眼睛也微笑 smize
前段时间微博上盛传smilence(笑而不语)、antizen(蚁族)等有中国特色的英文词汇。其实,讲英语的人们也喜欢用这种方式自己造词,比如今天要说的这个smize。
Tyra Banks
Smize means "smile with your eyes," as coined by supermodel Tyra Banks on the thirteenth cycle of America's Next Top Model. Ever since its introduction, the term smize became part of the daily lexicon of Tyra and her minions.
Smize的意思是“用眼睛微笑”。这个词是美国超模泰拉•班克斯在第13期美国超级模特选秀大赛中独创的。自从这个词出现以来,它就成了泰拉和她的跟班们的口头禅。
For example:
Your picture will look so much better when you smize.
你的眼睛充满笑意的时候,照片看上去效果会更好。
