冷空气一轮又一轮
寒意直入骨髓
唯有羽绒服上身才能抵御这无孔不入的寒气
过冬法宝“羽绒服”英文要怎么说?
01“羽绒服”英文怎么说?
羽绒服英语可以说:down coat 或 down jacket
可能你有疑问:down不是表示“向下”吗?怎么就是羽绒服了?
其实down做名词时可以表示“羽绒”
来看看老外的专业解释:“A down coat is an insulated winter coat that is filled with fine feathers from a duck or goose. “羽绒服”是一种隔绝寒冷的冬衣,里面填充了羽绒(fine feathers)。
This fiber is called down- it is the soft, insulating under feathers from various waterfowl. “这种纤维被称为“down”,这是一种来自于各种水禽羽毛下方的绒毛。”
例:You'd better wear a down coat on such a freezing day.这么冷的天,你最好穿件羽绒服。
02“dress down”是什么意思?
dress做动词,多数用于表达"穿衣打扮"
dress down = 穿着随意;穿着低调
例:He dresses down in baggy clothes to avoid big fans.
他随便穿了件宽松的衣服以免被粉丝认出。
dressing-down 还有责骂,斥责的意思
例:She gave me a dressing-down for being late. 她斥责我去晚了。
与之相反想表达“穿正装;盛装打扮”可以用 dress up
例:You don't need to dress up to go to the mall, jeans and a T-shirt are fine.
去购物不必穿正装,牛仔裤加短袖衫就可以了。
如果要表达“着装要求”可以说dress code
例:Is there some kind of dress code for the dinner? 宴会有什么着装要求吗?
03“down-at-heel”是什么意思?
down-at-heel = 衣衫破旧的;潦倒的;破落的
也可以写成down-at-the-heel
例:She had a decidedly down-at-heel appearance. 她外表看起来实在很寒酸。
He worked in a down-at-heel café. 他在一家破破烂烂的咖啡店工作。
