雖說如今留長發(fā)的多數(shù)為女性,可男士梳辮子的傳統(tǒng)在久遠的古代就已經(jīng)存在了,而且因發(fā)辮的位置和形狀不同,還被冠以不同的名稱加以區(qū)分。如果說常見的pigtail和ponytail是來自于歷史的傳承,那么我們今天說的rattail則應(yīng)該是傳統(tǒng)向時尚發(fā)展的一個產(chǎn)物。
Rattail is a hair style that is characterized by a long strand of hair growing downward from the back of the head while the rest of the hair is short, thus resembling a rat tail. This hair style is more commonly seen among males. In some instances, an individual might choose to grow several tails as opposed to a single very long tail.
Rattail(鼠尾辮)指大部分頭發(fā)為短發(fā),只將腦后一小撮留長成辮子的發(fā)型,因形似老鼠尾巴而得名。這種發(fā)型在男士中比較常見。有些情況下,一個人腦后不一定只留一根長辮子,而可以留好幾條這樣的小辮子。
The rattail saw a brief period of mainstream popularity during the 1980s and has rapidly fallen out of vogue, but can still be seen occasionally.
鼠尾辮在上世紀80年代曾經(jīng)盛行一時,不過很快就淡出了時尚圈,如今偶爾還能看到有人留這樣的發(fā)型。
For example:
Gerald finally acknowledged that he was no longer a teenager and realized that he needed to cut off his beloved rattail in order to display a more professional appearance.
杰拉爾德終于承認他不再是十幾歲的孩子了,也意識到為了表現(xiàn)自己更專業(yè)的一面,他得剪去鐘愛的鼠尾辮。
