below Explanation: He stopped a Chevrolet with a nice-looking blonde behind the wheel, wearing / sporting a rather revealing blouse. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2007-09-12 21:39:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'd go with 'nice-looking' or 'attractive.' 'Beautiful' seems to strong for me. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2007-09-12 21:40:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- *too strong -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2007-09-12 22:25:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also, I meant to write 'sitting behind the wheel,' but omitted it by accident. |

peer agreement (net): +2A Chevrolet with a beautiful blond behind the wheel Explanation: - -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2007-09-13 01:03:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ah, just noticed that you have your own version. It's fine except the "blouse/shirt" thing, already mentioned by Henry. Also "красивая" = "beautiful", or (better) "pretty". Attractive = "привлекательная", and there is approx the same difference between pretty/beautiful and attractive in English, as between "красивая" и "привлекательная" in Russian. Therefore "attractive" is hardly enough to convey "красивая". |
