L4 U2 描述他人

Module 1 描述某个您所认识的人

1. 描述人的外形

身形 / 面孔 / 头发 / 年龄
在描述人的身体时，我们通常会谈到身高和体重。需要注意的是，说人 fat 或者 overweight 往往被视为不礼貌的。不过在对人进行描述时，overweight 一词不礼貌的程度稍轻。
tall
medium height
short
overweight
fat
thin

描述身高和体重时，使用动词 be。
She is tall and thin.

在描述人的面孔时，我们通常会谈及眼睛的颜色和任何其他显著的容貌。描述容貌时，我们通常使用动词 have。
She has blue eyes.
He has big ears.
He has a nice smile.

当描述一个人的头发时，我们通常谈论长度，发型以及颜色。一个人秃顶我们就描述成 bald. 这里有一些有用的形容词：
long 长发
medium length 中长发
short 短发
curly 卷发
straight 直发
blond 金发
bald 秃顶

在描述人的头发时，我们通常使用动词 have。但是，如果某人是 bald，我们就会使用动词 be。
She has long, straight, brown hair. 她拥有一头棕色的长长的直发。
My father is bald. 我父亲是秃顶。

另一种描述人的方法是谈论年龄。
old
middle-aged
young
文化点：对有些人来说，年龄是一个非常敏感的话题。在熟悉他们之前，避免和他们谈论年龄。

They are middle-aged.
He has medium-length, curly hair.
He is short and overweight.

2. 形容词的顺序

形容词的排序
当您使用一个以上的形容词进行描述时，一般的规则是把它们按大小，年龄，然后颜色的顺序排列。
That is a fat, old, black dog.

请注意这些例子中的大小-年龄-颜色的顺序：
He has big, brown eyes.
Her hair is shorter and grayer than before.
He's a thin, middle-aged man.
That tall, young, blond man drives a truck.

3. 谈论他人

描述人物
What does (person) look like?是用来询问一个人的身材，形体，年龄或者整体的外貌。 使用动词 be 来描述整体的外貌。

A: What does he look like?
B: He is tall and middle-aged. He's very good-looking.

您也可以使用像What color are his eyes? 或 How tall is she? 这样的疑问句去询问一个人的身体特定部位的描述。 使用动词have 来指身体的部位。

A: What color are his eyes?
B: They're brown.

A: How tall is she?
B: She's very tall.

A: What do the children look like?
B: They have curly, red hair. Jasmine has big, brown eyes, and Jason has blue eyes.

这里有很多形容词来给您描述一个人的外貌。请注意动词 be与它们搭配时的用法。
He's not very good-looking.
She's beautiful!
He's very attractive.
He's handsome.

语言点 Good-looking 与 attractive 具有相同的含义。 Good-looking 与 attractive 可用于描述男性和女性。通常 Beautiful 用于描述女性，handsome 则一般用于描述男性。

What does she look like?
What color are her eyes?
She has big, brown eyes.
What does your new colleague look like?
He's tall and has brown hair.

He's too negative. > He should be more positive. 他太消极了。 > 他应该积极些。

A: I think that he does a really good job.
B: So do I.
A: I like them both.
B: So do I.

使用neither do I 来赞成 I don't think that 这样句式所表达的意见, 或其他否定意见。
A: I don't think she's lazy.
B: Neither do I.
请注意 that 可以省掉且句子的含义没有受到影响。

要征求别人的意见，您可以使用what do you think about 以及 do you think。
A: What do you think about Denise?
B: She's very efficient.

A: Do you think Paul is too disorganized?
B: No, not really.

语言注释：neither有两种发音方法。在下面的例子中，第一个在美国比较普遍的；第二种多见于英国。但它们可以互换使用。
A: I don't think he's disorganized.
