Part 3 Pick up What Suits You Best 选择最适合你的衣物

Dialogue Script 1  对话原文 1

Jenny: Peter, you look sick!
Peter: But I feel fine.
Jenny: You look greenish-yellow!
Peter: Then there must be something wrong with your eyes.
Jenny: No, it's your shirt. It's the wrong color!
Peter: But it's light pea green. It's cool!
Jenny: But it doesn't look good with your skin tone.
Peter: So?
Jenny: People with different skin tones look good in different colors.
Peter: So what colors should I wear?
Jenny: You're fair, so you should wear basic colors.
Peter: Like navy blue, red, or hunter green?
Jenny: Yeah. Or black. But those aren't for me.
Peter: Your skin is more olive-toned. Kind of yellow.
Jenny: So I look good in grays, browns and white.
Peter: Hmm...so when I buy clothes, I have to pay attention to the color?
Jenny: If you want to look your best.
Peter: I do! But a lot of my clothes are the colors that suit you.
Jenny: Then you can just give them to me!
Peter: Ha! Nice try, Jenny.

讲解：

1. 对话中Jenny觉得Peter今天的脸色很不好，问他是不是病了，Peter却感觉没有什么，但是他的脸脸色发，还黄黄的。Peter说一定是Jenny的眼睛有毛病。Then there must be something wrong with your eyes. there must be something wrong with ...表示“…一定有问题”。如果你觉得事有蹊跷，但是又说不出个所以然来，就可以用这个表达方式，来表达你心中的疑惑，比如说，---If she's so pretty, why doesn't she have a boyfriend? ---There must be something wrong with her. ---如果她真的那么美，为什么她没有男朋友？---她一定是哪里有问题。Jenny说不是自己的眼睛有问题，而是Peter的衣服颜色不对。Peter的衬衫是淡青绿色，他还觉得这个颜色挺酷的。

2. 但是Jenny说这个颜色和Peter的肤色不相配，But it doesn't look good with your skin tone. 这里面出现的look good with something，是指“某物搭配某物还蛮好看的”，因为通常用with这个连词的时候，都是指“东西配东西”。比如说，Does this jacket look good with these pants? 这件外套配这条裤子好看吗？

3. look good 后面还可以加上in，就是指“某人配某件东西很好看”，也就是someone looks good in something，比如说，You really look good in that dress. 你穿那件洋装很漂亮。但是如果你要表达“某件东西配某人好看”的时候，就要用something looks good on someone，不要弄混了，比如说，That shirt looks good on me. 那款衬衫穿在我身上很好看。

4. 每个人肤色不同，适合穿的衣服颜色也不同。那么Peter该穿什么颜色的呢？Jenny分析说，Peter的肤色白，应该穿基本色系的衣服，比如深蓝色，navy blue；红色或者草绿色，就是 hunter green。也可以穿黑色。

5. 但是这些颜色都不适合Jenny，因为她的肤色比较偏向橄榄色调，有点偏黄，所以Jenny穿灰色系，咖啡色系和白色的衣服会好看。所以在买衣服的时候，除了要注意款式之外，还要注意衣服的颜色，可以达到事半功倍的效果。

6. Peter很多衣服的颜色都是适合Jenny的肤色的，Jenny开玩笑说可以把这些衣服都送给她啊，Peter说，Ha! Nice try, Jenny. 你想得美！大家不要光看字面上Nice try.好像是在夸别人“做得好”，实际上Nice try. 常用来讽刺别人“你想得美。”如果有人想骗你去做一件很笨的事情，而你绝对不会去做的时候，你就可以说，Nice try. 我们来举个例子，---If you're going to be gone for a month, then you won't mind if I use your computer, right? ---Nice try. ---如果你要离开一个月，那你一定不介意我用你的电脑了？---你想得美。Nice try.还有另外一个用法，就是在鼓励做过尝试却失败的人。下次你看到拼命想把事情做好，却没有成功的人，就可以拍拍他的肩膀说Nice try.
