interestingly hooded eyes

這篇是因為周日與張華先生討論一段:
Her complexion was clear except for the freckles that ringed her eyes and gave her a hooded look: my raccoon mask, she used to say.
--"Spin" by Robert Charles Wilson

而引起注意 hooded

hooded

describes eyes which are partly covered by the eyelids because the eyelids are big:
He watched her from under hooded eyelids.

(from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary )

眼瞼(眼球前的軟皮肌肉組織,邊緣長有睫毛,可以保護眼球。)超大的叫 hooded eyelids. 眼皮大



陸編的字典翻譯成 "半張半閉的"

張華:"陸編的字典翻譯成 "半張半閉的"似乎不對,詳附檔shapes of eyes各種眼睛的名稱,但看了圖,hooded eyes還是不知中文應怎麼叫。"


Hooded eyes

These eyes are set so the natural crease in the eyelid is not readily seen. Highlighting the brow bone and lining the lash base gives hooded eyes an alluring shape.



我說張兄
這似乎可以做成詞條在我的"英文人行道"
可以嗎?

張華兄是位認真的人 回信說:"本來沒問題,可是我的問題是還想不出來中文應該如何叫
。hooded eyes應該有兩種:一種是天生的,如上次附圖;另一種是生氣時類似瞪眼的眼神,台語好像叫HIM。"


我哈哈說 沒解不重要 這要問化裝師......
找一下檔案 發現這位名作家就是 hooded eyes

At 39, Rowling is a tall handsome woman with a long face, a slightly crooked nose and interestingly hooded eyes. Sitting at a conference table in a bungalow adjoining her stately Edinburgh home (neither her only nor her stateliest home), she talks rapidly, even a little nervously.

J. K. Rowling
Author of the Year

Three and a half years ago, no one on earth had heard of Harry Potter except J.K. Rowling, the writer who dreamed him up. And now? Four Harry Potter novels and 76 million copies sold worldwide later, Rowling is earning between $30 and $40 million a year and riding a publishing phenomenon that has silenced dire predictions of the death of the printed word.

The demands of promoting the first four Potter books, not to mention the feature film and taking care of her young daughter have made it hard for Rowling to find time to write, and the next Potter book will be delayed until 2002.
