人民日報網報道，俄羅斯17歲健美愛好者Julia Vins的照片近日在網上走紅。她的天使麵孔和強健肌肉形成了鮮明對比。

“女漢子”用英語該怎麽表達呢?
很多人都認為"tomboy"和“女漢子”的英文表達接近，"A girl considered boyish or masculine in behavior or manner."即“男人婆、假小子”的意思。但隨著英語語言發展，tomboy的含義在不斷延伸，有種說法是它代表le*****ian中的T, 所以為了避免歧義，還是盡量少用為妙吧。

其實我們所說的“女漢子”，就是網上流傳的“膽大藝高真性情，開朗直爽有氣場”的女孩。這類姑娘可以用tough girl來表示，要是還想再貼切一點，也可以用cowgirl一詞來表達。想想電影裏的女牛仔騎著駿馬在西部原野上馳騁，還真有些“女漢子”的味道呢!
除了“女漢子”，其他類型的女生也有各自的稱謂，如“軟妹子”就可以說成是"girly girl"、時尚禦姐則是"fashionista", 還有一種是"valley girl"——腦殘女。

當這四類女生遇到一起時，從她們說話的方式上就能分辨出來：
Seeing a handsome guy:
當看到帥哥時：
Girly girl: OMG he's so handsome!
萌妹子：天啊，好帥啊!

Valley girl: Wow, like I haven't seen such a handsome guy for, like, a million years!
腦殘女：哇!我上次見這麽帥的人怎麽著也是100萬年前了吧!
Fashionista: Is that a Prada suit?
時尚禦姐：那件西服是普拉達的吧?

Tough girl: That dude looks freaking awesome! Dibs!
女漢子：那哥們兒太他妹的帥了!歸我了!
