鹿粉们都哭完了没?wuli鹿欧巴不仅长得帅,行事作风也很酷呦,谈个恋爱也要顶着掉粉的风险公开,一点也不藏着掖着,笔芯笔芯~今天我们来学习高调和低调的英文怎么表达?
We had a class with all girls yesterday.
And for that class We had a very interesting discussion topic. The topic was: "describe your husband/father". I remember very clearly there was a student who gave an answer that I like a lot. She said:"He's very successful; but the way he dresses, the way he talks and acts-no one notices him. He's very humble"
Now the question is : Is humble the right word here?Can we use the word humble to mean 低调?The two words are related, but they are not the same. To mean 低调, we should use "low key". Now, what about the opposite if we want to say that someone is 高调,should we say high key? This's very tricky one. High key sounds right, doesn’t it? But actually the word would be "high profile" .
high key 其实是摄影里的专业词,指高色调的照片。
我们昨天在全都是女生的班里讨论个很有趣的话题:形容你的老公或爸爸。其中一个学生给了个很有意思的答案:他很成功但是他的打扮穿着和举止永远都不会引人注目、他很humble。在这里我们应该用humble来表达低调吗?虽然humble和低调相关但他们不相同,我们应该说low key。那相反呢?应该用high key吗?这个有点难,高调应该是high profile. High key 其实是摄影里的专业词,指高色调的照片。
重点表达
low key 低调
high profile 高调
