Then, she lathers up quickly and gives her "legs a quick shave." 接下来,她飞快地涂上肥皂“刮腿毛”。 To lather, "lather," up (two words) means to put liquid on your body - soap or shampoo or what we would call shaving cream and move it back and forth - mix it with water until you have bubbles that cover your skin - this is to lather up - or covers your hair, to lather up with shampoo on your hair. 打肥皂(lather up)就是把液体涂在身上,然后涂抹均匀,兑水,涂到泡泡盖住皮肤为止,这叫做打肥皂。这种液体可能是肥皂或者洗发水,也可能是剃须膏。揉起泡泡包住了头发,意思就是给头发打上洗发水。
Lucy lathers up and gives her "legs a quick shave." 露西飞快地涂上肥皂“刮腿毛”。
Shave, "shave," can be a noun and a verb. To shave means to remove hair from your body - from your skin. 剃须(shave)既是动词也是名词。动词“剃须”的意思是除去皮肤上的毛发。
Lucy says she gives her "legs a quick shave." Women in the United States usually shave their legs - they get the hair off of their legs. 露西“刮腿毛”很快。美国女性通常都会刮腿毛,也就是除去腿上的毛发。
They'll also shave under their arms, what we would call their armpit, "armpit." Your armpit is that space underneath your arm that connects your arm to the rest of your body. 她们也经常刮胳膊下的毛,也就是我们说的腋窝(armpit)。腋窝是指胳膊下边的小空间,连接胳膊和身体。
Men do not shave their legs; they do sometimes shave their face, or like me, shave their head. 男性不爱刮腿毛,他们有时候会刮脸,或者剃头,比如我。 |
