- 1低胸(領口開得很低;不是裙子短)
A low-cut dress or top is made so the opening at the neck sits far down. You see the neck, and often the top of a woman’s chest. It is about the neck, not about how short the skirt is. People say it of clothes, not of people: a low-cut dress, a low-cut . How low counts as “low” changes with the time, the place, and who is looking — what one room calls normal, another calls too much. In a shop it is a plain describing word. Said with a look, it can sound like a comment on the person wearing it.
low-cut 是形容洋裝或上衣的字,指領口開得很低,重點在領口的位置,不在裙子有多短。它通常用來說衣服,像「a low-cut dress」或「a low-cut blouse」,很少拿來形容人。至於多低才算低,要看時間、地點,還有周圍的人怎麼看。
在店裡它只是平常的描述詞;如果說的時候帶著打量的眼神,聽起來就會像是在評論穿衣服的人。
組成low(低)+ cut(衣服剪裁、開口的形狀)
同家族的字
- cutthe same “cut” that means the shape of a dress or the opening at the neck
