five o'clock shadow
五點鐘的陰影?
英解:
a slight growth of hair on a man's face in the afternoon when he has shaved in the morning
解釋:鬍渣
◆例句:
He hadn't shaved, and there was a hint of a five o'clock shadow on his face. (他沒有刮鬍子,所以臉上有一點點鬍渣的樣子。)
用法:
你一定很好奇,為什麼男生的「鬍渣」有這麼有趣的叫法?想像一下,男士們通常在一早出門前才刮好鬍子,但經過一天的活動,到「傍晚五點」左右,似乎就又長出一些細細短短的鬍渣,所以因而得名。◇
