“美瞳”英语怎么说

2016-11-19

摘要:戴上一副或蓝色或灰色的彩色隐形眼镜,或者是一副让黑眼珠看着更黑更大的“美瞳”,都被时下爱美美眉们认为是为美眼加分的利器。你知道怎么用英语表达吗?

It is 2:30 pm on a Wednesday. Xidan, one of Beijing's largest shopping areas, is swamped with trendy adolescents and 20-somethings all looking for the latest fashion in shoes, clothes and accessories at bargain prices.

Many of them are especially in the hunt for cosmetic contact lenses, a craze that made it to the mainland a few years ago.

The lenses are popular because they enhance the color of the iris, making the eye appear brighter or larger, and in some cases entirely changing its color.

周三下午两点半,在北京最大的购物中心西单挤满了追求时尚的青少年和二十多岁的年轻人,他们在淘既潮又便宜的鞋子、衣服和饰品。

一些人特别想要淘到最近几年在大陆风行的美瞳。

这些隐形眼镜很流行,因为它们会让眼球变大,让眼睛看上起更大更明亮,有的还会改变眼睛的颜色。

【讲解】

文中的“cosmetic contact lenses”就是“美瞳”的意思,即彩色隐形眼镜。“contact lenses”是指“隐形眼镜”。“cosmetic”作名词是指“化妆品”,作形容词是指“美容的,化妆用的”。“彩色隐形眼镜”还可以说“colored contact lenses”,或者简称为“colored lenses”。
