Demure
Demure 是一个形容词。形容那种不仅文静而且表现得非常守规矩、不张扬的样子。
- She sat there with a demure expression on her face. (她坐在那里，脸上带着端庄的表情。)
- In the Victorian era, young women were expected to be demure. (在维多利亚时代，年轻女性被要求表现得端庄。)
- He liked her demure charm and quiet voice. (他喜欢她端庄的魅力和安静的声音。)
- 源自法语：meur (成熟/严肃)。
记：de- (加强) + mure (墙)。像墙一样稳重、不乱动，就是“端庄文静”。或者记：De-mure (低-目光)。低着目光不敢看人，害羞端庄。
