“花美男”怎么说？

　　Metrosexual Man

　　JESSICA在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是杨林要问的：花美男。

　　YL: JESSICA，你发现没有，现在有一种男人，皮肤比女人还好，比女人还爱打扮，穿得特时髦，都跟从偶像剧里走出来似的。我们叫他们花美男，flower-pretty-man! 呵呵，我瞎翻的，美语中不会也有类似的称呼吧?

　　JESSICA: Actually, there IS an English equivalence. Its metrosexual m-e-t-r-o-s-e-x-u-a-l, metrosexual.

　　YL: metro-- 大城市，加上 sexual-- 性别的。那 metrosexual 跟中文里说的花美男指的是一种人吗?

　　Jessica: Well, Metrosexual men live in big cities, know all the trendy places in town and pay great attention to their appearances.

　　YL: 没错! 花美男就是住在大城市里的时尚达人，特别注重外表和打扮!要这么说，花美男就是 metrosexual man!

　　JESSICA: I guess being a metrosexual man means youre doing your homework on the latest trends. You need to be up-to-date on the hottest fashion!

　　YL: up-to-date on the hottest fashion? fashion是时尚的意思，up-to-date是跟上潮流，所以，up-to-date on the hottest fashion 就是紧跟最新时尚吧?

　　JESSICA: Thats right! But Yanglin, I would say the real fashionable people are not those who follow the trends, but the trend setters!

　　YL: trend setters? t-r-e-n-d, trend 是趋势的意思，setter, s-e-t-t-e-r 是设定者，所以 trend setter 就是开创时尚的真正潮人!

　　JESSICA: 没错! Now lets see what youve learned today!

　　YL: 第一，注重打扮的花美男是metrosexual men ;

　　第二，紧跟流行时尚是be up-to-date on the hottest fashion ;

　　第三，领导时尚的潮人叫 trend setter !
