The word is literary and a bit old-fashioned; you meet it in novels and formal descriptions, not in the playground. Though actually, it is not an insult by itself — older writing often treats an aquiline nose as strong or distinguished — but any talk about the shape of a nose can feel personal, so it is a word to use with care, and never as a joke about someone’s face.
The word is literary and a bit old-fashioned這個字帶有文學味,也有點老派 you meet it in novels and formal descriptions你會在小說和正式的描述裡遇到它 not in the playground而不是操場上會用的字 Though actually不過事實上 it is not an insult by itself它本身並不是個侮辱 older writing often treats an aquiline nose as strong or distinguished較早期的文章常把aquiline nose當作剛毅或出眾的象徵 but any talk about the shape of a nose can feel personal但談論一個人鼻子的形狀總可能讓人覺得被冒犯 so it is a word to use with care所以這是個要小心使用的字 and never as a joke about someone's face絕對不要拿來開別人長相的玩笑
In theory it can mean “like an eagle” more widely, but in real English you will almost only see it next to nose. It has nothing to do with water, even though it looks as if it starts with aqua-.
