- 1女泰斗；女性元老
A doyenne is the oldest, most respected, or most experienced woman in a group — the female match of doyen. You meet it in writing about the arts, fashion, food, science, and public life: the doyenne of a newspaper, of a dance world, of a research lab.
A doyenne一位doyenne is the oldest, most respected, or most experienced woman is一個團體裡最資深、最受尊敬或最有經驗的女性 in a group——the female match of doyen是doyen的女性對應詞. You你 meet it會在 in writing about the arts, fashion, food, science, and public life關於藝文、時尚、美食、科學和公眾生活的寫作裡遇到它: the doyenne of a newspaper一家報社的doyenne, of a dance world舞蹈界的, of a research lab研究室的.
Like doyen, it is French in English, so it sounds formal and rather than everyday.
Like doyen就像doyen一樣, it它 is French in English是英文裡的法文詞, so所以 it它 sounds formal and admiring rather than everyday聽起來正式、帶著敬意，而不是日常用語.
Though actually, English is a bit messy here: some people still keep doyenne for women and doyen for men; others use doyen for everyone and let doyenne feel old-fashioned. Either way, it is about being the senior woman of that circle, not about being someone's wife or assistant.
Though actually不過其實, English英文 is a bit messy here在這裡有點亂: some people有些人 still keep doyenne for women and doyen for men還是把doyenne留給女性、doyen留給男性; others其他人 use doyen for everyone把doyen用在所有人身上 and let doyenne feel old-fashioned讓doyenne顯得過時. Either way不管怎樣, it它 is about being the senior woman of that circle講的是那個圈子裡最資深的女性, not about being someone's wife or assistant而不是某人的太太或助理.
