口語(yǔ)：時(shí)尚達(dá)人VS.時(shí)尚犧牲品！

　　時(shí)尚潮流風(fēng)云變幻，我們是做dressed to kill 迷死人的時(shí)尚達(dá)人，還是淪為fashion victim，掌握f(shuō)ashion的度是第一要義。

　　dressed to kill

　　Dressed to kill 的意思當(dāng)然不是穿上蒙面的緊身衣去干殺人的勾當(dāng); dressed to kill用來(lái)dressed extremely well; wearing fashionable clothing 穿著出眾，打扮時(shí)尚。

　　這個(gè)俚語(yǔ)是從何而來(lái)的呢?The idea is that your appearance could be so strong and powerful that you would kill (dominate, defeat, knock over) anyone who sees you. 漂亮的打扮迷死眾生，讓人甘拜在你的石榴裙下。

　　一般來(lái)說(shuō)，女孩子dressed exceptionally well都是為了應(yīng)對(duì)比較特殊的場(chǎng)合for a special event of one kind or another。比如說(shuō)約會(huì)或者參加舞會(huì)。請(qǐng)看下面的兩個(gè)例句：

　　例句：Tina was dressed to kill for her date on Saturday night.

　　周六的晚上，蒂娜打扮得漂漂亮亮地去赴約。

　　例句：It took Mary two hours to get ready, but it was worth it--she was dressed to kill and the center of attention. Everyone was saying she was the most beautiful woman at the prom.

　　Mary為參加畢業(yè)舞會(huì)花了兩個(gè)鐘頭打扮。然而工夫不負(fù)有心人，她穿戴得美麗動(dòng)人，成為受人矚目的焦點(diǎn)。誰(shuí)都說(shuō)她是畢業(yè)舞會(huì)上最漂亮的小姐。

　　fashion victim

　　A fashion victim is someone who always wears the most fashionable clothes, or follows the latest fads. 這些人總是追隨最新時(shí)尚潮流，但怎么就成了victim受害者呢?

　　Because they wear things which dont suit them, or look ridiculous, just because they are in fashion. A fashion victim might wear something very unflattering. 說(shuō)她們是時(shí)尚的犧牲品，因?yàn)檫@些人為了時(shí)尚而時(shí)尚，她們穿著不適合自己的衣服，突顯了自己的缺點(diǎn)。

　　意大利時(shí)尚品牌Versace的創(chuàng)始人說(shuō)，When a woman alters her look too much from season to season, she becomes a fashion victim.

　　例句：

　　A: Look at Lucy. Doesnt she look ridiculous in that dress? It doesnt suit her at all.

　　B: Yeah shes only wearing it because she saw it in a magazine. Shes such a fashion victim.

　　Fashion victims commonly cross the line from the sublime to the ridiculous. 如果對(duì)時(shí)尚理解不透，就容易由新潮的著裝淪為可笑的裝束，最終被人譏諷為時(shí)尚的犧牲者。
