“一流的”用英語怎么表示?千萬不要只想到“number one”

first-rate

一流的

“一流的”所表達(dá)的意思就是“最好的，最上等的”，所以用英語就可以表示成first-rate。

對(duì)話

A:Do you like the movie starring Tom?

你喜歡由湯姆主演的那部電影嗎?

B:Sure.He is really a first-rate actor.

“一流的”還可以用top-ranking

或者只用top來表示

02

rumour /?ru?m?(r)/

謠言

在口語中還經(jīng)常用hearsay /?h??se?/表示

03

“便裝”還可以用casual clothes表示

另外，與“便裝”相對(duì)應(yīng)的“正裝”是business attire

04
