Smize 眼睛也微笑

Skinny Fat 渾身肥肉的瘦子
Meaning: If someone has a skinny look but is all flabby underneath, you can call him a skinny fat. When you touch skinny fat, your touching hand sinks into fat before reaching muscle.
現在的愛美女士都瘋狂地追求瘦身,其實瘦未必等于身材好,有些人瘦成竹竿,但渾身的肉都軟趴趴的,還有小肚腩,這就是skinny fat。如果一個人看起來瘦瘦的,但渾身的肉卻軟趴趴的,你可以稱他為“渾身肥肉的瘦子”。如果你碰到一個渾身肥肉的瘦子,你的手碰觸到的將是肥肉而不是肌肉。渾身肥肉的瘦子肥肉多肌肉少。他們通常進食的卡路里數少,所以看起來骨瘦如柴,但因為沒有參加體育運動或鍛煉,所以沒什么肌肉。
A: That girl is hot!
B: Dude, what are you talking about, that girl is skinny fat!
甲:那個女孩好辣!
乙:老兄,你沒看錯吧,那個女孩是個渾身肥肉的瘦子!

形容一個人很養眼,我們可以稱之為eye candy,不過帥哥美女畢竟是少數,今天我們就來學學eye candy(外表悅目的人)的反義詞——eye broccoli。Eye broccoli指的是長得不好看的人。
He’s certainly eye broccoli, but at least he’s warm-hearted.
他當然長得其貌不揚,但至少他有一副好心腸。
Beer Goggles 啤酒眼
Meaning: Beer goggles are fictitious eyeglasses which purportedly cause an inebriated wearer to see members of the opposite sex as more romantically attainable or physically attractive than they actually are.
人們常說“酒后吐真言”,說的是有人酒喝多了之后會在無意識的狀態下把壓抑在心底的話說出來。可是,有一種情況,酒后說的可不一定是真言了。人喝多了以后,常常是看誰都美,看誰都那么有魅力,那就是“啤酒眼”效應了。“啤酒眼”其實是一種像戴了眼鏡一樣的視覺幻想,據說可以讓醉酒的人對原本不太有吸引力的異性產生好感,覺得他們比平時更有魅力。
When a person becomes drunk enough to find physically unattractive people beautiful, he is said to be wearing beer goggles.
一個人酒喝多后覺得原本相貌平平的人也很漂亮,我們就說他戴了“啤酒眼”。
