撞衫

  By

英文：wear the same kind of dress/clothes/clothing with someone (v.)

說明：這個流行語亦可用 to dress in the same style and color 來表示。網路上流傳「撞衫」的英文是 clash with an outfit，非也！這是以訛傳訛的說法。clash with an outfit 的意思是「衣服不搭配」。同樣地，英文還有 outfit clash 的說法，但這一用語的意思也是「衣服不搭配」，不是「撞衫」，如 Outfit clashes are taboo to celebs. (名流忌諱穿衣服不搭配)。

例句：

  • When Julia Roberts was walking on the red carpet, she found she happened to wear the same kind of dress with Scarlett Johansson. (茱莉亞羅勃茲走紅地毯時發現她與史嘉蕾喬韓森撞衫了)
  • At the award-giving party, the two supermodels happened to be dressed in the same style and color. (在頒獎晚會上，這兩位超模撞衫了)。
