“小白臉”這個(gè)詞大家一定熟悉，說(shuō)來(lái)歷史上早有先例，武則天就養(yǎng)了很多“面首”，這應(yīng)該和現(xiàn)在我們所說(shuō)的“小白臉”是一個(gè)性質(zhì)。“小白臉”的英文表述其實(shí)很可愛，跟玩具toy有關(guān)，你知道是什么嗎?

"Toy boy" has come along in the last 10 or 15 years. It's British slang, from the 1980s. It refers to an attractive young man being kept as a lover by another person, by an older person, that's the crucial thing: the older person is keeping the younger man as that person's "toy boy".

Toy boy(小白臉)這個(gè)說(shuō)法大概是過(guò)去10到15年間開始流行起來(lái)的，是20世紀(jì)80年代的一個(gè)英國(guó)俚語(yǔ)。Toy boy 指長(zhǎng)相俊俏、被年紀(jì)大的人包養(yǎng)作為情人的年輕男子。這里傳達(dá)的關(guān)鍵的一點(diǎn)信息是：年紀(jì)大的這個(gè)人把被包養(yǎng)的這個(gè)年輕男子當(dāng)作自己的“玩物”。

For example:

He is a toy boy because he has been kept as a lover by a rich old woman for five years.

他是個(gè)吃軟飯的“小白臉”，因?yàn)樗呀?jīng)被一個(gè)富婆包養(yǎng)了五年了。

有個(gè)表達(dá)和toy axoy非常相近，一不留神很可能搞錯(cuò)，那就是tom boy。

tomboy “假小子”

\

Tomboy is a girl who behaves according to the gender role of a boy. 一個(gè)行為舉止像男孩的女孩子，not very feminine。

Tomboy的三點(diǎn)特質(zhì)：

1 穿著男性化：The wearing of typically masculine-oriented types of clothes.

2 愛好男性化The practice of games and activities (often physical in nature) that are typically considered to be the domain of boys. For example, a tomboy is more interested in sports and cars than fashion or movie stars.

3 交友男性化The preference to befriend boys rather than other girls.

One good example of this kind of "tom boy" is the 2005 Super Girl contest winner, Li Yuchun. To tell you the truth, the first time you saw her on TV,youcouldn't tell she was a girl, but the moreyou watched the moreyou liked her style.

假小子的典型代表人物就是2005年“超級(jí)女聲”的冠軍——李宇春。說(shuō)實(shí)話，當(dāng)你在電視上第一次看見她的時(shí)候，你可能會(huì)看不出她是個(gè)女生，可你看她越多次，你就會(huì)越喜歡她。

與跨越了性別界限的中性女孩tomboy相比，你會(huì)不會(huì)覺得浪漫柔美的女孩girly girl更加惹人垂憐?

Girly Girl “真女人”

\

Girly girl is a slang term for a girl or woman who chooses to dress and behave in a traditionally feminine style, such as wearing floral dresses, blouses and skirts, and talking about relationships and other activities which are associated with the traditional gender role of a girl. 花樣美裝，長(zhǎng)裙曳地，說(shuō)女人的話，行女人的事，一個(gè)女人味十足的傳統(tǒng)而古典的形象呼之欲出。
