日本多个行业禁止女性员工戴眼镜

表示“办公室/医院/宾馆前台等的接待员”，英文解释为“In an office or hospital, the receptionist is the person whose job is to answer the telephone, arrange appointments, and deal with people when they first arrive. In a hotel, the receptionist is the person whose job is to reserve rooms for people and answer their questions.”

表示“穿戴上”，英文解释为“to put on a piece of clothing”举个🌰：

He donned his finest coat and hat.

他穿上了他最帅的外套，戴上了他最好的帽子。

1）此处指的是“（医疗）矫正的”，英文解释为“used to refer to something that is intended to cure a medical condition”，如：corrective surgery/glasses 矫正外科/眼镜；本身也有“改正的，纠正的”的意思，英文解释为“intended to improve a situation”，如：corrective measures/action 纠正措施/行为。

2）直接作名词，表示“纠正物；矫正物，起矫正作用的东西”（something that improves a situation）举个🌰：

This report on the internet provides a corrective to the usual US-based views.

网上的这篇报道矫正了一般以美国为基础的观点。

熟词僻义，表示“患上，患（病）；逐渐形成（疾病或问题）”，英文解释为“If you develop an illness or problem, or if it develops, you start to suffer from it.”举个🌰：

Her son developed asthma when he was two.

她的儿子两岁时患了哮喘。

attire /əˈtaɪə/ 表示“服装；衣服”，英文解释为“clothes”，如：dressed in formal evening attire 穿着晚礼服。

对比：

在LV老板超越比尔·盖茨成全球第二大富豪一文中我们也接触了另一个表示“服装”的词语apparel，In 1984, he acquired the parent company of Christian Dior's apparel branch.

· apparel表示“服装；尤指礼服”，英文解释为“Apparel means clothes, especially formal clothes worn on an important occasion.”举个🌰：

Women's apparel is offered in petite, regular, and tall sizes.

女士礼服分为小号、中号和大号。

· garment：表示“（一件）衣服，尤用于衣服生产和销售的领域”（A garment is a piece of clothing; used especially in contexts where you are talking about the manufacture or sale of clothes.）如：woollen garments 毛衣，winter/outer garments 冬装/外衣，举个🌰：

Many of the garments have the customers' name tags sewn into the linings.

这些衣服中很多都把顾客的姓名牌缝进衬里中。

表示“提及伤心敏感的话题；碰到痛处；触到痛处”，英文解释为“to upset someone”举个🌰：

She touched a raw nerve when she mentioned that job he didn't get.

她提到那份他没有得到的工作，触到了他的痛处。

表示“骚动；怨愤”，英文解释为“a situation in which there is a lot of public criticism and angry argument about sth that sb has said or done”举个🌰：

The article caused (an) uproar.

这篇文章引起了轩然大波。

arcane /ɑːˈkeɪn/ 表示“神秘的；秘密的；晦涩难解的”，英文解释为“mysterious and known only by a few people”举个🌰：

This argument may seem arcane to those not closely involved in the world of finance.

对于那些不谙金融界事务的人而言，这种观点如同天书。

此处指的是日本女性抗议被迫穿高跟鞋所发起的#KuToo活动中KuToo一词具有三重含义，即“三关”，1）仿造了#MeToo的构词；2）Ku取自日语中“靴”的发音kutsu；3）日语中“苦痛”的发音kutsuu同样包含了ku.

pun本身即为“双关语，双关”的含义。A pun is a clever and amusing use of a word or phrase with two meanings, or of words with the same sound but different meanings.

所以这里想表达“三关”用的是“a triple pun”，而在先前日本女性抗议被迫穿高跟鞋的这篇Medium文章中用的是：a triple-wordplay. wordplay表示“文字游戏”，英文解释为“Wordplay involves making jokes by using the meanings of words in an amusing or clever way.”

对比Medium原文：#KuToo — a seriously clever triple-wordplay that combines “MeToo”, “kutsu” (靴, shoes), and the “ku” from “kutsuu” (苦痛), meaning “agony”.

表示“强制执行；委托办理”，英文解释为“to order sb to behave, do sth or vote in a particular way ”举个🌰：

The proposed initiative would mandate a reduction of carbon dioxide of 40%.

这个倡议将把二氧化碳排放量强制降低40%。

作动词，表示“设计；给…造型；（尤指）把…设计得吸引人”，英文解释为“to shape or design something such as a person's hair or an object like a piece of clothing or furniture, especially so that it looks attractive”举个🌰：

This range of jackets is styled to look good whatever the occasion.

这个系列的夹克衫设计巧妙，适合各种场合穿着。

表示“受够了；吃够了苦头”，英文解释为“to have suffered because of someone or something and to be no longer able to bear him, her, or it”举个🌰：

I've had it up to here with you - get out!

我已经受够你了——滚出去！

I've had it with foreign holidays.

我已经厌倦了去国外度假。
