Hi, everyone.

大家好。

In this lesson were going to look at trendy fashion words.

在这节课中，我们将学习些时髦的时尚词汇。

These are words that Im hearing used a lot now around our times, so lets have a look through the words and learn them one-by-one so we can sound really cool and fashionable.

我所知道的这些常用词在现今社会用得很广泛，所以，让我们来看一看这些单词吧，并逐一学习它们，让我们看起来非常时尚炫酷。

Lets start with: en pointe .

先来说的单词是：踮脚尖（法语）。

If something is en pointe, it means perfect, it looks so good.

如果某物是踮脚尖的，表示它很完美，看起来很不错。

What youre wearing today, that dress, your dress is en pointe.

你今天的穿着很完美。

Its so fashionable, its so, so hot right now.

特别时髦，这个词现在特别流行。

Very similar meaning to something being on-trend .

与流行的意思很接近。

If we think about the word trendy , it means fashionable.

如果我们想到时尚这个词，就表示很时髦。

But to say something is trendy isnt fashionable enough anymore, we have to change it and say: on-trend .

但描述某物很时尚还够不上时髦，我们必须要用另一个词来表达：潮。

We could also change it and say: bang-on-trend .

我们还能换一种说法：赶时髦。

If its bang-on-trend, its even more now, happening right this minute.

如果想说某件事很赶时髦，更能表达就在此刻，当前所发生的。

Next, if were talking about makeup. . .

下一个，如果我们在探讨化妆时……

When I was younger we used to talk about wearing lipstick or wearing red lipstick, or a pink lipstick, but now instead of saying the word lipstick , its described as: Im wearing a red lip today.

我年轻的时候，我们总是在聊涂口红的事，涂红色的还是粉色的，但现在不用涂口红这个词了，现在说成：我今天擦的红色口红。

And the same thing, instead of saying: eye shadow , Oh, I bought this eye shadow. Its blue. Look at it on my eyes , you dont say that because it doesnt. . . doesnt sound. . . doesnt sound fashionable enough, it doesnt sound like you know about makeup.

类似的，不说眼影了，噢，我买过这款眼影。是蓝色的。往我眼睛上看，你不能这么说了，因为听起来不够时尚了，听起来感觉你不像会化妆的。

So, what people who know about makeup say is they say: Oh, today Im wearing a smokey eye.

所以，懂化妆的人会说：噢，今天我擦的眼影。

Im not wearing a smokey eye, I havent got anything on, but a smokey eye is when the eye shadow looks grey or dark, and its most often worn at night when youre going out.

我没擦眼影，我什么都没擦，但眼影是指颜色看起来很灰暗的，最常用的场合是在晚上出门时擦的。

You get your eye shadow these days in palettes .

你这些天的眼影都在眼影盘里呢。

And instead of wearing just one eye shadow, like wearing a pink eye shadow, the eye shadow palette comes with about. . . well, as many as you want I suppose, but from 4 to 12 eye shadows, and what they do is they put on the different eye shadows from the palette.

不说成只在一只眼上涂眼影，比如涂了一个粉色眼影，眼影盘上……有很多你想要的，但从4号到12号，他们要做的就是从眼影盘中挑选出不同的眼影。

So, they will talk about creating the smokey eye from palette number three, or whatever.

所以他们会来探讨从3号或其它眼影盘中选择眼影进行化妆。

Next is a makeup term thats been around for a few years.

接下来的一个是已经存在了好几年的化妆术语。

This makeup term came from when the Kardashians got famous, because the kind of makeup Kim Kardashian would use was a kind of makeup, that shades her face to give it a certain. . . to make it look like theres more shadow on the face and a more dramatic kind of foundation, which is done with different brushes.

这个化妆词汇是Kardashians家族出名的时候产生的，是因为Kim Kardashian使用的一种化妆品，这种化妆品给她的脸蒙上了一层暗影，看上去像是有更多的阴影和更富有戏剧性的粉底，是用多种不同的刷子涂抹上去的。

Its a kind of makeup technique called contouring .

这种化妆技术叫做轮廓。

Apparently it comes. . . apparently its a makeup technique thats been around for ages,?but before, drag queens used to use it,?men who. . . men who were still men, but dressed up as women mostly for performance and being in shows and things like that.

很明显它已成为一种化妆技术，被沿用多年，但在以前是变装皇后用的，就是男士为了表演打扮成女人，参加登台表演之类的活动。

So it originally comes from there.

最初是从那里用到的。

And I did experiment with contouring.

我也曾做过轮廓试验。

I once watched a few too many YouTube videos, and it all went terribly wrong, so moving on from contouring.

我曾看过很多的YouTube视频，结果都很糟糕，都是因为轮廓。

Next we have drugstore makeup .

下一个词是化妆品店。

In England we dont have drugstores, we have pharmacies where you go and buy your medicine, and you can buy toiletries, but we dont have drugstores.

