YL: JESSICA，你发现没有，现在有一种男人，皮肤比女人还好，比女人还爱打扮，穿得特时髦，都跟从偶像剧里走出来似的。我们叫他们“花美男”，flower-pretty-man! 呵呵，我瞎翻的，美语中不会也有类似的称呼吧？
JESSICA: Actually, there IS an English equivalence. It's "metrosexual" m-e-t-r-o-s-e-x-u-a-l, metrosexual.
YL: metro-- "大城市"，加上 sexual-- "性别的"。那 metrosexual 跟中文里说的“花美男”指的是一种人吗？
Jessica: Well, Metrosexual men live in big cities, know all the trendy places in town and pay great attention to their appearances.
YL: 没错! 花美男就是住在大城市里的时尚达人，特别注重外表和打扮！要这么说，花美男就是 metrosexual man!
JESSICA: I guess being a metrosexual man means you're doing your homework on the latest trends. You need to be up-to-date on the hottest fashion!
YL: up-to-date on the hottest fashion? fashion是时尚的意思，up-to-date是跟上潮流，所以，up-to-date on the hottest fashion 就是“紧跟最新时尚”吧？
JESSICA: That's right! But Yanglin, I would say the real fashionable people are not those who follow the trends, but the trend setters!
YL: trend setters? t-r-e-n-d, trend 是趋势的意思，setter, s-e-t-t-e-r 是设定者，所以 trend setter 就是开创时尚的真正潮人!
JESSICA: 没错! Now let's see what you've learned today!
YL: 第一，注重打扮的“花美男”是 metrosexual men；
第二，紧跟流行时尚是 be up-to-date on the hottest fashion；
第三，领导时尚的潮人叫 trend setter!
