ESL露西的一天 第47期:发型服饰讲解(10)

 Remember, in the closet¹, you hang your clothes often; in a dresser, you put your clothes in a little box, which we call a drawer, "drawer." 记住，你经常把衣服挂在衣橱里；在梳妆台里，你把你的衣服放在一个小盒子里，我们称之为抽屉（drawer）。

So, a dresser is a piece of furniture that has several drawers, or several boxes that you can pull out and put clothing into. 所以，梳妆台是一件家具，它有几个抽屉，或者几个盒子，你可以把它们拉出来，把衣服放进去。

Pantyhose, "pantyhose," (one word) is like a combination² of a pair of pants and a sock. It's something that women put on. 连裤袜（pantyhose）是一条裤子和一只袜子的组合。这是女人穿的。

Usually it goes over their feet and goes all the way up to their waist³, and then they put a skirt on so that it covers the top part of their legs. 通常，它会盖过脚，一直延伸到腰部，然后她们会穿一条裙子，这样它就能覆盖到腿的上部。

Again, this is something only worn⁴ by a woman. 再说一次，这是一种女人才穿的衣服。

Pantyhose are usually a color that is brown or a color of your skin, 裤袜通常是棕色或你皮肤颜色，

and they're a more formal⁵ type of clothing. You would use pantyhose for going to a business meeting if you were a woman. 是一种比较正式的衣服。如果你是女性，你会穿连裤袜去参加商务会议。

If you were a man, you wouldn't wear pantyhose unless you wanted to look like a woman, but that's a different story! 如果你是男人，那么你不会穿连裤袜，除非你做出女人的样子，但那是另一回事!
