在我们的语言中,虚有美丽外表的女子通常被叫做“绣花枕头”或者“花瓶”。其实,这样的称呼并不是女性专属的。我们身边也并不缺少徒有其表、内里虚空的花样美男,他们就叫做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,但其实很无趣又没有内涵的男子。
For example:
Ken is a sweet piece of man candy, Debbie has to be told that looks are not everything.
肯就是个甜美的草包美男,我们应该提醒德比,告诉她外表并不能代表一切。
