近年来,“人设崩塌”这个词常常被大众提及。隔段时间就有消息报道某些公众人物的人设崩塌了,比如有的丑闻被曝光,光辉形象黯然失色。
它是啥意思呢?
人设崩塌,一般指人物形象没有扮演好,多指经纪人给明星设定公众形象不到位。另一方面就是指某人的形象因为某件事情而声名俱毁。
因此,总的来讲,“人设崩塌”说的就是,某人的形象前后不一致、不统一。
我们可以通过相关英文短语/词组表达出“人设崩塌”的意思。
1. 用“违反”表达
fly in the face of 完全违反
指与正常所见完全不同(to completely oppose what seems normal)
Recent scandals fly in the face of Axlendar's "good man" public image.
最近的绯闻让亚历山大的“好男人”人设崩塌了。
如果从“相反”的意思上出发, 我们还可以把上面的fly in the face of替换成
go against 违反
上面的例句就可以改写成:
Recent scandals go against Axlendar's "good man" public image.
2. 用on the one hand ... on the other hand句式表达变化
on the one hand ... on the other hand意为“一方面……另一方面”,表示相反的状况(comparing two different facts)。
On the one hand James engaged in public displays of affection to show off his so called happy marriage, but on the other hand he was dating a hot model. What a hypocrite!
一方面詹姆斯公开秀恩爱,炫耀其所谓的幸福婚姻,另一方面,他还在和一名辣模约会。真是个伪君子!
第1种表达比第2种直接,不过第2种能展示出变化前后的区别。
3. 用“不一致;表里不一”表达
inconsistency n. 不一致;矛盾
The so-called Prince Charming turned out to be a villain and the people could hardly accept his inconsistency.
那个所谓的白马王子竟然是个坏蛋,人们都很难接受他的表里不一。
(not) correspond with 与……不一致
