- 1輪廓分明的、雕塑般的(講臉或身材時,不是「被刻過」)
If something is sculpted, it has a clear, smooth shape, as if an artist made it on purpose. People say this about faces (sculpted ), bodies (sculpted muscles), and sometimes about land or buildings that look carefully shaped. It comes from the verb , but in this use it is not telling you that someone just finished . It is describing how the thing looks — neat lines, nothing . Though actually, the same spelling is also the ordinary past tense: “She sculpted a bird from clay.” In “sculpted arms,” nobody is talking about an art studio. The word feels a little . You meet it in fashion, fitness, and beauty writing more than in children's talk.
From the word’s history
From sculpt, from French sculpter, from Latin sculpō 'to carve in stone'.
sculpt 的過去分詞;源自拉丁文 sculpō「在石上雕刻」。
