如何形容美女

 

在中文裡我們有很多形容美女的詞彙或成語，如天姿國色，沉魚落雁，傾國傾城,閉月羞花等等…英語中用來形容女孩子的字眼也不少，但跟中文比起來就真的是小巫見大巫了。不知道那種語言裡還有更多的語彙來形容美女。

 

1. 天姿國色：one can use heavenly beauty (eg, She is a heavenly beauty/ she is heavenly/She is heavenly beautiful), angelic, unearthly (eg unearthly beautiful), and goddess (as in “She is a goddess.”) Similar to天姿國色and獨一無二,無以倫比, 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：把天姿國色譯成“ surpassing beauty.”或“ Reigning beauty”是錯的。

 

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”的意思並不是她有沉魚落雁之容，而是她能用甜蜜的嗓音、話語勸說小鳥從樹上落下，或者她有魔法讓小鳥從樹上落下的意思。“…beauty to shut out the moon …make fish sink and geese settle…” are good translations, but not what we are looking for here.

 

3. 傾國傾城.："The face that launched a thousand ships" is a reference to Helen of Troy in Homer's Iliad.荷馬史詩中的特洛伊的海倫。 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. 其他說法：delectable, luscious, mouth-watering,

 

5. 養眼：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. 她很豐滿：There are lots of English words for that! 例如：She is stacked/ well stacked.這是俚語，在正式場合中最好避免使用。其他說法：She has a great figure/an hourglass figure. She is curvaceous, well-built, well-proportioned, shapely, statuesque,…

 

8. 秀氣，高雅，有氣質：elegant, classy, ​​refined, graceful, cultured, chic , majestic, exquisite, polished…
