1 wear way too much perfume 擦太多香水了
She wears way too much perfume. 她擦太多香水了。
2 reek of 有...的臭气,带有明显...气味
It's not even good pefume. She reeks of lavender. It's like I'm being suffocated by my Nan. 她涂的不是什么好香水。散发出薰衣草的味道,那感觉就像我被我祖母身上的气味给熏得窒息了。
3 smell lovely 闻起来不错
She smells lovely. I think it's Chanel or something. 她身上闻起来不错。我觉得是香奈儿之类的。
4 suffocate/'sʌfəkeɪt/ vt. 压制,阻碍;使……窒息 vi. 受阻,受扼制;窒息
His perfume really suffocates me. 他的香水味让我窒息。(词根词源:suffocate(使)窒息,(使)气闷来源于拉丁语中由前缀sub-(下)和fauces(咽喉,--英语faucal的词源)组成的复合动词suffocare的过去分词。词根词缀:suf-下 + foc咽喉 + -ate动词词尾 同源词:faucal)
6 top note 头香,前调
middle note 中调,中段香韵
base note 后调,基香调
I saw a TV programme on perfume once and in Paris they take it really seriously. When they talk about it, they describe it as having notes. There are top notes, which are the scents you first notice, middle notes, which are the scents that linger after the top notes and also base notes which mix with the middle notes but are not necessarily perceivable until about half an hour after you've put the perfume on. 我曾经看过一个关于香水的电视节目。在巴黎,人们很重视香水,说到香水,人们会提及香水的香调。前调,就是你最初闻到的香味;中调就是在前调之后散发的香味;后调就是混合着中调的香味,可能在擦香水半小时之后才能闻出来。
7 put smells into words 把气味用语言描述出来
It's difficult to put smells into words. 很难用语言把气味描述出来。
8 hit the nail on the head 一语中的,切中要害,一针见血
It's a bit like describing music, and it's hard to hit the nail on the head.这有点像是描述音乐,很难一语中的。
(这句起源于罗马的成语形容,我们敲钉子的时候得正敲在钉子头部才能钉准。所以当有人说话一针见血时,我们就会说他像敲钉子一样准。)
