如何用英语形容美女
英语课
在中文里我们有很多形容美女的词汇或成语, 如天姿国色，沉鱼落雁, 倾国倾城, 闭月羞花等等… 英语中用来形容女孩子的字眼也不少, 但跟中文比起来就真的是小巫见大巫了。不知道那种语言里还有更多的语汇来形容美女。
1. 天姿国色：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.”)
Similar to 天姿国色 and 独一无二, 无以伦比, 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：把天姿国色译成 “ surpassing beauty.”或“ Reigning 1 beauty” 是错的。
2. 沉鱼落雁：Drop-dead gorgeous. Drop-dead means extremely. (=You can die on the spot due to the shock of seeing such stunning 2 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鱼落雁之容，而是她能用甜蜜的嗓音、话语劝说小鸟从树上落下，或者她有魔法让小鸟从树上落下的意思。
“…beauty to shut out the moon …make fish sink and geese settle…” are good translations, but not what we are looking for here.
3. 倾国倾城.："The face that launched a thousand ships" is a reference to Helen of Troy in Homer’s Iliad. 荷马史诗中的 特洛伊的海伦.In the Epic 3, Helen is the femme-fatale that caused the fall of Troy. (femme-fatale 致命的女人 or 红颜祸水. )
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.
其他说法：delectable 4, luscious 5, mouth-watering,
5. 养眼：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. 她很丰满 ：There are lots of English words for that!
例如：She is stacked/ well stacked. 这是俚语，在正式场合中最好避免使用。
其他说法：She has a great figure/an hourglass figure. She is curvaceous, well-built, well-proportioned, shapely, statuesque,…
8. 秀气，高雅，有气质：elegant, classy, refined, graceful 6, cultured, chic 7, majestic 8, exquisite 9, polished…
9. 性感 ：sexy, sensual, sensuous 10, seductive, hot, titillating 11, erotic, voluptuous 12
