黑头发是black hair,但黑眼睛却不是black eyes,大家在中英表达的切换中一定要注意这些小(xiǎo)陷阱。
在英文(wén)中,dark eyes表示“黑眼睛,深色的眼珠”,而black eye表示的是“挨打之后的青眼圈”,即:
A bruise near one’s eye
(被殴打所致的)乌青的眼眶
例句:
Fred came home with a horrible black eye today, but he won’t tell us what happened!
弗雷德青着眼睛回家,却怎么也不告诉我们到底发生了什么!
除此之外,还有(yǒu)许多(duō)与黑色相关的英文(wén)表达容易被误解,千万不要踩坑哦~
