今天给学生辅导的时候,忽然有一个词从他嘴里迸出来、我居然翻字典都没有找到 回家查维基百科才翻到这个字。见下。不知道中文的相应翻译会是什么呢?
An It girl or It-girl is a charming, sexy young woman who receives intense media coverage unrelated or disproportional to personal achievements. The reign of an "It girl" is usually temporary; some of the rising It girls will either become fully-fledged celebrities or their popularity will fade. The term "It boy", much less frequently used, is the male equivalent.!(IT girl指一个风情万种的性感年轻女子,备受媒体关注。然而她所受的媒体关注与个人的成绩无关或不成比例。)
The term was coined by English romance novelist and screenwriter Elinor Glyn to describe actress Clara Bow as she appeared in the 1927 Hollywood silent film It. Glyn described the term thus:
"IT" is that quality possessed by some which draws all others with its magnetic force. With "IT" you win all men if you are a woman—all women if you are a man. "IT" can be a quality of the mind as well as a physical attraction.[1] and
Self-confidence and indifference whether you are pleasing or not—and something in you that gives the impression that you are not at all cold. That's "IT".[1]
