苗条

A brilliant, thoughtful and plus-size attorney with a loyal assistant, Jane has always lived in the shadow of her more comely colleagues, whereas Deb has always relied on her external beauty.

Jane是个聪明睿智、很有主见、热爱工作、忠于职守的女律师，唯一的缺点是－－她太胖了！周围的女同事一个个又苗条又漂亮，这让Jane不免总有些自惭形秽。

While the slim Deb could comfortably subsist on a diet of 7grapefruit and 8celery , Jane's plus-size body craves chocolate doughnuts.

苗条的黛布以柚子、芹菜为食就可以轻松舒服地过日子，简的大尺码身体却渴求巧克力和炸面圈。

To be specific: there is Jenna Bush, in her youthfully elegant slim-line and sleeveless Oscar de La Renta wedding dress bedecked in organza blooms, her hair loose and twisted lightly with flowers, standing on a grassy expanse at her parents' ranch, her husband in a dark blue suit. Here is Peter and his Canadian bride, she all meringue pouf, tiara and veil, he in morning suit, on the steps of St George's chapel in Windsor.

仔细对比一下：那边是詹娜布什，年轻，优雅，身材苗条，一袭奥斯卡德拉伦塔的无袖婚纱，点缀着透明硬纱制成的花朵，她的头发散放在肩上，用花儿轻轻缠绕起来，站在她父母农场的草地上，她的丈夫穿着深蓝色西服；这边是彼得菲利浦斯和他的加拿大籍新娘，她全身裹在蓬松的婚纱里，戴着冠状头饰和面纱，他穿着晨礼服，双双站在温莎堡圣乔治礼拜堂的台阶上。

Those astronomical performance numbers and the One-77's svelte 3,300 pound curb weight should net a top speed well past the 200 mph mark, with a 0-60 time of a scant 3.5 seconds.

业绩数字和一个77的苗条三三零零磅遏制净重量应的最高速度以及过去的二○○英里每小时标志，以0-60很少的时间3.5秒。

Thanks for the God's predilection, I am slender and have a genius of music.

感谢上帝对我的偏爱，让我拥有苗条的身材和与生俱来的音乐天分。

She says health is priceless, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment.

她说健康是无价的，我同意她的说法，但是我现在看起来非常苗条。

From cute child actor to svelte blonde to redheaded bombshell and Hollywood star.

从可爱的儿童演员到苗条且金发碧眼的红发好莱坞明星。

I brought up Ronsard's name just now and her figure required a word from his vocabulary, one for which we have no equivalent in English: rondelet -- all that is seductive in plumpness without losing all that is nice in slimness.

我说"丰满"，其实这给词儿并不确切。我刚才提到过朗萨德，他有个词儿倒是可以用来形容玛丽，叫做"丰裕"，既有挑逗性的丰满又不失苗条之魅力。

Colors are widely used to manipulate our impression of roominess of a space and the slimness of a figure. It is commonly taught in art schools that certain colors give more advancing and expanding look than the others. However, this observation remains anecdotal and needs to be verified with quantitative methods.

色彩的前进后退以及膨胀收缩效果在色彩规划的实务工作上具有极为重要的份量，举凡利用配色来营造比实际来得宽阔的室内空间、比实际身材苗条的服装设计、或是在平面上制造深度感觉等，均可利用色彩的前进或膨胀特性来发挥。

I am not sure when it was that we replaced the slender, round-shouldered figure of the English male with an ancient Greek version but this model is now ubiquitous and triumphant.

我不确定什么时候那个苗条、肩膀浑圆的英国男性形象被眼前的这个古希腊版本所替代，但这位模特的海报目前无处不在，非常成功。

In the negative and interrogative forms, of course, this is identical to the non-emphatic forms.

。但是，在否定句或疑问句里，这种带有"do"的方法表达的效果却没有什么强调的意思。

Go down on one's knees;kneel down

屈膝跪下。。。下跪祈祷
