   看脸的世界,碰上颜值不高的妹纸,小伙伴们私下里会咋说?


  如果你的字典里只有beautiful和ugly两个标准,那可真要当心啦!因为提起ugly,老外的真实感受是看一眼就糟心、颜值低爆表,基本都要为负了……“不好看”英文到底该咋说?
  1. Homely 1 Homely
  可以形容女性热情友好,特别居家。但这个词一旦用在长相上,就没那么友好了,它的意思是“不好看”、“没吸引力”。
  例:She has a homely face.(她长相一般。)
  2. Be no oil painting
  说人家不好看,英国人最爱拐弯抹角。Be no oil painting,是不是特别含蓄? 可它还真是用来八卦颜值哒!
  例:His new girlfriend is no oil painting. (他新交的女朋友真难看。)
  3. Plain-Jane Plain
  作形容词时有“简单、朴素”之意。而英语的世界里,Jane这个名字也很普通。两个词合在一起,用来形容妹纸“相貌平平”、“不起眼”。
  例:She's indeed a plain-Jane.(她长得真的很一般。)
  4. Average Average
  只能说颜值达到平均分了,average face可以理解为“大众脸”,average-looking意思是“长相一般”。
  例:She's an average-looking girl.(她是一个长相很普通的妹纸。)
  5. Not good-looking
  其实美也不一定非要拼颜值,长得不美,可以有气质、可以心灵美。所以,英文里的ugly还是免了吧!嘴上留情说人家“不漂亮”,还可以用not good-looking.
  例:She was not exactly good-looking, but definitely attractive.(她不算漂亮, 但确实很有魅力。)

adj.家常的,简朴的;不漂亮的
  • We had a homely meal of bread and cheese.我们吃了一顿面包加乳酪的家常便餐。
  • Come and have a homely meal with us,will you?来和我们一起吃顿家常便饭,好吗?
