comeliness vs beauty
「comeliness」強調自然、和諧、得體的外表吸引力,常帶有古典或含蓄的意味;「beauty」則更廣泛,可指任何形式、強烈或明顯的美麗,包括藝術、心靈或抽象概念。
comeliness vs prettiness
「comeliness」側重整體儀態、比例的優雅與和諧,氣質較為成熟或莊重;「prettiness」則更偏向五官精緻、可愛、討人喜歡的視覺美感,可能略顯表面或輕盈。
comeliness vs attractiveness
「comeliness」特指外表上自然、和諧的美觀,是「吸引力」的一種古典表現形式;「attractiveness」涵義更廣,可指外表、性格、能力等任何方面產生的吸引力,且更側重「吸引他人」的效果。
在對話中,人們有時會引述或提及這個較為文學性的詞,來表達對他人觀點的認同或延伸。 EN: I was reading a novel that described her "comeliness" as something quiet and dignified. 翻譯: 我讀到一本小說,形容她的「秀麗」是一種安靜而端莊的特質。
EN:He mentioned the "comeliness" of the old architecture, and I knew exactly what he meant.
翻譯:他提到了老建築的「雅緻」,我完全明白他的意思。
這個詞本身帶有正式或詩意的色彩,在口語中使用時,常伴隨著特定的語氣(如感嘆、懷舊)來強調對某人或某物之美的高度讚賞。 EN: It wasn't just beauty; it was a kind of timeless comeliness that really struck me. 翻譯: 那不僅是美麗;那是一種真正打動我的、永恆的「秀美」。
EN:You should have seen the garden in spring—pure comeliness!
翻譯:你真該看看春天時的花園——簡直是「秀色可餐」!
在較為隨意、思考性的談話中,說話者可能會用這個詞作為一個精確的替代詞,來替換更普通的 "good looks" 或 "prettiness",有時會稍有停頓以示措辭。 EN: She has a certain... comeliness, you know? It's very classic. 翻譯: 她有一種……嗯,「端麗」,你知道嗎?非常經典的那種。
EN:The design aims for elegance, or maybe... comeliness is a better word.
翻譯:這個設計追求優雅,或者說……用「秀雅」這個詞可能更貼切。
正式寫作注意:請注意,"comeliness" 在現代英文口語中並不常見,屬於較為書面、文學或古雅的詞彙。在非正式的日常對話中頻繁使用可能會顯得生硬或不自然。在正式寫作或文學評論中使用則非常合適。

×She has a comeliness personality.
✓She has a comely appearance.
「comeliness」是名詞,指「美麗、標緻」的狀態或特質,通常描述外貌。它不能直接修飾「personality」(人格),因為人格是內在特質。應使用形容詞「comely」來修飾名詞,或改用描述外貌的句子結構。
×He improved his comeliness by exercising.
✓He improved his appearance (or looks) by exercising.
「comeliness」是一個較為正式、文學性的字,通常不用于描述透過努力(如運動、打扮)所改變的外表。它更常指天生或自然的美麗。在口語或一般情境中,使用「appearance」或「looks」更為自然。
×This painting shows a lot of comeliness.
✓This painting has great beauty (or is very comely).
「comeliness」主要用於描述活物(尤其是人)的美麗,較少用於形容無生命物體(如畫作、建築)。形容藝術品或景物的美,更常使用「beauty」、「elegance」或「grace」。
×I want to achieve comeliness.
✓I want to be beautiful (or attractive).
「comeliness」是一個抽象名詞,指一種狀態或特質,通常不與「achieve」(達成)這樣的動詞搭配。它不像「goal」(目標)或「success」(成功)是可以主動「達成」的事物。應使用更直接的說法來表達想變漂亮的意思。
×Comeliness is the most important for a woman.
✓Beauty (or Physical attractiveness) is not the most important thing for a woman.
使用「comeliness」在這個句子中聽起來非常過時且帶有性別刻板印象。這個詞在現代英文中已不常用,如此使用可能顯得冒犯。在討論相關話題時,應使用更中性、現代的詞彙如「beauty」或「appearance」,並注意語境是否得體。
