“黑眼圈”用英语怎么说?





·1. dark circles under your eyes·
dark /dɑːk/ 形容词,表示quite close to black in colour,深色的,接近黑色的,circle /'sɜː(r)kl/ 名词,“圆圈”。
dark circles under one's eyes,固定短语,表示dark areas under your eyes that you have when you are very tired,因为睡眠不足很累等原因出现的黑眼圈。
虽然circle是“圆圈”但是一般还是说under your eyes,around your eyes用得少,也比较少说black circles。

例:Are you okay? You've got really bad dark circles under your eyes.
你还好吗?你的黑眼圈很严重。
·2. 眼周淤青:black eye & shiner·
black eye 固定短语,表示if you have a black eye, you have a dark area around your eye because you have been hit,挨揍了或者撞到眼睛之后眼周有淤青 (bruise /bruːz/) ,如果两只眼睛都有淤青可以用复数black eyes。
常用搭配:
A gets a black eye (from B)
B gives A a black eye
例:Did you see Tom? He's got a nasty black eye. How did he get it?
你看到汤姆了吗?他眼睛那里好大一块淤青,怎么弄的?
例:He got into a fight at school and came home with a black eye and a swollen lip.
他在学校打架了,回家时眼睛淤青,嘴唇肿了。
还有一个俚语叫shiner /'ʃaɪnə(r)/,是black eye的同义词。
shine /ʃaɪn/ 动词,表示to produce or reflect light,发光,反光,闪闪发亮,shiner是名词形式。为什么black eye也叫shiner,有种解释是说淤青肿胀的那块皮肤比正常皮肤更光滑紧绷,更容易反光。
shiner用于非正式口语,是一个幽默、带有调侃语气的表达。
A: Nice shiner. How did that happen?
你眼睛这淤青挺好看的。怎么搞的?
B: Got it from my ex.
被前任打了。
·3. 黑眼睛:dark/brown eyes·
中文形容我们眼睛的颜色常说“黑眼睛”,英语可以说dark eyes,brown eyes, 或者dark brown eyes,比较少说black eyes,因为black eye(s) 通常指眼周淤青,而且真正纯黑的眼睛很罕见。
例:The baby looked at me with her curious, dark eyes.
小宝宝用她好奇的黑眼睛看着我。
例:He's got his dad's dark eyes and his mom's curly hair.
他遗传了爸爸的黑眼睛和妈妈的卷发。
