「沉魚落雁」「傾國傾城」如何用英文描述你心中的女神?
大家都會用beautiful或者pretty來形容美女,當然對於那種看一眼就勾魂攝魄的絕世美女我們還可以用gorgeous來形容。但是如何具體描述那些「沉魚落雁」「傾國傾城」的女神們的外貌和氣質呢?我們就來學習一下吧~~
01 天姿國色
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.」)
天姿國色,獨一無二, 無以倫比等可以用以下這些表達。
unique, one-of-a-kind, unsurpassing / unsurpassable; has no equal, unequaled, incomparable, unmatched / unmatchable, second to none, 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。
02 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」
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.
03 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.
04 閉月羞花
obscure the moon and make flowers blush
05 出水芙蓉
Venus rising from the sea.(also known as: Venus on a half shell)
06 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…
1. 秀氣,高雅,有氣質:elegant, classy, refined, graceful, cultured, chic,majestic, exquisite, polished…
