a.up
b.down
c.in
d.out
答案是:c. in,in 在英語(yǔ)里往往代表時(shí)尚的意思,比如what's in at the moment?意思就是現在流行的是什么?你可能也會(huì )聽(tīng)到人們談到thein-thing,它指那些現在流行、時(shí)尚的東西,并不局限于時(shí)裝,還包含音樂(lè ),語(yǔ)言表達等。Up,downt都不是時(shí)尚的意思,out正好和時(shí)尚相反,這個(gè)詞是指過(guò)時(shí)的。

b.baggy
c.tight
d.shaggy
答案是:b.baggy,Baggy 表示衣服穿著(zhù)很寬松,有的時(shí)候流行的是寬松類(lèi)型的衣服,并不代表衣服不合身。a不對,因為英語(yǔ)里沒(méi)有loosy這個(gè)詞;c不對,因為tight是寬松的反義詞,意思是很緊;d不對,因為Shaggy一般是用來(lái)形容頭發(fā)亂糟糟的意思。
