Often used in combination:面部表情很具特色的。常用于复合词中：“A white-haired and ruddy-complected priest stood on the deck of one of the trawlers”(&b{New York Times})“Fewer still could fit the original job description of a raven-haired, smooth-complected, red-lipped innocent”(&b{Los Angeles Times})“一个白头发、脸色红润的牧师站在一只拖网渔船的甲板上”(纽约时报)“没几个人会仍然相信对当初那个黑头发、光皮肤、红嘴唇的幼稚孩童的描述”(洛杉矶时报)语源:1. Back-formation from complection 源自 complection的逆构词 2. variant of complexion complexion的变体注释:Complected has a long history in American folk speech, showing up, for example, in 1806 in the journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition: “[The Indians] are . . . reather lighter complected . . . than the Indians of the Missouri” (Meriwether Lewis).Complected has long been treated as a dialectal term in dictionaries, but it actually should be regarded as informal Standard English,since its wide distribution (including New England, the Midwest, the South, and elsewhere)disqualifies it as a true regionalism.Its use by one western Texas informant quoted inDARE extends its semantic domain beyond skin color to general appearance: “a fat-complected man.” Complected 在美国民间传说中有一段很长的历史， 例如，1806年，在路易斯和克拉克的探险旅行中： “ …相对密苏里印第安人的脸色白皙一些” （玛丽维瑟尔·路易斯）。Complected 这个词长期以来在字典中一直被当作方言看待， 但是它实际上应该算作非正式标准英语，它的使用是如此广泛(包括新英格兰、中西部、南方和其它地区），所以它不是地区性的。据一位得克萨斯州西部的提供消息者在DARE 中所引用的用法已延伸了其语义上的范围，即从专指肤色到指整体形象： “一个肥胖男人” |
