Lesson-3 Appearance နဲ႕ပက္သက္တဲ့ English collocations မ်ား
absolutely gorgeous
My best friend Joanna
is absolutely gorgeous (extremely beautiful).
ကြ်န္ေတာ့္ အခ်စ္ဆံုးသူငယ္ခ်င္း ဂ်ိဳဟာနဟာ အရမ္းလွတယ္။
long, sleek, jet-black
hair
pale blue eyes
a radiant complexion
She has long, sleek,
jet-black hair (sleek = smooth and straight, jet-black = perfectly black), pale
blue eyes (pale = light color), and a radiant complexion (skin
that appears healthy and full of energy).
သူမမွာ ရွည္လွ်ားၿပီး ေျဖာင့္စဥ္းေခ်ာေမြ႕ နက္ေမွာင္တဲ့ ဆံေကသာေတြရိွတယ္။ အျပာေရာင္ေဖ်ာ့ေဖ်ာ့ မ်က္လံုးေတြရိွတယ္။ စိုရႊန္း၀င္းပတဲ့ အသားအေရေတြ ရိွတယ္။
slender waist
People always
compliment her on her hourglass figure (when a woman has large
breasts and hips, but a small waist) and ask her what the secret is
to maintaining such a slender waist (a thin waist).
လူေတြက သူမရဲ႕ သဲနာရီပံုခႏၶာကိုယ္ကို
အၿမဲတမ္း
ခ်ီးမြမ္းခမ္း
ဖြင့္ၾကတယ္။
(ရင္ႀကီးႀကီး၊ တင္ႀကီးႀကီး၊
ခါးေသးေသး)
အဲလို ေသးသြယ္တဲ့ခါးကို
ထိန္းသိမ္းထားႏိုင္တဲ့
လ်ိဳ႕၀ွက္ခ်က္က
ဘာလဲဆိုတာ
ကို
ေမးၾကတယ္။

resemblance (looks extremely similar) to a famous
singer.

ၿပီးေတာ့ နာမည္ႀကီး အဆိုေတာ္ တစ္ေယာက္နဲ႕လည္း တကယ့္ကို အရမ္းတူတယ္။
hideously ugly
Joanna could get any
guy she wanted – so I was really surprised when she introduced me to her latest
boyfriend, who I think is hideously ugly.
ဂ်ိဳဟာနာက သူလိုခ်င္တဲ့ ဘယ္ေယာက်ၤားေလးမဆို ရႏိုင္တာပဲ။ ဒါေၾကာင့္ သူ႕ရဲ႕ အသစ္စက္စက္ ခ်စ္သူေလးနဲ႕ မိတ္ဆက္ေပးေတာ့ အေတာ္ေလးကို အံအားသင့္မိတာေပါ့။ ကြ်န္မအထင္ သူ႕ေကာင္ေလးက အေတာ့္ကို ရုပ္ဆိုးတာပဲ။
curly, shoulder-length
hair
unkempt hair
He has curly,
shoulder-length hair that looks rather unkempt
(unkempt hair = messy hair, it appears that the person doesn’t take care of
their hair).
ေကာင္ေလးရဲ႕ဆံပင္က ခုတ္ေထာက္၊ ေကာက္ေကြးေကြးနဲ႕ အေတာ္ကို မသပ္မရပ္နဲ႕ ရႈပ္ပြေနတာပဲ။ (unkempt hair = ဆံပင္ကို ဂရုမိစုိက္ဘဲ ထားသည့္အခါ ျဖစ္ေပၚလာသည့္ ရႈပ္ပြေနေသာ ဆံပင္)
spuare face
ruddy complexion
deep-set eyes
bushy eyebrows
thick mustache
shaggy beard
facial hair
He has a square face
and a ruddy complexion (reddish skin). His deep-set
eyes (eyes that are far back in the person’s face) are almost
hidden under his bushy eyebrows (big eyebrows with lots of hair),
and he sports a thick mustache and a huge, shaggy beard (a
beard with lots of hair). I guess Joanna doesn’t mind his facial
hair (facial hair = beard and/or mustache).
သူ႕မ်က္ႏွာက ေလးေထာင့္၊ အသားက နီနီ။ သူ႕ရဲ႕ မ်က္တြင္းခြပ္ေနတဲ့ မ်က္လံုးေတြက သူ႕ရဲ႕အေမြးထူထူ မ်က္ခံုးေမြးေတြ ေအာက္ ဖံုးလုနီးနီးပဲ။ သူက ႏုတ္ခမ္းေမြးထူထူ၊ စုတ္ဖြားဖြား ပသိုင္းေမြးနဲ႕။ ကြ်န္မ အထင္ေတာ့ ဂ်ိဳဟာနာက သူ႕ေကာင္ေလးမ်က္ႏွာေပၚက
အေမြးေတြကို အေလးထားပံု မရပါဘူး။
athletic build
broad shoulders
muscular arms
trim his beard
comb his hair
somewhat attractive
His body isn’t bad – he
has an athletic build (body with a lot of muscles), with broad
shoulders (wide shoulders) and muscular arms. If he
would only trim his beard (cut his beard a little shorter) and comb
his hair, I suppose he could be considered somewhat attractive (more
or less beautiful/handsome).
သူ႕ကိုယ္လံုးကေတာ့ မဆိုးဘူး၊ က်န္းမာၾကံ႕ခိုင္တဲ့ခႏၶာကိုယ္၊
ပခံုးက်ယ္က်ယ္၊ သန္မာတဲ့လက္ေမာင္းေတြ
သူ႕မွာရိွတယ္။ ပသိုင္းေမြးကိုညွိမယ္၊
ဆံပင္ၿဖီးလိမ္း လိုက္မယ္ဆိုရင္ေတာ့ သူက အနည္းနဲ႕အမ်ားေတာ့ ဆဲြေဆာင္မႈရိွလာႏိုင္
မယ္လို႕ ယူဆရပါတယ္။
