在美式英语中,"dressed to kill!"的另一种表达是穿得非常有吸引力,让人印象深刻。
This phrase came from criminals.
这个词语源于罪犯。
In the past, people who were professional criminals often dressed in fancy clothing to hide the fact that they were doing horrible things.
在过去,职业罪犯通常乔装打扮来掩盖他们的可怕行径。
So, if you were 'dressed to kill' back then, you would be wearing a pretty nice looking outfit.
因此,过去如果你"dressed to kill",你应该穿着好看的衣服。
下次你想赞美别人就可以说一句:
You are dressed to kill today!
你今天打扮的太酷了呀!
