The Wilton (Connecticut) Bulletin

Did You Know?

Although

comely

is now typically used to describe the appearance of human beings, it was once used more broadly of other appealing things, such as fine clothing。

Comely

can be traced back to Old English words variously meaning “glorious,” “lively,” or “fine。” If you are looking to pretty up your prose or poetry with additional words meaning “beautiful,” English is well-supplied with them。 Aside from

beautiful

itself, we have

lovely

handsome

pretty

fair

good-looking

gorgeous

ravishing

, and even

well-favored

儘管現在通常用comely來形容人類的外表,但它曾經被廣泛地用於其他吸引人的事物,例如精美的衣服。 Comely 可以追溯到古英語單詞,其含義多種多樣,分別表示“glorious「光榮」”,“lively「生動」”或“fine「精美」”。 如果您想用更多意味“beautiful「美麗」”的單詞來修飾您的散文或詩歌,英語是很好的補充。 除了美麗本身,我們還有lovely「可愛」,handsome「英俊」,pretty「漂亮」,fair「美麗」,goodlooking「漂亮」,gorgeous「漂亮」,ravising「迷人」,甚至well-favored「受歡迎的人」。