在英格兰没有化妆品店，有可以买到药品的药店，也能买到洗漱用品，但没有化妆品店。

We have chains of drugstores, for example, Boots or Superdrug, and you can go in there and buy makeup, but we never call those places drugstores.

我们有化妆品连锁店，如Boots或Superdrug，你能在那买到化妆品，但我们从来不管它叫做化妆品店。

Yet, when people talk about makeup now, the younger generation, they will. . . they will talk about buying drugstore makeup, which means the kind of makeup that only. . . only costs you a few pounds to buy, its not the really, really expensive makeup, and you can. . . you can buy it easily, close. . . close. . . close where you live.

当现在的年轻人在谈论化妆话题时，他们都会说去买化妆品店的化妆品，这表示你只需要几块钱就能买到的某种化妆品，不是很贵很贵的那种，很容易就能买到，生活随处可见。

So, drugstore makeup is the kind of makeup you can do that doesnt cost you so much money as the really expensive brands.

所以化妆品店的化妆品就是不像品牌店卖的那种很贵很贵的化妆品。

So thats an American term, but its being used a lot here now in England.

这是一个美式词汇，现在在英国也被广为所用。

The next. . . the next two terms are about hair.

下面的两个词汇是关于头发的。

These are newer fashionable techniques for dying your hair, and the two words come from French.

这是两个词汇，关于更新潮的染头发技术的，这两个术语源自法国。

In the English pronunciation wed say: balayage .

英语发音中说成：balayage（扫除）。

If your hair is balayaged, or the adjective, if your hair is balayaged, then it means in the salon it cost. . . it took you many hours and it cost you a lot of money for the hairdresser or the colourist to paint on highlights on to your hair very gently, very slowly, and it comes out in the end looking like a natural sun-kissed kind of hair, like youve just come back from holiday and youve been in the sun for a few weeks.

如果你的头发被扫除了，就表示在沙龙店里花上好几个小时，花好多钱来让理发师或染发师在你的头发上轻轻地、缓慢地涂上漂亮的涂层，最后，它看起来就像一种天然的被太阳亲吻后的头发，就像你刚度假回来，已经在阳光下晒了几个星期一样。

So thats a trendy thing that people are doing now.

这就是人们现在正在做的一件非常时髦的事情。

And the next hair term is: ombre .

下一个头发术语是：ombre（深浅条纹的）。

When your hair has been dyed in the style of ombre, it means that your hair fades from one colour to another.

当你的头发被染成深浅不一的风格时，就表示你的头发从一个颜色褪色到另一种颜色。

So, it could be that youre blonde on the top and your hair fades to brown at the bottom, or it could be the other way around.

可能是指你的金发在顶部，底部褪色成棕色，也可能是相反的方式。

So, its light to dark or dark to light for that kind of hair technique.

这种技术就是从亮到暗或从暗到亮。

Now we have a lookbook .

我们还有一个词，lookbook（搭配）。

A lookbook is something that a YouTuber or a fashion. . . a fashion blogger would put together to show their audience of all the different outfits theyre wearing Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, or theyd put the lookbook together to show all the outfits that they like to wear for spring.

搭配是YouTube或时尚博主把从周一到周五穿的各种不同的服装放在一起，向观众展示，他们会把各种搭配放在一起，展示在春天喜欢穿的衣服。

It could be any theme, but instead of how. . . instead of how when you would buy a magazine, and. . . a fashion magazine and look through it, and there would be a theme of the outfits that comes from that magazine, and everything that the editors decided and did all themselves in a big team.

它可以是任何主题的，而你不用买报纸或者时尚杂志从中参考，而只需从该杂志中挑选出其中一个主题的服装，也可能来自编辑们的决定，把这些想法汇集在一起。

A lookbook is something that a person with an interest in fashion who has their own YouTube channel or blog puts together themselves.

搭配就是一个对时尚感兴趣的人拥有自己的YouTube频道或博客，他们会把这些东西放在一起。

So you can. . . you can watch their lookbook and get inspiration about what to wear from it.

这样你就可以看他们的相册并从中得到穿着、搭配的灵感。

Next, when somebody says: This is my go to lip. . . This is my go to lip balm , or: This is my go to mascara , that means that its their favourite one, the one they like to use the most or the one that they use most often.

下一个，当某个人说：这是我嘴唇上的……这是我的唇膏，或：这就是我的睫毛膏，这表示这款是他们最喜欢的，他们最喜欢使用的或他们最经常使用的。

So, its a fashion. . . fashion vlogger kind of word, a beauty vlogger kind of word, and instead of saying: This is my favourite mascara , theyll say: This my go to mascara .

所以，这就是一种时尚博主常用的词汇，一个美容博主的专用词汇，不说：这是我最喜欢的睫毛膏，而说成：这睫毛膏很搭我。

Next weve got: haul .

