從“媽媽牛仔褲”聊聊各種款式牛仔褲的英文說法

每個(gè)人的衣櫥里都至少有一條牛仔褲。這句話如果不是百分之百準(zhǔn)確，至少也說對(duì)了百分之九十。牛仔褲作為一種時(shí)尚、耐穿又彰顯個(gè)性的褲裝，已經(jīng)成為很多人鐘愛之物。隨著時(shí)代的變遷，牛仔褲的款式也在不斷變化，今天我們就來說一說這些款式。

Mom jeans is the informal term now used to refer to a style of women's jeans which have a high waist above the belly button and are loose-fitting, often with excess material around the crotch and legs. Bucking the trend for fading techniques and different shades of denim, these jeans are also characteristically a very uniform, solid blue. Other common features include pleats, tapered legs and elastic waistbands. The expression “mom jeans” is mildly pejorative, though in a light-hearted, humorous way.

“媽媽牛仔褲”是對(duì)高腰、寬松的女式牛仔褲的非正式說法，這種牛仔褲通常會(huì)在襠部和腿部額外加肥。在用褪色技藝和不同色調(diào)的牛仔藍(lán)震蕩潮流界的同時(shí)，“媽媽牛仔褲”都有同一個(gè)鮮明的特色，堅(jiān)持用藍(lán)色。其他共同特征還有，褶皺、錐形褲腿以及松緊腰帶。“媽媽牛仔褲”這個(gè)說法略帶貶損意味，不過是以輕松幽默的方式表達(dá)的。

The very staple of most modern wardrobes, there's been an explosion in terminology for the different types of jeans on offer over the last couple of decades. There's now a whole gamut of styles, including crop or cropped – cut off just below the knee (and usually worn in the summer), skinny – with very tight legs, or the eyewatering spray-on, which are even tighter. At the other end of the spectrum, more baggy varieties include bootcut – with legs that are wider at the bottom, drop-crotch – which have extra material sagging down between the legs, boyfriend – a sloppy, comfy variety (the term takes inspiration from the idea of a woman borrowing her fella's clothes) and the more generic low-rise – a style designed to sit just below the waist.

作為大部分現(xiàn)代人衣櫥中必不可少的元素，牛仔褲的不同款式及其對(duì)應(yīng)的說法在過去幾十年間也有了爆炸性增長(zhǎng)。現(xiàn)在有各種各樣的款式，包括七分牛仔褲（crop，多在夏天穿著）、緊身牛仔褲（skinny），或者讓人看了都流口水的貼身牛仔褲（spray-on）。與之相對(duì)的寬松款也不少，包括微喇牛仔褲（bootcut）、吊襠褲（drop-crotch）、寬松舒適的男友風(fēng)牛仔褲（boyfriend，這個(gè)說法來源于女士借穿男友衣服的行為），以及更加常見的低腰牛仔褲（low-rise）。
