1. 1刮淨的、剃光的(最常出現在 clean-shaven:鬍子刮得很乾淨)

    When a face or head is shaven, the hair has been taken off with a razor, right down to the skin. We use this more for how someone looks afterwards than for the action itself: the everyday verb is still shave / shaved (I shaved this morning). Shaven sits on the person like a finished state. You will meet it most in the pair clean-shaven — a man with no beard or , the skin smooth. People also say a shaven head. It feels a little older and neater than shaved; in loose talk many people just say shaved for both the action and the look. Though actually, we do not usually say shaven about legs or underarms in casual talk — there shaved is the normal word. It is not rude, just a slightly careful, written-sounding adjective.

組成shave + the old past-participle ending -en (the same kind of ending as in broken or eaten). In modern English this form is used mainly as an adjective; the ordinary past is shaved.
