🔑 blondeBrE /blɒnd/ 🔊NAmE /blɑːnd/ 🔊 adjective (also blond) HELP In British English it is usual to spell this word blonde when writing about a woman or girl and blond when writing about a man or boy, although the spelling blonde is sometimes used for men and boys too. In American English the spelling blond is often preferred for either sex. Blonde may be used to describe a woman's hair, but it is sometimes considered offensive to refer to a woman as 'a blonde' because hair colour should not define what a person is like. 英式英语中通常用 blonde 描述女性,blond 描述男性,不过,blonde 有时也用于男性。美式英语中描述男女都倾向于用 blond。blonde 可用以描述女性的头发,但用 a blonde 来指代女性有时被认为是不礼貌的,因为头发颜色并不代表整个人。🔑 (of hair 头发) pale gold in colour 金黄色的🔑 (of a person ) having blonde hair 头发金黄的a small, blond boy一个金发小男孩
