All dolled up 打扮得花枝招展
如果形容一個(gè)人all dolled up 就表示這個(gè)人打扮得花枝招展,漂漂亮亮的。
今日小常識(shí)
Australians are known for their love of music and dressing up. According to the Guinness World Records, the largest gathering of the famous Swedish band ABBA’s impersonators is 368 individuals, or 92 groups, and took place at a school in Melbourne in 2011. The figure could have been higher if 16 participants sung the whole way through the song “Waterloo”.
澳大利亞人以熱愛(ài)音樂(lè)和化妝而著名。根據(jù)吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄, 世界上最大規(guī)模的一次模擬瑞典ABBA樂(lè)隊(duì)的表演就是2011年在墨爾本的一所學(xué)校里舉行的,當(dāng)時(shí)有386人或92個(gè)小組參加。如若當(dāng)時(shí)其中的16個(gè)參與者堅(jiān)持把’Waterloo’這首歌唱完的話,那么數(shù)字還會(huì)更高。
例句
I have to rush home to get all dolled up for the party tonight!

請(qǐng)注意
