雙語閱讀：你的男朋友是哪一型

摘要：一項新研究指出了男式造型上新出現的四種類型。他們將其命名爲“中性型”、“主流大鬍子型”、“都市型”、“浪漫型”。

The 90s were a breakthrough period for the modern man - a time when it finally became acceptable for the male sex to admit they use moisturiser.

The new breed of men became so common that a new phrase was coined to describe them - the metrosexual, with stars like David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo leading the trend.

對於現代男士來說，90年代是一個突破性的時期——正是在這個時候，人們終於接受了男士用潤膚霜。

這種新型男士現在如此普及，以至於人們發明了一個新詞來形容他們——“都會美型男”，大衛.貝克漢姆和克里斯蒂亞諾•羅納爾多都是這種類型的領軍人物。

A new study by Braun has identified the four different new breeds. They identified them as Mr Mandrogynous, Mr Mainstream Moustache, Metro-Dude and The Remantic.

一項新研究指出了男式造型上新出現的四種類型。他們將其命名爲“中性型”、“主流大鬍子型”、“都市型”、“浪漫型”。

Mandrogynous

Mr Mandrogynous:

中性型

Who: A slap in the face to old-school stereotypes of red-blooded heterosexual males, daily gym sessions keep him looking good as his idols Cristiano Ronaldo and Dan Osborne.

他是誰：這種類型的出現相當於在傳統的、樣板式的、血氣方剛的異性戀男士臉上扇了一巴掌。他們以克里斯蒂亞諾·羅納爾多，丹·奧斯本爲偶像，會每天去健身房鍛鍊，讓自己保持美觀的外形。

Grooming Ritual: Buffed and supremely preened, he unselfconsciously practices Manscaping, indulges in regular spray tans and aspires to a hairless aesthetic.

保養習慣：皮膚光滑，護養精緻。他們將刮毛視爲慣性的習慣，饕足於小麥膚色，希望擁有完美無瑕的皮膚以滿足自己的美學。

Expert Opinion: He's a narcissist. These guys are working out for themselves. They want to look in the mirror and feel good because they are so buff.

專家意見：他是一個自戀者。他塑造體形是爲了自己。他們總是希望自己光鮮亮麗，以便在照鏡子時獲得自我滿足感。

Mainstream Moustache

Mr Mainstream Moustache:

主流大鬍子型

Who: Not quite a hipster - he reached peak beard months ago. He's taken on the reinvention of the moustache as a personal project.

他是誰：他不是嬉皮士——他會花數個月的時間蓄出大鬍子。他已經將鬍子的新造型視爲了一種個人事業。

Grooming Ritual: Whatever it is, it isn't what everyone else is doing.

保養習慣：不管他們的日常保養習慣如何，應該和一般大衆的做法不太一樣。

Expert Opinion: We're starting to see regular guys who want to use a moustache to redefine their appearance. It used to be just the hipster in tweeds. But once David Beckham was spotted with one – well, all of that changed.

專家意見：我們現在看到的是一類想要用鬍鬚來重塑自己你面容的普通人。過去只有穿着花呢衣服的嬉皮士才蓄鬍子。但是，有一次人們發現大衛·貝克漢姆也蓄着鬍子——然後情況就完全改變了。

Metro-Dude

Metro-Dude:

都市型

Who: Re-inventing geek-chic, he's the technophile driving the digital revolution - most likely to be found talking algorithms and app building.

他是誰：這種風格是對奇客風格的重新發現，他是推動社會的數字化革命的技術人才——大多數都學過演算法和編程。

Remantic

The Remantic:

新浪漫型

Who: The re-born romantic, he's suave, sophisticated and high-powered. This guy sets trends in the city on a wage that is finally enough to live the lifestyle he's always aspired to. Fancy cars? Bespoke suits? You name it, of course he has it.

他是誰：這類人是中世紀浪漫騎士的轉世，他們文雅、深邃、手握重權。正是這類人爲城市裏同類人定立了工資標準，靠着這種薪酬標準，他們能夠實現自己一直期待的生活方式。豪華轎車?定製男裝?你能想到的奢華享受，他們全都擁有。

Grooming Ritual: There's no work-out too tough, and no regime too expensive. This guy will go to any lengths to prove he's the best.

保養習慣：他們不會從事過於激烈的體育鍛煉，也不會用過於昂貴的消費品。但他會用盡一切辦法證明自己是最棒的。

Expert Opinion: These men are the last word in class and they demand the best from every element of their life.

專家意見： 這些人在學生時代往往是班裏最有話語權的人。他們在生活各個方面都要求最好的。

Grooming Ritual: Up on the latest gadgetry but with the nous to get value for money.

保養習慣：他們熱衷於最時興的小飾物，但是也很理智的讓自己花費的錢物有所值。

Expert Opinion: They are the ones who've been so busy staying on top of life, reinventing what it means to be a tech-superstar that it's taken a moment of inspiration from a partner or wife to up their grooming game.

專家意見：他們是這樣一種人，爲了處在社會的頂層而疲於奔命，他們是重新被發現的技術類明星，需要女伴或妻子隻言片語的啓發，才能完成外形上的日常保養。

He is a muscle man. (他是個有肌肉的男人。)有肌肉的男人總是容易被女孩子們關注到。通常被拿來“顯擺”的有以下幾種肌肉：

1. washboard stomach (像搓板一樣的腹肌)， 英文裏也常說six packs (六塊腹肌)。 例：I can see his six pack through his shirt.(隔着他的衣服都可以看到他的六塊腹肌。)

2. rock-hard pecs. (厚實的胸肌)。 Rock-hard是指“堅如磐石，異常堅挺”。Pec 是pectoral的縮寫。

3. bulging biceps (鼓鼓的二頭肌)。 還記得大力水手吃完菠菜以後的樣子嗎?彎一彎胳膊，秀出來的就是bulging biceps。

形容肌肉型男，口語裏我們還可以說：

1. Richard is so cut. I can see his six packs through his shirt.

Richard好有肌肉哦。我隔着他的衣服都可以看到他的六塊肌。

2. I‘ve been working out with weight’s for months and now I’m ripped.

我已經舉重健身好幾個月了，現在我有非常明顯的肌肉。

3. I have to say, my upper body is quite buff now.

我想說，現在我的上半身真是非常健美。
