ESL露西的一天 第23期:梳洗化妆讲解(12)

 　　Eye shadow, "shadow," (two words) eye shadow is another kind of powder, but it's powder that a woman puts on the eyelid¹ - the skin that covers the eye.     眼影（shadow）也是一种粉末，女孩子们通常把它涂在眼皮上，也就是遮住眼睛的那块皮肤上。

　　So, it has some color to it; that is called eye shadow. 所以，它也是有颜色的，因此叫作眼影。

　　Lucy says she puts "a few hot curlers in" her "hair and" she's "ready for breakfast." 露西说她“在头发上”卷“几个卷发器”就“可以吃早餐啦”。

　　A curler, "curler," is a small piece of round plastic that women use to make their hair look better. 卷发器（curler）是一个小的塑料圆筒，女孩子们用它来打理头发。

　　They heat up the plastic, and usually there's some metal that they heat up, and they put it in their hair to make their hair more curly². 她们会加热塑料卷发器，通常也有金属做的卷发器，然后卷在头发上，就可以烫卷头发。

　　Curly, "curly," is the opposite of straight. Women can put curls³ in their hair by putting hot curlers in them, and then their hair will be curly. “卷曲”（curly）是“直”的反义词。女孩子们把加热过的卷发器卷在头发上，头发就可以变卷。
