Can I go out in this dress?
  對 話   Gill: Can I go out in this dress?
  Meg: Yes, it really suits you.
  Gill: Oh no, look! I've snagged my pantyhose, the left leg.
  Meg: You must have caught it on a sharp edge.
  Gill: What'll I do now? I can't go out like this.
  Meg: Well, if you haven't got a spare pair, why not put on a long skirt instead.
  琪爾:我穿這套衣服外出好不好?
  美格:好,這套衣服你穿起來很好看。
  琪爾:啊,糟糕,看,我的褲襪鉤破了,在左腿処。
  美格:一定是給什麽尖銳的東西鉤到撕破了。
  琪爾:我現在怎麽辦呢?可不能這樣子外出啊。
  美格:嗯,假如你沒有另一對褲襪,不如改穿長裙吧。
  女人穿衣服,往往很講究,假如拿不定主意,還會問家人:Can I go in this dress? (我穿這套衣服去好不好?)。
  畱意dress 作可數(countable)或不可數(uncountable)名詞都可以。作可數名詞,是指上下身相連的女裝;作不可數名詞,則是指衣服或服裝,例如:(1) She had on a revealing dress(她穿著一襲暴露的連身裙)。(2) Gandhi visited England in his national dress(甘地穿著民族服裝出訪英國)。
  ‘褲襪’是pantyhose或pantihose,例如:She wore (a pair of) black pantyhose under her miniskirt(她穿著迷你裙,下麪是黑色的褲襪)。英文說褲子,一般都用s這個複數形式,例如She was wearing trousers/jeans/hot pants(她穿著褲子╱牛仔褲╱熱褲);‘褲襪’英式英文叫tights,也是用s形式。但pantyhose卻不可加s;‘兩條褲襪’是two pairs of pantyhose,不可說two pantyhoses。 Pantyhose本身就算是複數名詞,所以動詞也須用複數形式,例如:Her pantyhose were hung out to dry(她的褲襪掛了在外麪晾乾)。
  褲襪很容易鉤破。不小心把衣服著破,英文可用snag、rip兩字來說,例如:(1) He snagged/ripped his trousers climbing up the tree(他爬到樹上時,鉤破了褲子)。(2) A nail snagged/ripped her skirt (= she snagged/ripped her skirt on a nail 她的裙子被一枚釘子鉤破了)。
