托福词汇之“割双眼皮”用英语怎么说

Source: 互联网    2017-06-06  我要投稿   论坛   Favorite  

  俗话说,“爱美之心,人皆有之”。有不少单眼皮女性(部分男性也是)想让自己变成双眼皮,据说这样可以“让眼睛显得更大,更有神”*_*。我们今天就来讨论一下“割双眼皮”用英语怎么说。

  说到割双眼皮,首先肯定得知道双眼皮怎么说。我们先来看一段摘自于Washington Post(华盛顿邮报)官网的一段话:

  "To the girls who were not born with double-eyelids, double-eyelid surgery is a little magic granting their wishes to be prettier," North Korean defector Mina Yoon writes in her most recent column for NKNews.org about life inside the Hermit Kingdom.

  (来源:Washington Post官网,地址为https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2013/10/04/cosmetic-eye-surgery-costs-only-3-in-north-korea-but-its-punished-with-hard-labor/?utm_term=.4e5691f9f1b8)

  文中的double-eyelids(可以没有连字符)就是双眼皮的意思,但为什么会是复数呢?因为人都有一双眼睛,每只眼睛有一只双眼皮,所以两只眼睛有两只双眼皮。提到双眼皮,我们肯定会想到“内双”和“外双”,它们分别是inner double eyelids和outer double eyelids。有双就有单*_*,单眼皮是single eyelids。

  文中的double-eyelid surgery是“双眼皮手术”,由于是名词修饰名词,因此double-eyelid用的是单数——就像apple tree(苹果树),虽然树上有很多苹果,但apple依然用单数一样。其中的surgery也可用operation替换,但要注意surgery是不可数名词,而operation是可数名词。

  研究完了双眼皮,现在应该开始割了...画面太唯(kong)美(bu),不敢直视*_*。割双眼皮说得文雅一点其实就是做双眼皮手术,手术刚才我们已经学过了,用surgery或operation,那么“做”怎么说呢?其实用have就可以了。因此,“割双眼皮/做双眼皮手术”就是

  have double eyelid surgery

  have a double eyelid operation

  上面已经说过,surgery不可数而operation可数。

  以下资料供大家参考:

  【例】He had an operation to remove a tumour.

  (来源:Oxford Collocations Dictionary for Students of English)

  【例】She had minor surgery on her knee.

  (来源:Oxford Collocations Dictionary for Students of English)

  Plastic surgery is hot in Asia. One in five South Korean women from 19 to 49 have undergone cosmetic surgery, according to a 2009 survey from market-research firm Trend Monitor.
