Used about a man's face when he has not shaved, so there is short stubbly hair on his chin and cheeks. Notice it is not about having a beard. A man with a full beard is bearded, and he may be very neat; unshaven means the hair is short, uneven, and unplanned — one, two, three days' growth.

Used about用來形容 a man's face男人的臉 when he has not shaved當他沒刮鬍子的時候，so there is所以會有 short stubbly hair短短的鬍渣 on his chin and cheeks在下巴和臉頰上。Notice要注意 it is not about它指的不是 having a beard留鬍子這件事。A man with a full beard留著整齊落腮鬍的男人 is bearded叫做bearded，and he may be very neat而且可能整整齊齊；unshaven而unshaven means指的是 the hair is short, uneven, and unplanned鬍子短短的、參差不齊、沒特別打理——one, two, three days' growth留了一兩三天的鬍渣。

That is why the word so often carries a hint of a story: he was ill, he was travelling, he was up all night, he stopped caring for a while. Writers use it exactly for that: 'a tired, unshaven man in yesterday's shirt' tells you his whole week without saying anything else. It is not always negative, though — fashion changed, and a deliberately unshaven look can read as relaxed or handsome.

That這 is why就是為什麼 the word這個字 so often carries a hint of a story常常帶著一點故事的味道：he was ill他生病了，he was travelling他在旅行，he was up all night他熬了一整夜，he stopped caring for a while他有陣子沒在意自己的樣子。Writers作家 use it exactly for that正是為了這個效果而用它：'a tired, unshaven man in yesterday's shirt'「一個疲憊、滿臉鬍渣、還穿著昨天襯衫的男人」 tells you his whole week不用多說就道盡他這一週 without saying anything else。It它 is not always negative並不總是負面的，though不過——fashion changed流行變了，and a deliberately unshaven look而故意留鬍渣的樣子 can read as relaxed or handsome可以顯得隨性或man。

The tone comes from the sentence around it.

The tone語氣 comes from取決於 the sentence around it周圍那句話怎麼說。

It is a normal, plain word, fine in speech and writing; in casual English people just as often say 'he hadn't shaved' or talk about 'stubble', the noun for those short hairs. English does not use it about women, and only about the face — an unshaven leg is possible but rare; people say 'hairy legs'.

It它 is a normal, plain word是個普通、平實的字，fine in speech and writing口語書面都可以用；in casual English在輕鬆的英文裡 people just as often say人們也常說 'he hadn't shaved'「他沒刮鬍子」 or talk about或說到 'stubble'「stubble」, the noun for those short hairs那些短鬍渣的名詞。English英文 does not use it不會用這個字 about women在女性身上，and only about the face而且只用在臉上——an unshaven leg沒刮毛的腿 is possible but rare雖然可以這樣說但很少見；people say人們會說 'hairy legs'「毛腿」。
