Day 19 “上相”用英語怎么說呢？

A: Darby，I saw your new video.

D: Oh，did you like it?

A: Yes. But I think you look better in real life.

D: Ugh，I know. It's so annoying. I'm not photogenic at all.

A: Well，I am.

D: Shut up!

Well，聽完今天的對話之后，我們要來學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)非常地道的表達(dá)，就是“上相”。“上相”用英語怎么說呢？

“Photogenic” is an adjective，an adjective to describe somebody who looks really good in pictures. Maybe in real life they don't even look that good but in pictures for some reason they look amazing.

Some people are not photogenic. They look really good in real life，like me. I'm pretty handsome.（Alex：Shut up!）But in pictures I don't look as good as I do in real life.

photogenic就是指的“非常上相的”。比如你的好朋友給你看ta的寫真集，你就可以說：You are so photogenic！作為好朋友ta肯定說：那我真人不好看嗎？

實(shí)際上大部分時(shí)間“You are photogenic.”都是用來夸贊別人的，夸別人非常上相，拍照片很好看。

OK，so for today's bonus we are gonna teach you a really interesting and very very local expression. We say：“The camera adds ten pounds.”

You might realize this too. In pictures sometimes you look fatter than you do in real life. I don't know why. For example，Alex and I have been going to the gym for two hours every day. We are really thinner than we were before，but people will still say，“你們胖了嗎?”

OK，the camera adds ten pounds.雖然我們已經(jīng)經(jīng)常去健身了，但是當(dāng)在視頻里出現(xiàn)的時(shí)候，還是會(huì)顯得很胖。視頻不同于拍照，照片可以用軟件修一下臉，視頻沒有辦法修，這讓我們感到很苦惱。“The camera adds ten pounds.”的意思就是“鏡頭會(huì)讓你的臉顯得你胖十磅”。
