Your dress is loud什么意思？a checked coat的意思肯定想不到！

今天阡陌姐姐穿了一个平时上班不会穿的裙子去逛街，见到了闺蜜，她上来来了一句“Your dress is loud”，突然没反应过来，感觉是在说我很吵？？？裙子怎么就和loud搭上关系呢？那这句话到底什么意思呢？今天就跟阡陌姐姐一起来学习一下一些关于衣服的英语口语小知识吧！cloth/clothes/clothing
大家都知道clothes是衣服的统称，是复数形式，但cloth是clothes的单数吗？clothing又是什么意思呢？我们就好好区分一下cloth、clothes、clothing三个词吧！
cloth指的是布料，是不可数名词，所以要说a piece of cloth。但如果cloth是指有某种特殊用途的布，又变成了可数名词，比如桌布a table cloth。而clothes就是指衣服的统称，本身已经是复数。
clothing也是衣服的统称，但却是不可数名词。clothing比clothes更抽象，也更正式。food and clothing是一个习惯搭配，意思是衣食。Your dress is loud.
我们都知道loud意思是大声的、吵闹的，是形容声音。但怎么就用loud来形容裙子了呢？
当用loud形容衣服时，意思是俗艳的、花哨的，loud = too bright or have too many bright patterns，相当于garish、gaudy。
loud除了可以形容衣服以外，还可以用来形容人，这时loud = someone who is loud talks too loudly and confidently，意思是招摇的、咋呼的。

例句：

Don't wear that red and green checked coat on your date. It's too loud。

别穿那大红大绿的格子衣服去约会。太俗了。

Every time Tom gets drunk, he gets really loud.

Tom每次一喝酒，就真的特招摇。

a checked coat
a checked coat可不是检查过的衣服，这里的checked是一个形容词，意思是方格子图案的。所以a checked coat表示一个方格子外套，和检查没关系哦！就是程序员小哥哥最爱穿的衣服之一。

例句：

Yesterday I bought a dress with a big yellow and blue checked pattern.

我昨天买了一条黄色和蓝色的大格子裙子。

a checked coat是件衣服，和检查无关，但check your coat也不一定是检查衣服哦！

在入住酒店之类的地方，服务生可能会对你说:"You can check your coat at the door"。服务员的意思是你可以把外套寄存在门口，这里check是寄存的意思。

例句：

Excuse me, where should I check my luggage?

您好，我该去哪里托运行李啊？

lose one's shirt
lose one's shirt可不是丢了件衬衫，真正意思要比丢件衣服严重多了。lose one's shirt的确切意思是失去一切，破产，也就是中文里常说一无所有。赌博的人会形容输到没有裤子，而英文里失去一切就是穷到没有shirt。所以，当一个老外跟你说"I may lose my shirt."，千万不要想着再买一件衬衫给他就好了。

例句：

In a business like this you can make a lot of money, but you can also lose your shirt.

做这样一笔生意，你可能赚很多，有可能破产。
