后媽媽再也不用擔(dān)心我們“評頭論足”的時候詞窮啦!
Let’s begin with the word beautiful – in English, this word is mostly used for women. We use the word handsome for men. To describe beautiful women, we also have the words pretty, lovely, gorgeous, and stunning – “stunning” means extremely beautiful, like a woman who is so beautiful that she attracts a lot of attention!
我們就從基礎(chǔ)款beautiful開始吧——在英語中，這個詞大多數(shù)時候是用于描述女性的。對于帥鍋呢，我們一般會用handsome。一些用來說“美女”的進(jìn)階單詞還包括：pretty，lovely，gorgeous和stunning——“stunning”的意思是女性極為漂亮，各種吸引注意力。
Another expression to describe a woman like this is to say that “She turns heads” –implying that when she walks down the street, people turn their heads to focus their attention on her.
還有一個用來說女生炒雞炒雞美的慣用語是“She turns heads”——意思是當(dāng)這個女生走在大街上的時候，大家都會回過頭來定睛凝視(也就是我們說的“回頭率高”嘛)!
The words attractive, good-looking, cute, and hot can be used for both men and women. Cute is a more playful word to say a person is attractive; we often use “cute” for children and baby animals. And the word hot is a slang word that you should only use during informal conversations among friends.
對于兩性均適用的單詞則有：attractive, good-looking, cute 和hot。Cute是表達(dá)女性有吸引力的一種更調(diào)皮的說法;因?yàn)?ldquo;cute”經(jīng)常用來描述可愛的小孩或者小動物。Hot則是個俚語單詞，朋友聊天之外的場合你可別亂用。
The opposite of beautiful or handsome is ugly –but that’s a strong word, so most people express this idea using the negative form of one of the positive words, for example: “She’s not very attractive”or “He’s not so good-looking.”
美麗和帥氣的反義詞當(dāng)然是ugly丑陋啦——但是這可是一個感情色彩很強(qiáng)烈的單詞，所以大多數(shù)人一般會用以上褒義詞的否定說法來表達(dá)“丑”，比如說：“She’s not very attractive”或者“He’s not so good-looking”。
Finally, there is the word plain –that describes a person who is ordinary-looking –not especially beautiful/handsome, but not especially ugly either.
最后還有一個單詞plain——這個是用來表達(dá)一個人相貌平平的，沒有特別好看也沒有特別丑。
ENGLISH WORDS FOR “FAT”
“FAT”的多款表達(dá)法
Okay, now let’s learn some words to describe body shape and size. You already know the basic words fat and thin –but there are many other ways to say these.
好，那我們現(xiàn)在就來學(xué)習(xí)一些用來描述身材的單詞。你們肯定已經(jīng)知道了諸如fat, thin的入門級詞匯——不過還有很多種描述胖、瘦的表達(dá)。
A person who is fat can also be described as overweight, heavy, big, or large. The word for a person who is EXTREMELY fat is obese.
胖還可以用overweight，heavy，big和large來表達(dá)。用來說一個人胖到極點(diǎn)的詞是obese。
We also have the word chubby to describe fat children; husky or heavyset to describe fat men; and plump or curvy to describe fat women (the word curvy has a more positive connotation, implying that the woman has a nice, full, feminine body).
用來說小朋友比較胖的詞可以是chubby;肥胖的男性可以說成husky和heavyset;豐滿的女性則用plump和curvy來表達(dá)(curvy的含義更積極，意指女性的身材很好很飽滿，很有女人味)。
If you want to say a specific part of the body is fat, you can say it is flabby –for example, “I hate my flabby stomach.”(typically used for arms, stomach, thighs, and butt).
如果你想說身體的某一個特定部位比較胖，你可以用flabby——比如，你可以說“我太討厭我肉肉的肚子啦!”(這個詞一般可以用于胳膊、肚腩、大腿、臀部等部位)。
