三八节当下更多称作“女神节”为什么只能放半天假?至!少!放!一!整!天!同意的小伙伴请举手?

　　在这个美丽的节日里，不要忘记学习英文哦！

　　尤其下面这些对女同胞的赞美之词

　　1. 天姿国色：one can use heavenly beauty (e.g, She is a heavenly beauty/ she is heavenly/She is heavenly beautiful), angelic, unearthly (e.g. unearthly beautiful), and goddess (as in “She is a goddess.”)

　　例如：Her beauty is unequaled/unmatchable/unique in all the land.

　　注意：把天姿国色译成 “ surpassing beauty.”或“ Reigning beauty” 是错的。

　　2. 沉鱼落雁：Drop-dead gorgeous. Drop-dead means extremely. (=You can die on the spot due to the shock of seeing such stunning beauty.) A face one could die for, stunning/Stunningly beautiful.

　　注意：“ She could charm the birds from the trees” 的意思并不是她有沉鱼落雁之容，而是她能用甜蜜的嗓音、话语劝说小鸟从树上落下，或者她有魔法让小鸟从树上落下的意思。

　　“…beauty to shut out the moon …make fish sink and geese settle…” are good translations, but not what we are looking for here.

　　3. 倾国倾城："The face that launched a thousand ships" is a reference to Helen of Troy in Homer’s Iliad. 荷马史诗中的 特洛伊的海伦.In the Epic, Helen is the femme-fatale that caused the fall of Troy. (femme-fatale 致命的女人 or 红颜祸水. )

　　例如： She has a face that could launch a thousand ships.

　　4. 秀色可餐：可用 “she is a dish”, although that is considered rather vulgar.

　　其他说法：delectable, luscious, mouth-watering,

　　5. 养眼：a feast for the eyes/ a sight for sore eyes

　　6. 出水芙蓉： Venus rising from the sea.(also known as: Venus on a half shell)
