打扮得“靓毙了”英语怎么说？
天气变热了，身边不少人换上了美美的夏装，很是惊艳。今天我们就来学习一个夸赞别人打扮得漂亮的美国习惯用语：[b]dressed to kill[/b]。这个习惯用语的意思当然不是穿上蒙面的紧身衣去干杀人的勾当；它是指“打扮得漂亮入时、夺人眼球”。[img]http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/language_tips/suvival/attachement/jpg/site1/20110503/0023ae731d750f29de8818.jpg[/img]
人们说某人dressed to kill时，通常是指这人精心打扮以吸引异性的注意。例：
Pete usually wears jeans and a T-shirt. But last night it was hard to recognize him -- he was [b][size=1][color=olive][size=12pt]dressed to kill[/size][/color][/size][/b] because he finally got a date with that blond he's admired for so long.
皮特平时老穿牛仔裤和T恤，但是昨晚我简直没认出他来。他打扮得帅极了，因为他倾心已久的那位金发美女终于同意跟他出去约会了。
我们再看一个用到dressed to kill的例子，这个例子说的是个女孩，说话人的妹妹玛丽为参加毕业舞会而精心打扮：
It took Mary two hours to get ready, but it was worth it -- she was [b][size=1][color=olive][size=12pt]dressed to kill[/size][/color][/size][/b] and the center of attention. Everyone was saying she was the most beautiful woman at the prom.
玛丽为参加毕业舞会花了两个钟头打扮。不过倒也挺值的，她穿戴得美丽动人，成为了舞会的焦点。大家都说她是毕业舞会上最漂亮的女孩。
language tips 在中国不是也说 致命的吸引力么 嘿嘿
看来美女对全世界人民的效果是一样的。
