谢尚识才阅读理解:什么叫都市玉哥

Metrosexual 都市玉哥
（解释）n. A dandyish narcissist in love with not only himself, but also his urban lifestyle. 疼自己，也好都市生活，孤芳自赏的纨绔儿

The typical metrosexual is a young man with money to spend, living in or w
ithin easy reach of a metropolis - because that'sswheresall the best shops, clubs, gyms and hairdressers are. He might be officially gay, straight or bisexual, but this is utterly immaterial because he has clearly taken himself as his own love object and pleasure as his sexual preference. Particular professions, such as modeling, waiting tables, media, pop music and, nowadays, sport, seem to attract them but, truth be told, they're pretty much everywhere. —— “Meet the metrosexual,” Salon.com

典型的都市玉哥是指那么一群青年男子：他们手中有钱，或住市区，或在近郊——因为精品店、俱乐部、健身房和美容院就云集都市。他或许会一本正经地说自己是同性恋，或异性恋，或干脆就是双性恋，可千万不能当真。明眼人一看就知，他自怜自爱，自娱自乐。只有一些特定职业——譬如当个模特，充个待应，混迹媒体，唱曲流行，还有玩玩大当其道的体育——似乎才能吸引他们。 不过说句实话，哪儿都在晃动他们的身影。 ——《遭遇都市玉哥》,《沙龙》网站

▲ himbo 浅薄帅哥

（解释）n. A man who is good-looking, but unintelligent or superficial.一表人材，却头脑简单，学识肤浅的低能儿

After three Garbage albums, Manson has not yet become a tedious pop princess. Undeniably charismatic, she can be distinguished from most of the pop world's thrusting teens and vainglorious himbos by one easy test: she has opinions. ——“Talking Trash,” Sydney Morning Herald

曼森出了三本垃圾写真之后，还没有成为流行歌坛令人生厌的公主。她魅力依存，无可否认，绝对有别于流行歌坛那些横冲直撞的稚嫩小哥，以及那些自吹自擂的浅薄帅哥。因为她还有主见。 ——《且说垃圾货》，《悉尼先驱晨报》[澳]

▲ toxic bachelor 薄情伟哥

（解释）n. An unmarried man who is selfish, insensitive, and afraid of commitment.自私自利，冷漠无情，不负责任的单身儿

I hope no one gave you The Rules for Christmas, girls, because I'm afraid that the idea that men could be brought to heel, like dogs, is completely over. There is a triumphalist whiff of testosterone in the air - the toxic bachelor, formerly known as the cad, the rake, the bounder and the ladykiller, is back in town. ——“The toxic bachelor is coming to town,” Independent on Sunday

姑娘，但愿没人给你灌输圣诞习俗之类的玩意儿，男人可不再像那哈巴狗，会跪到你的石榴裙前。当今天下漂着一股自命不凡的雄性气息。这些薄情伟哥，就是过去人们熟知的都市痞子、淫逸浪子、粗俗汉子、调情小子，他们现在又在你的身边转悠。
