如果形容男人外表魅惑力大,能使女人「如饥似渴」般崇拜他,也可以说: * He has melted her down and made her knees buckle.(他把她溶化了,使她拜倒他的西装裤下)。 这句话老外通常不用在男人身上,也许因为男子应该比较坚强些吧!或且说: * So many women swarmed him like bees to the honey.(许多女人看到他,就像一群蜜蜂见到蜜那样蜂拥而至。) 倘若说:…… like flies to the garbage 指像一群苍蝇喜欢垃圾那样,当然就不是恭维了。 to be a beauty queen; to be a dream boat; to be a cutie; to be a babe; to be a fox. 这些都是形容女人漂亮,曲线玲珑,身材曼妙,挥身性感或散发一种性感的野性。 例如: * She is a beauty queen.(= very beautiful) * She is a cutie.(= pretty and attractive)(漂亮迷人) * She is a dream boat.(= ideal type of woman)(理想女人) * She is a babe.(= very beautiful and attractive) * She is a fox.(= She is a foxy lady = She is sexy.)(她很性感)。 注意:如果说: She is as sneaky(或 cunning)as a fox. 又是指她像狐狸一样的狡猾。 假如女人能使男人拜倒她的石榴裙下或神魂颠倒那么就能说: * Her beauty (attraction) has caused his knees to shake. (或 to quiver)(她的漂亮迷人使他膝部发抖)。或 * She made him feel up there in the clouds. (= on clouds nine = on the top of the world)(她使他神魂颠倒,飘飘然如仙。) 其实,所谓「情人眼里出西施」(Beauty is in the eyes of beholder),世上的美或丑,只是主观的看法而已。 to fall in love with (someone) to fall head over heels in love; to love (someone) from head to toe. 都是指男欢女爱,沉溺情海,或是爱得晕头转向。 例如: * They have fallen in love with each other for years.(他们相爱多年)。(动词时态:fall, fell, fallen) * He fell head over heels in love with her. (= He fell for her head over heels = He is head over-heels in love with her.)(他与她沉溺情海,爱得晕头转向。)多半指很快落入情海。 * He loves her from head to toe.(他从头到脚地爱她)。多指经过较长时间後才热恋, 或 * He falls madly in love with her. 至於男女热恋时「目中无人」或「形影不离」,也可以说: * They are two peas in a pod. (他们像豆荚里的两粒豆子--即形影不离)。 * They only have eyes for each other(and forget the entire world.)(世界上似乎只有他们两个人。) |
