實(shí)戰(zhàn)口語(yǔ)情景對(duì)話：Metrosexual 都市美男

Daniel: Well we're talking about men and being macho and stuff like that but recently there's the whole thing about being metrosexual, right? What do you think about that?

丹尼爾：我們談了與男性和男子氣概有關(guān)的話題，最近大家都在說(shuō)都市美男。你怎么看?

Vella: I have no problem with, you know, metrosexual because I think, you know, everyone has the right to look good and to take care of themselves even for men.

維拉：都市美男，我覺得還好，我認(rèn)為所有人都有打扮和打理自己的權(quán)力，對(duì)男性來(lái)說(shuō)一樣。

Daniel: Uh, uh.

丹尼爾：哦。

Vella: For example, David Beckham, he's one example of metrosexual guys and I think he looks amazing with the underwear he dresses. Yeah, I have no problem.

維拉：比如大衛(wèi)·貝克漢姆，他就是都市美男的代表人物，我認(rèn)為他穿內(nèi)衣的樣子看上去太迷人了。所以我覺得還好。

Daniel: Yeah, yeah but like one thing it's about how you dress and, because metrosexual people they don't, I mean they do care of a lot of other things not only clothes, right? They take care of their hair, I don't know, their faces. I don't know, so many things they do that not a lot of people do especially men. You know, they take care of their nails, their hands and for some people that might be a bit weird. What do you think as a woman? Do you like it, you don't? It's too much? What is it?

丹尼爾：嗯，不過這只是穿著方面，都市美男會(huì)留意很多方面，不只是穿著，對(duì)吧?他們?cè)诎l(fā)型上也會(huì)花心思，還有他們的面容。我也不清楚，不過他們會(huì)做很多一般男性不會(huì)關(guān)注的事情。他們會(huì)去美甲、護(hù)手，有些人可能認(rèn)為這很奇怪。你作為女性怎么看?你喜歡還是不喜歡?你認(rèn)為這樣是不是太過了?你是怎么看的?

Vella: I'm OK with that, just not too much though.

維拉：我覺得還好，只要不要太過。

Daniel: OK.

丹尼爾：好。

Vella: Like for example, I mean guys in rock bands they usually wear makeup, like eyeliner, and I'm actually really into that.

維拉：比如，搖滾樂隊(duì)里的男性會(huì)化妝，化眼線，我非常喜歡這種。

Daniel: OK.

丹尼爾：好。

Vella: And I don't know if you know this guy called Adam Lambert, he was the winner of American Idol last season.

維拉：我不知道你知不知道亞當(dāng)·蘭伯特，他是上一季《美國(guó)偶像》的冠軍。

Daniel: Oh, yeah.

丹尼爾：哦，知道。

Vella: And he wears a lot of, you know, eyeliner and yeah I think it's pretty cool.

維拉：他會(huì)化很重的眼線，我認(rèn)為那非常酷。

Daniel: But I don't know, as a girl for example, because OK usually makeup and stuff like that are more related to girls, right? So what if your boyfriend is a metrosexual and he knows or he has more makeup than you have, how does that make you feel?

丹尼爾：可是我……女孩化妝很正常，因?yàn)檫@種就是女孩會(huì)做的事情，對(duì)吧?如果你男友是都市美男，在化妝方面他比你知道的還多或者他用的化妝品比你還多，那你有什么感覺?

Vella: Well I wouldn't, you know, choose a metrosexual guy to be my boyfriend but, you know, I think it's OK for guys to wear makeup just not too much.

維拉：嗯，我不會(huì)選都市美男當(dāng)我男友的，不過我可以接受男性化妝，只要不要太過就好。

Daniel: Uh, uh.

丹尼爾：哦。

Vella: I mean only eyeliner I think is fine but if he starts wearing blusher or lipstick, you know, there's something wrong with them.

維拉：我覺得只化眼線還好，但是如果他開始涂腮紅或唇彩，那就不合適了。

Daniel: OK. So how about all the other things they do that they take care a lot of their bodies? How about that?

丹尼爾：好。那你怎么看他們對(duì)身體其他部位的護(hù)理?你有什么看法?

Vella: I think it's totally fine, you know, taking care of yourself. I think it shows that you really care about, you know, how you look.

維拉：我覺得護(hù)理自己完全沒問題。我認(rèn)為這表明你非常在意自己的樣子。

Daniel: I had a discussion with a female friend before and she totally agreed that boys should take care of themselves like a bit more because I mean, yeah, the whole macho thing I think it's appealling but at the same time I don't think, I don't think it's fair that like boys expect girls to take care of themselves and to be pretty, to look pretty, I don't know makeup, the hair, the nails, but boys sometimes, I mean I don't think girls want to go out with a monkey, you know. It's like, you have to take care of themselves, of yourself, it's not fair that girls have to put all the effort and boys, you know, just don't do anything. So I agree with the thing that, I mean it's all right, we have to take care of ourselves and we have to try to look better but I'm not used to the whole makeup and stuff so personally I don't do it and I don't think I will be comfortable doing it. So I don't know.

丹尼爾：我之前和一個(gè)女性朋友討論過這個(gè)話題，她完全贊同男性應(yīng)該護(hù)理自己這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)，我認(rèn)為男子氣概非常吸引人，但同時(shí)我認(rèn)為這不公平，因?yàn)槟泻⑾Ｍ⒆o(hù)理自己，讓自己看起來(lái)很漂亮 ，比如化妝、美發(fā)、美甲，但是男孩有時(shí)候……我想女孩也不希望和一個(gè)“猴子”約會(huì)。你也要打理自己，女孩必須付出所有努力而男孩什么也不做，這不公平。我同意你的觀點(diǎn)，那的確還好，我們必須要打理自己，我們要讓自己看上去更好，但是我不太習(xí)慣化妝，所以就我個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，我不會(huì)這么做，我想這樣我也會(huì)不舒服。所以我也不清楚。

Vella: Absolutely, I agree.

維拉：我完全同意你的觀點(diǎn)。
