生活中，我们经常会称赞别人或者听到别人的称赞，诸如“你保养得真好/你今天穿得显年轻”之类，很多同学都不知道如何用英文来表达，今天就教大家几个地道的英文表达。
首先，我们这里说的“保养”是指人对皮肤的保养，如果是私家车保养，我们可以用“car maintenance”，或者“in good repair”，当然也可以将“good”省去，但是要注意的是“in repair”表示“状况很好，（用品）保养得好”，而“under repair”则表示“//www.58yuanyou.com在维修”。
如果是形容一个人“原由网不显老、显得年轻、保养得好”，我们可以用“wear”这个小词：She is wearing well. 她今天穿得很年轻/她看着保养得很好。You're wearing well—only a few grey hairs! 你一点儿都不显老，只有几根灰白头发！
其实这个用法跟“磨损、经久耐用”有点异曲同工之妙：The cloth won't原由网 wear. 这种布不耐磨。The sheets have worn thin. 床单已经磨薄了。
wear用做及物动词也可表示此意：Shewears her age/her years well. 当然也可用其他句型，如：She doesn't look his age. 或者，我们也可以用“ageless”：Her beautyappeared ageless.她一直保养得很好，一点都不显老。至于“她穿得笔挺/很好看”可译为：She is well dressed.
wear的基本意思是“穿”、“戴”，比如：
She was wearing a new coat. 她穿了一件新外衣。
Do I have to wear a tie? 我得系领带吗？
She always wears black . 她总是穿黑色衣服www.58yuanyou.com。【注意：“她穿黑色的衣服很好看。”我们一般则会说“She looks good in black.”】
但是wear和中文的“穿”、“戴”还是有所不同，除了衣服鞋帽外，还可以有其他宾语：
His fa原由网ce wore a puzzled look. 他脸上流露出迷惑不解的神情。
He sat there wearing what Terry called his"work face". 他坐在那儿，脸上一副特里称之为“工作相”的样子（一本正经的样子）。

“wear on”表示“慢慢地过去；光阴荏苒”：As the evening wore on, she became more and more nervous. 随着夜色渐深，她越来越紧张。“wearyourself/sb out”表示“精疲力竭”：The kids have totally worn me out. 孩子们简直把我烦透了。You'llwear yourself out if you carry on working so hard. 你要是继续这样拼命工作，身体会吃不消的。
我们说一个人“感情外露、把心事挂在脸上”英文中很形象地表示为“wear your heart on your sleeve”；我们可以用“wear thin”表示“变得兴趣索然”：Theseexcuses are wearing a little thin. 这些托辞让人听得有点儿腻烦。
最后，教大家一个谚语的翻译：有则改之，无则加勉。If the shoe fits, wear it.
