1. 1(英式舊時口語)大美人、大帥哥;超棒的東西

    A smasher is a person who is good-looking, or a thing that is wonderful. It is warm, old-fashioned British slang — the kind of thing a grandmother says about a photograph: 'Oh, isn't she a smasher!' You will hear it mostly from older speakers in Britain and Ireland, and it is now quite rare among young people, so it can sound dated.

    A smasher smasher is a person是指一個人 who is strikingly good-looking長得非常好看, or a thing that is wonderful或是一個很棒的東西。It is它是 warm, old-fashioned British slang溫暖、老派的英式俚語 — the kind of thing a grandmother says就是阿嬤看到照片會說的那種話 about a photograph: 'Oh, isn't she a smasher!'「喔,她真是個smasher!」You will hear it你最常會聽到 mostly from older speakers in Britain and Ireland是英國和愛爾蘭年紀比較大的人在講, and it is now quite rare而且現在年輕人已經很少用 among young people, so it can sound charmingly dated所以聽起來會帶著一種討喜的老派感。

    It is always a compliment and never rude. The word is used with a/an: he's a smasher, that's a smasher of a car.

    It is它 always a compliment永遠是稱讚, and never rude絕對不會是無禮的話。The word這個字 is used with a/an用的時候會加a/an: he's a smasher像he's a smasher, that's a smasher of a car或that's a smasher of a car。

    When it describes a thing it just means excellent — 'the party was a smasher.' Because it feels old, it is a word to recognise in books, films and songs rather than one to reach for yourself.

    When it describes a thing用來形容東西的時候, it just means excellent它就是「超棒」的意思 — 'the party was a smasher'像'the party was a smasher'。Because it feels old因為它聽起來很老派, it is它是 a word to recognise in books, films and songs一個在書、電影、歌曲裡認得就好的字, rather than one to reach for yourself而不是你自己該拿來用的字。
