主要看氣質(zhì),你知道“氣質(zhì)”怎么翻譯成英文嗎

形容一個(gè)人有氣質(zhì),可以用elegance和class,elegance強(qiáng)調(diào)高雅、典雅,class強(qiáng)調(diào)有格調(diào)、有品位,也可以用這兩個(gè)詞的形容詞:elegant和classy。如:
Be a girl with a mind, a woman with attitude and a lady with class.要做一個(gè)有思想的女孩,有態(tài)度的女人,有品位的女士。
Classy men have basic manners.有格調(diào)的男性一般都彬彬有禮。

Tips:要根據(jù)語(yǔ)境選詞
在做中翻英時(shí),“氣質(zhì)”不必完全翻譯出來(lái),可以結(jié)合語(yǔ)境選擇適合的詞,只要能表達(dá)出意思即可。
例如,以下兩例中“氣質(zhì)”的翻譯被虛化了:她有一種與生俱來(lái)的高貴氣質(zhì)。
She holds a built-in elegance/nobleness.
她這個(gè)人看上去一點(diǎn)氣質(zhì)都沒(méi)有。
She looks so vulgar.
也可不用虛化處理。比如:
