    Ren showed us a photo of his cousin, and everyone said he was really good-looking.

    逐字任給我們看了他表哥的一張照片,然後每個人都說他真的很好看。

    「good-looking」是英文裡最常用來說一個人「長得好看」的詞,男生女生都能用,講話時特別常聽到。它比 beautiful 平實一點,也比 gorgeous 冷靜一點,就是「看起來很順眼、很好看」的意思;handsome 多半用在男生,pretty 多半用在女生,good-looking 則是誰都能用的那一個。可以想成 good(好)+ looking(看起來)合起來——別人看過去覺得好看,講的只有外表,不包含個性;也因為「good」在裡面,比較級要說 better-looking。
