Let's see, um.

讓我看看。

You are cute.

你真可愛。

All right, let's get this straight.

好，我們把這個說清楚。

The word cute is predominantly used to describe the sweet look of an animal or a little child

可愛這個詞主要用來形容動物或小孩的外表。

The term is sometimes used to describe an adult, but only in informal situations between close friends and lovers

該詞有時可用於形容成年人，但僅限於親密朋友和戀人之間的非正式場合。

Generally, describing someone you find physically appealing as cute in British English is just a bit... ugh.

一般來說，英式英語中，用可愛形容外表吸引人的人有點…呃…怪。

And with so many other wonderful options to choose from, why continue to use such a childish term?

況且，有那麼多其他優美的選項，為什麼還要繼續用這麼幼稚的形容呢？

So I'm going to give you 10 alternatives to the word cute,

Here goes.

開始吧。

Number one: You're adorable.

一、你真討人喜歡。

To adore someone is similar to loving them,

喜愛一個人與愛他們相似，

so if someone makes you feel a sense of love every time you see them then you could call them adorable.

所以，如果有人十分討你喜歡，每次看到他們都有愛的感覺，那麼你可以說他們為討人喜歡。

Number two: You're lovely.

二、你真是個很好的人。

Saying someone is lovely is like calling someone nice.

這個詞是在形容某人很好。

We use this adjective to describe many things, including people.

我們會用這個形容詞來形容很多東西，包括人。

For example, we had a "lovely day" eating a "lovely meal" with Jennifer; she is "lovely."

例如，我們度過了「美好的一天」，與詹妮弗一起用餐十分「美好」； 她人很不錯。

Number three: You're very endearing.

三、你真是惹人愛。

Endearing means inspiring affection, similar to adorable.

Endearing 為引發喜愛之情，類似於 adorable。

An endearing person is someone who makes you feel fond of them.

惹人愛的人會激發人喜歡的心情。

Number four: You're charming.

四、你很迷人。

Think of prince charming, a very pleasant and attractive person.

想想白馬王子，讓人有好感，有吸引力的人。

Have you been charmed by anyone recently?

你最近有被誰迷住了嗎？

Do you have a "charming" smile?

你有「迷人的」微笑嗎？

Number five: You're sweet.

五、你很甜美。

An adjective often used to describe the pleasing taste of sugar.

這個形容詞常用於描述糖製品令人愉悅的味道。

"Sweet" can also be used to describe something or someone who is pleasing, kind or thoughtful.

「甜美」也可以用來形容令人愉悅、善良或體貼的事物或人。

For example, my neighbor is "sweet"; she often waters my flowers when I'm away and baked me a cake for my birthday

例如，我的鄰居很窩心； 她經常在我不在時幫我的花澆水，還給我烤了生日蛋糕。

Number six: You're delightful.

六、你很令人愉悅。

A "delightful" person is a person full of delight, and they often make everyone around them smile.

「令人愉悅」的人是充滿喜悅的人，經常帶給周圍的人歡笑。

Number seven: You're engaging.

七、你很有吸引力。

To be "engaging" means to attract and hold someone's attention with your charm.

「吸引人」意味著用你的魅力吸引並抓住別人的注意力。

For example, a good film is "engaging", a talented singer is "engaging."

比如，一部好電影很「吸睛」，有才華的歌手很「吸引人」。

You simply cannot take your eyes off them.

讓你無法移開雙眼。

Number eight: You're enchanting.

八、你令人沈醉。

To "enchant" someone is to put them under a spell.

「迷惑」某人就像用魅力對他下魔咒。

Therefore, if you are "enchanting" then people will be mesmerised by you, attracted to you as if by magic.

所以，如果你很「迷人」，那人們就會被你迷住，就像被下咒一樣。

Number nine: Your captivating.

九、你擄獲人心。

Along the same lines as enchanting, we have "captivating."

與 enchanting 一樣，captivating 也有「迷人」的意思。

To be "captive" is to be a prisoner, to be held unable to free yourself.

成為「擄獲」就像是成為俘虜，無法逃離。

So, if a person is "captivating", you cannot stop looking at them, you cannot free yourself from wanting to be near them.

所以，如果一個人「擄獲人心」，你會無法停止注視他們，無法擺脫想靠近他們的念頭。

And finally, number ten: You're beautiful.

最後，十，你很美。

It's such a beautiful word "beautiful", and it means pleasing to the senses.

「美麗」這個詞本身就很美，代表能讓感官愉悅。

A person may be "beautiful to look at" and therefore pleasing to the eye.

一個人可能「看起來很美」，賞心悅目。

They may have a "beautiful voice", pleasing to the ear.

他可能有副「優美」得嗓音，悅耳動聽。

They may have a "beautiful personality", pleasing to the mind and soul.

他可能個性很美，讓人思想和靈魂感到愉悅。
