Describe a Person Who You Think Wears Unusual Clothes in English

用英语描述一个你认为穿着独特的人

In today’s lesson, we’re going to learn how to describe a person who you think wears unusual clothes in English.

在今天的课程中，我们将学习如何用英语描述一个你认为穿着独特的人。

I will give a full analysis of all the advanced vocabulary, fixed expressions and collocations in a model answer on this topic given by one of my favorite English teachers Keith to beef up your vocabulary bank.

我将对我最喜欢的英语老师Keith就这个话题给出的示范答案中的高级词汇、固定表达以及词组进行全面分析来扩大你的词汇库。

Before we start, I’d like to mention the four steps proposed by Keith to improve your English-speaking fluency. And from my perspective, this method is of great help to me.

在我们开始之前，我想提一下Keith提出的关于提高英语口语流利度的四个步骤。此方法于我而言帮助很大。

#1. Try: take a question and try to answer it.

尝试：找一个问题，试着回答。

#2. Discover: watch a native speaker how to answer the question and analyze all the language that can help you build up the language.

发现：看母语者如何回答该问题，分析母语者使用的所有语言，提高语言积累量。

#3. Practice: repeating the chunks and answering the same question again.

练习：重复话语组块，再次回答同一问题。

#4. Build: give different answers to the same question.

建立：针对同一问题给出不同的答案。

Describe a Person Who You Think Wears Unusual Clothes

So, I’m going to tell you about my history teacher at university.

我要讲的这个人是我大学时期的历史老师。

You know, he was, and still is, a bit of an eccentric, especially when it comes to clothes.

我的这位历史老师过去有点古怪，现在亦是如此，尤其是穿着方面。

You Know (a filler)：是没有实际语义的填充词

eccentric：adj.古怪的；异乎寻常的 n.怪人

I would say his clothes are unconventional, to say the least. Many students actually think he’s just weird. To be honest, he doesn’t seem to care what others think of his taste in clothes.

我认为他的衣着可以说是独特的。实际上大多学生都认为他就是个怪人。说实话，他似乎并不在乎别人如何看待其衣品。

unconventional：（人、态度、行为）不遵循传统的，异于常人的

我认为自己是一位很好的倾听者。

So, let me try to describe his rather offbeat style to you. For starters, he always wears odd color socks. Now, this must be on purpose because I can’t see how he could wear mismatching socks every day if it were by accident.

现在让我试着向你描述一下他非常寻常的穿衣风格。首先，他总是穿颜色不一样的袜子。他一定是有意穿成这样的，因为如果是无意中穿成这样，他又怎会每天都穿着不匹配的袜子。offbeat：不寻常的、不落俗套的

= unconventional/unusual

for starters: 首先

mismatching socks = odd socks 不成对的袜子

if it were by accident

Next, his trousers, they always seem to be too short and that’s how you notice his socks.

其次是他的裤子，似乎总是很短，正是因为这样，你才会看到他的袜子。

And more often than not, he wears braces rather than a belt. Maybe it’s because he’s rather stout and chubby. Unfortunately, it makes him look a bit like a clown.

大多数时候，他总是穿吊带裤而非系皮带。也许是因为他比较粗壮，且胖乎乎的。不幸的是，这让他看起来有点像个小丑。

braces 英/suspenders 美：(裤子上的)背带，吊带

stout：肥胖的、粗壮结实的

chubby：胖乎乎的、丰满的

Finally, he tends to sport flamboyant shirts with complex patterns and bright colors, but for me, you know, his clothes don’t really match.

最后，他倾向于穿有复杂图案、颜色鲜艳的华丽衬衫，但在我看来，他的穿着并不搭。

我的父亲常常爱管闲事。

sport：得意地穿戴

I mean the colors don’t go well together if I’m honest. But he seems very comfortable and at ease in what I would call very quirky attire.

说实话，他衣服的颜色并不搭。但在我看来十分古怪的衣着，他看起来穿的十分舒服和自在。
