词组 | brunet, brunette |
释义 | brunet, brunette It would be nice to be able to say that these words are used in a way exactly parallel to blond and blonde (which see). Such, however, is not the case. These words are much less frequently used than blond and blonde, and our evidence shows that both spellings are almost exclusively applied to females. The only apparent difference between the spellings is that brunet is used somewhat more frequently as an adjective than as a noun and brunette somewhat more frequently as a noun. • ... tucked her blond locks under a series of brunet wigs —Guy D. Garcia, Time, 18 Mar. 1985 • The voluptuous brunette in a satin robe is being chased around her boudoir —John Stark, People, 5 Nov. 1984 |
