ESL露西的一天 第12期:梳洗化妆讲解(1)

 　　Part two of "A Day in the Life of Lucy" is called "Cleaning Up and Putting on Make-up."  《露西的一天》第二部分题目是“梳洗化妆”。

　　To clean up is to clean yourself - to make yourself ready to go out of your house usually.  梳洗意思是洗漱清洁，通常是做好出门的准备。

　　To put on make-up needs to put something, usually, on your face that makes you look better.  化妆通常指在脸上抹些东西，让自己看起来更好看。

　　This is something that women do.  这是女孩子们做的事。

　　I need make-up to make me look better because I'm so ugly, but I don't normally¹ wear make-up. 我需要化妆让自己形象好一点，因为我长得不好看，但我一般不化妆。

　　But, more about that later! 不过以后就不一定了。

　　Episode² two begins with Lucy saying that she shares a bathroom with her roommate³ - the other woman that she lives with in her apartment.  第二课开始，露西说她和室友共用卫生间，室友是跟她住同一个公寓的另一个女孩。
