【绝望的主妇】“风景如画”原来可以这样用英语表达……

【句子】There you go. Pretty as a picture.  【Desperate Housewives S02E09】【发音】/ðeə(r)/ /juː/ /ɡəʊ/ /ˈprɪt.i/ /æz/ /ə/ /ˈpɪk.tʃə(r)/【发音技巧】Pretty闪音；as a连读；【翻译】好啦！真漂亮！【适用场合】今天我们来一起学习一下(as) pretty as a picture的用法，这个短语的字面意思是：“跟画一样漂亮”；这是一种明喻simile的修辞手法，相当于very pretty用来形容某个人或者某个东西非常漂亮，就像画出来的一样让人赏心悦目。但是这种说法会稍微有点点过时，这点值得留意。eg: She looked as pretty as a picture in her wedding dress.她穿着婚纱，美得就像画中人一样。 eg: Their new house is pretty as a picture.他们的新房子很漂亮。 eg: The village in the valley is as pretty as a picture.山谷中的那个村庄风景美如画。 eg: Your garden is absolutely pretty as a picture in the springtime.你的花园在春日时光里真是美如画。 eg: The girls Alex dates are always pretty as a picture, but don't have much going on between their ears.亚历克斯交往的女孩们个个都美如天仙，只可惜都没什么头脑。 【请翻译以下句子，并留言在文章留言区】湖边的那个小村舍看起来风景如画。（cottage）
