　　Metrosexual 都市型男

　　Neil: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I’m Neil.

　　Jean: And I’m Jean. Hello!

　　Neil: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

　　Jean: 英语是一种十分程式化的语言，所以了解现实生活中人们经常使用的固定表达 和俚语自然就很有用了。

　　Neil: Today’s word is metrosexual.

　　Jean: It's a new one on me, what does metrosexual mean?

　　Neil: Metrosexual refers to men who have a strong concern for their appearance, they look after their hair and skin well, buy expensive clothes and look very fashionable.

　　Jean: 原来这个所谓的metrosexual代表的就是那种在大都市中的现代男性，非常在 意自己的形象，注意保养皮肤和头发 skin and hair，也紧跟时尚潮流，总会身穿最时尚的时装款式，手提最新款的手机、Ipod之类的都市新男性，所以我们可能会俗称这样的人群为“都市美男”或者“ 都市型男”。But why metrosexual?

　　Neil: Because these men live in cities where all the best shops are, they live in metropolitan areas. So the word metrosexual comes from metropolitan.
