在我們的語言中,虛有美麗外表的女子通常被叫做“繡花枕頭”或者“花瓶”。其實,這樣的稱呼並不是女性專屬的。
我們身邊也並不缺少徒有其表、內裏虛空的花樣美男,他們就叫做man candy。
Man candy is a man who is superficially attractive to look at or a man who has an attractive appearance but who may be vapid and lack substance.
Man candy(草包美男)指外表很吸引人的男子;或者徒有迷人外表,但其實很無趣又沒有內涵的男子。
For example:
Ken is a sweet piece of man candy, Debbie has to be told that looks are not everything.
肯就是個甜美的草包美男,我們應該提醒德比,告訴她外表並不能代表一切。
