A clean-cut person一個 clean-cut 的人 looks neat看起來乾淨俐落:short tidy hair短而整齊的頭髮、a smooth or carefully trimmed face刮乾淨或修得仔細的臉、clothes that sit well合身妥貼的衣服。
The word does extra work, though. It also hints at character — the kind of young man (it is used of men far more than of women) who looks as if he follows the rules and would please a parent or a boss. News and films like it for soldiers, students, and people who “do not look the type.” Though actually, it only talks about the look.
though不過,The word這個字 does extra work還多做了一點事。It它 also hints at character也暗示了品行——the kind of young man那種年輕男子——it它 is used of men far more than of women用在男性身上遠多於女性——who looks as if看起來就像 he follows the rules會守規矩、and would please a parent or a boss會讓父母或主管滿意。News and films新聞和電影 like it喜歡用它 for soldiers來說軍人、students學生,and people who和那些 “do not look the type”「看起來不像那種人」的人。Though actually不過其實,it它 only talks about the look只講外表。
Clean-cut is the opposite of rough or , not a test of a good life. A tidy face can hide a messy one. The word feels a little American and a little old-fashioned; you still hear it, but it is not hip street talk.

組成From clean + cut. Apparently from the idea of being smoothly shaped, and so the opposite of “rough” or “coarse.”