下一个词是：haul（美妆）。

A haul is when you go to a particular shop and you buy loads, and loads, and loads of stuff there.

美妆是指当你去了一个特殊的商店，在那里买了一大堆的东西。

It could be that you go to a particular drugstore, boots in the UK or Superdrug in the UK, and you buy lots and lots of makeup from the same place, thats then a haul.

你去了一家特殊的化妆品店，英国的boots或Superdrug，从一个地方买了好多好多的化妆品，那就是美妆。

Or it could be you go to a particular shop.

或者说你去了一家特殊的商店。

You went to TOPSHOP, which is a fashion chain here in the UK, and you bought so much stuff, it was a haul.

你去了英国流行的TOPSHOP连锁店，买了很多东西，这就是指美妆。

Next weve got dressed down .

接下来还有dressed down（穿着失败）。

When youre dressed down for something you didnt. . . you didnt wear your best outfit, your most expensive outfit, your most formal outfit.

穿着失败表示，你没有穿最好的衣服，最昂贵的衣服，最正式的衣服。

When youre dressed down it could be that you just went wearing jeans and a t-shirt and trainers.

当你穿着失败时，你可能只是穿着牛仔裤、T恤和运动鞋。

It doesnt mean that you. . . that you didnt make any effort, it just means that youre. . . today youre just wearing something relaxed.

这并不意味着你没有做任何努力，它只是意味着你今天只是穿着一身很轻便的衣服。

Youre not trying too hard.

你没有过分装扮自己。

So, for whatever youre doing, perhaps. . . perhaps you go to work, but on Fridays you dress down.

所以，不管你在做什么，也许是去上班，但在周五你却穿得很朴素。

You dont wear such formal clothes.

你没穿很正式的衣服。

Now, a more. . . a more common meaning for dress down is: to give someone a dressing down , and its important to know because it has a totally different meaning.

现在，穿着失败另一个更常见的意思是：给某人一次羞辱，知道这一点很重要，因为这个意思完全不同。

When you give someone a dressing down, its like youre telling them off for something.

当你给某人一次羞辱时，像是说你在责备他们。

It could be your boss dressing you down at work, telling you you didnt do something exactly right.

可能是你的老板在工作上责备你，告诉你做的事情并不完全正确。

But in terms of fashion and beauty, dress down is about what youre wearing and how much effort youre putting into it.

但用作时尚和美感时，穿着失败是指你穿的是什么，你在这上面投入了多少的精力。

And the last word here is: date night .

最后一个词是：约会之夜。

This also comes from the US.

这个词也是来自美国的。

Date night is when you go out with your boyfriend or your boyfriend. . .

约会之夜就是当你和男朋友一起出去时……

I dont think men use the term.

我不认为男士会用这个术语。

Date night is when you go out with your boyfriend and you go and do something together as a couple, you go out to eat, go to the cinema, whatever it is you do together.

约会之夜就是当你和男朋友一起出去做某件事，出去吃饭或看电影，或者其它一起做某事。

And when. . . when you go on a date night you wear special clothes or you try and look more sexy or more attractive than normal, so you could talk about your date night outfit.

当你赴约会之夜时，你要穿特殊的着装，打扮得更性感、更吸引人，这时你就要谈论到约会之夜的装束了。

What youre wearing on date night is the opposite kind of clothes to what you wear when youre dressed down.

你在约会之夜穿的衣服和你平时的装束完全不同。

When youre dressed down, you havent got anybody to impress, its not important, but on date night you want to look good.

当你随便穿搭时，不会吸引别人的眼球，也无所谓，但在约会之夜你想要看起来很棒。

And the last idea I want to talk about here is quite funny, its this idea that behind all the glamourous Instagrammers that always put pictures up of their really cool outfits and their en pointe shoes, behind every one of those glamourous, fashionable women, theres a boyfriend who has to take their picture, wherever they go.

我想在这里谈到的最后一个想法是非常有趣的，就是在所有迷人的Instagram用户背后，总是把他们真正酷炫的服装和他们最棒的鞋子照片晒出来，在每一个迷人、时尚的女人背后，都有一个男朋友不得不给她们拍照，不管她们去哪里。

If they go to a lovely, sunny beach, the boyfriend is there for hours taking hundreds of pictures until he gets the one that looks. . . looks en pointe and looks perfect.

如果他们去一个可爱的、阳光明媚的海滩，如果他们去一个可爱的、阳光明媚的海滩，男朋友会在那里花上几个小时拍摄数百张照片，直到他拍到一张看上去很不错、很完美的照片为止。

So, behind all these fashionable, glamourous women, always remember the boyfriends of Instagram .

所以，在所有这些时尚、迷人的女性背后，永远记住有一个Instagram男朋友。
