下面是小編整理的一些關(guān)于描述外表的實(shí)用英語單詞， 希望對(duì)大家有幫助。

　　In this lesson you’re going to expand your vocabulary with 37 words to describe a person’s appearance.

　　在這一課里，你將學(xué)會(huì)35個(gè)用來描述人的外表的英語單詞，以后媽媽再也不用擔(dān)心我們“評(píng)頭論足”的時(shí)候詞窮啦!

　　Let’s begin with the word beautiful – in English, this word is mostly used for women. We use the word handsome for men. To describe beautiful women, we also have the words pretty, lovely, gorgeous, and stunning – “stunning” means extremely beautiful, like a woman who is so beautiful that she attracts a lot of attention!

　　我們就從基礎(chǔ)款beautiful開始吧——在英語中，這個(gè)詞大多數(shù)時(shí)候是用于描述女性的。對(duì)于帥鍋呢，我們一般會(huì)用handsome。一些用來說“美女”的進(jìn)階單詞還包括：pretty，lovely，gorgeous和stunning——“stunning”的意思是女性極為漂亮，各種吸引注意力。

　　Another expression to describe a woman like this is to say that “She turns heads” –implying that when she walks down the street, people turn their heads to focus their attention on her.

　　還有一個(gè)用來說女生炒雞炒雞美的慣用語是“She turns heads”——意思是當(dāng)這個(gè)女生走在大街上的時(shí)候，大家都會(huì)回過頭來定睛凝視(也就是我們說的“回頭率高”嘛)!

　　The words attractive, good-looking, cute, and hot can be used for both men and women. Cute is a more playful word to say a person is attractive; we often use “cute” for children and baby animals. And the word hot is a slang word that you should only use during informal conversations among friends.

　　對(duì)于兩性均適用的單詞則有：attractive, good-looking, cute 和hot。Cute是表達(dá)女性有吸引力的一種更調(diào)皮的說法;因?yàn)?ldquo;cute”經(jīng)常用來描述可愛的小孩或者小動(dòng)物。Hot則是個(gè)俚語單詞，朋友聊天之外的場(chǎng)合你可別亂用。

　　The opposite of beautiful or handsome is ugly –but that’s a strong word, so most people express this idea using the negative form of one of the positive words, for example: “She’s not very attractive”or “He’s not so good-looking.”

　　美麗和帥氣的反義詞當(dāng)然是ugly丑陋啦——但是這可是一個(gè)感情色彩很強(qiáng)烈的單詞，所以大多數(shù)人一般會(huì)用以上褒義詞的否定說法來表達(dá)“丑”，比如說：“She’s not very attractive”或者“He’s not so good-looking”。

　　Finally, there is the word plain –that describes a person who is ordinary-looking –not especially beautiful/handsome, but not especially ugly either.

　　最后還有一個(gè)單詞plain——這個(gè)是用來表達(dá)一個(gè)人相貌平平的，沒有特別好看也沒有特別丑。

　　ENGLISH WORDS FOR “FAT”

　　“FAT”的多款表達(dá)法

　　Okay, now let’s learn some words to describe body shape and size. You already know the basic words fat and thin –but there are many other ways to say these.

　　好，那我們現(xiàn)在就來學(xué)習(xí)一些用來描述身材的單詞。你們肯定已經(jīng)知道了諸如fat, thin的入門級(jí)詞匯——不過還有很多種描述胖、瘦的表達(dá)。

　　A person who is fat can also be described as overweight, heavy, big, or large. The word for a person who is EXTREMELY fat is obese.

　　胖還可以用overweight，heavy，big和large來表達(dá)。用來說一個(gè)人胖到極點(diǎn)的詞是obese。

　　We also have the word chubby to describe fat children; husky or heavyset to describe fat men; and plump or curvy to describe fat women (the word curvy has a more positive connotation, implying that the woman has a nice, full, feminine body).

　　用來說小朋友比較胖的詞可以是chubby;肥胖的男性可以說成husky和heavyset;豐滿的女性則用plump和curvy來表達(dá)(curvy的含義更積極，意指女性的身材很好很飽滿，很有女人味)。

　　If you want to say a specific part of the body is fat, you can say it is flabby –for example, “I hate my flabby stomach.”(typically used for arms, stomach, thighs, and butt).

　　如果你想說身體的某一個(gè)特定部位比較胖，你可以用flabby——比如，你可以說“我太討厭我肉肉的肚子啦!”(這個(gè)詞一般可以用于胳膊、肚腩、大腿、臀部等部位)。

　　ENGLISH WORDS FOR “THIN”

　　用來表達(dá)“THIN”的各種單詞

　　The opposite of fat is thin. Some alternative words are slim, slender, skinny, lean, wiry, petite, and lanky. In general, thin, slim, and slender are more positive, whereas skinny is often used as a criticism or negative point.

　　胖的反義詞就是thin(瘦)啦。其他的一些表達(dá)包括slim, slender, skinny, lean, wiry, petite和lanky。一般說來，thin，slim和slender是更具褒義的，skinny則是有一點(diǎn)批評(píng)的意味或者貶低的含義。

　　The words lean and wiry mean that the person is thin AND muscular. The word petite is only used for women, and means that the woman is short AND thin. Finally, the word lanky means tall and thin.

　　Lean和wiry意味著一個(gè)人不僅很苗條而且有肌肉。Petite則是用來描述瘦小的女性的。最后，又高又瘦的女性則用lanky來表達(dá)。

　　ENGLISH WORDS FOR “MUSCULAR”

　　“有肌肉”的英文表達(dá)法

　　What about a person with an athletic body?

　　那運(yùn)動(dòng)員般的身材怎么形容呢?

　　You can describe him or her as muscular, fit, strong, in good shape, or “ripped” –that’s a slang word meaning that the person has very well-defined and visible muscles –like the guy in this photo.

　　你可以用muscular，fit，strong，in good shape來說，或者用“ripped”——這是俚語，意思是一個(gè)人的身材特別有型，肌肉線條明顯——就像這張照片里的男人。
