听力技巧

我们来学习0分30秒的这一句
Unlike you, she's tall, blonde and used to be an Olympic swimmer.

blonde这个词, 有几种不同的搭配都可以表示相同的意思
She's blonde
She has blonde hair
Her hair is blonde
She's a blonde

前边3个用法, blonde都是形容词, 最后1个用法, blonde是名词.

注意usage note, 一般女士的金色头发才用blonde, 男士的话用blond.

我们又一次看到不同词典上不同的观点. 上边是牛津, 认为最好男女都用blond. 下边是vocabulary.com, 认为女的用blonde没啥问题.

我觉得blonde大部分时候是没有贬义的, 比如在视频中就没有贬义.

不过呢, 像这种offensive, derogatory, rude的用法, 大家一定要特别留意. 我们在和外国人交流的时候, 一个句子说的不地道, 没关系, 我们本来就是ESL. 但是如果你说的冒犯到别人, 管你是不是ESL, 别人心里肯定是不爽的.
