    Beaut is a short, informal word from beauty. You use it when something is very good, attractive, or impressive — a car, a goal, a view, even a black eye, depending on the joke.

    Beaut(這個字) is a short, informal word from beauty是beauty縮短來的口語字。You use it when something is very good, attractive, or impressive當某樣東西很棒、很吸引人或很厲害時你會用它——a car, a goal, a view, even a black eye像是一台車、一記進球、一片風景,甚至是一個黑眼圈,depending on the joke就看是在開什麼玩笑。

    As a noun, a beaut is a beauty: a , or a fine example of its kind. As a reaction, especially in Australian and New Zealand English, You beaut! means “That’s great!” It can be warm, or a bit ; it can even be sarcastic (“a beaut of a mess”).
