  天氣變熱了,身邊不少人換上了美美的夏裝,很是驚艷。今天我們就來學習一個誇讚別人打扮得漂亮的美國習慣用語:dressed to kill

 

  這個習慣用語的意思當然不是穿上蒙面的緊身衣去幹殺人的勾當;它是指“打扮得漂亮入時、奪人眼球”。

 

 

  人們說某人dressed to kill時,通常是指這人精心打扮以吸引異性的注意。例:

  Pete usually wears jeans and a T-shirt. But last night it was hard to recognize him -- he was dressed to killbecause he finally got a date with that blond he's admired for so long.

 

  皮特平時老穿牛仔褲和T恤,但是昨晚我簡直沒認出他來。他打扮得帥極了,因為他傾心已久的那位金髮美女終於同意跟他出去約會了。

  我們再看一個用到dressed to kill的例子,這個例子說的是個女孩,說話人的妹妹瑪麗為參加畢業舞會而精心打扮:

 

  It took Mary two hours to get ready, but it was worth it -- she was dressed to killand the center of attention. Everyone was saying she was the most beautiful woman at the prom.

 

  瑪麗為參加畢業舞會花了兩個鐘頭打扮。不過倒也挺值的,她穿戴得美麗動人,成為了舞會的焦點。大家都說她是畢業舞會上最漂亮的女孩。
