篇一：英语作文对人物外表描写
对人物外表描写。同时，肖像的描写并不是一次性的，注意人物经过时间的推移、环境的变迁，或与人接触后，其外貌可能发生的转变。
例文1
Robert is 21 years old. He is about 5 feet ,9 inches tall . His face is long and narrow . His eyes are green. His hair is light brown. He doesn't look very Italian. He smiles a little and usually has a friendly look on his face . He isn't fat and he isn't thin. His build is average.
译文
罗伯特21岁了，他身高大约5.9英尺，脸瘦瘦长长的，绿眼睛。浅棕色的头发，看起来不大像意大利人。他总是面带微笑，非常友好。他不胖也不瘦，中等身材。
注释1 当我们描写一个人的体型的时候，我们也可以分为以下两个部分：
(1) 体格（build）:
fat 肥胖的; thin 瘦的; slim 苗条的; overweight 超重; slight 瘦小的; well-built身材魁梧。
A. She is a slim girl, while her boyfriend is well-built.

medium height 中等身材; average height 一般身材; below average 低于平均身高; tall 高的; short 矮的; tallish 有些高的; middle-sized 身高中等的; of medium height 中等身材; 1.78 meters 身高1.78米.
A. He used to be middle-sized, but when he is getting old , he is becomeing short.
他原本是中等身材，但随着年龄的增长，她变矮了。
注释2 在描写面部容貌的时候，可以从脸型、头发、五官入手。
1. 脸型（face）:
round 圆的; thin 瘦的; long 长的; square 方的。
A. She eats too much these days , so her face is getting round .

tooth 牙齿; even 整齐的; uneven 不整齐的; chin下巴。
A. When he laughs, we see his even teeth.
当他笑的时候，我们看见他有一口整齐的牙齿。
B. She has a double chin.
她有双下巴。
注释3 一个人的服饰也是外貌的重要组成部分，所以对服饰的描写也很重要。
服饰（dress）:
smart 潇洒的; scruffy 邋遢的； well-dressed 衣着华丽的; casual 随便的; conservative 不显眼的`; elegant 优雅的; fashionable 时髦的; suave 文雅的; untidy 不整洁的.

注释4. 另外，人的神情也能体现一个人的形象。

C. She is charming when she smiles.
她笑起来的时候很可爱。
注释5. 常见的系动词有:
appear, be, become, feel, get, go, grow, look, prove, remain, seem, sound, taste, turn, etc.
在实际的写作过程中，根据自己的需要选择合适的动词，会令文章更为生动。如：
A. The advertisement sounds interesting.
这个广告听起来很有趣。
B. Human rights are a major concern in today's world.
人权是当今世界关注的主要问题。
C. The result of the experiment is very encouraging.

Dear Peter,

In my mind, she is interested in travelling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Besides, it would be better for her to have a pet dog. With such a pen friend, I hope I can share with her our experiences in travelling, taking care of pets, or whatever we have in common.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
