在中文里我们有太多太多的成语来形容美女, 如沉鱼落雁, 倾国倾城, 闭月羞花等等. (你能想像如何教一个不懂中文的老外这些成语吗? ) 英语中用来形容女孩子的字眼也不少, 但跟中文比起来就真的是小巫见大巫了, 不过还是有些用来形容女人的说法值得学一学.
1. Hey, look at the chick over there.
看看在那边的女孩.
Chick 这个字代表的就是女孩子, 各位不要跟 chic (时尚) 这个字给搞混了. Chick 这个字念起来就像是 chicken 前面的几个音, 所以蛮好认的. 一般而言 chick 和 girl 是可以交互使用的, 例如, 她是个十三岁的女孩, 就是 She is a thirteen-year-old chick.

燕子去了，有再来的时候；杨柳枯了，有再青的时候；桃花谢了，有再开的时候。但是，聪明的，你告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢？——是有人偷了他们罢：那是谁？又藏在何处呢？是他们自己逃走了：现在又到了哪里呢？
Swallows may have gone, but there is a time of return; willow trees may have died back, but there is a time of regreening; peach blossoms may have fallen, but they will bloom again. Now, you the wise, tell me, why should our days leave us, never to return? If they had been stolen by someone, who could it be? Where could he hide them? If they had made the escape themselves, then where could they stay at the moment?
