all that 外貌完美无瑕的(人)
A: She's not all that. I don't even find her attractive.
A: 她并不是真的那么美啊! 我甚至不觉得她有什么吸引人的地方。
B: She likes to think she is.
B: 她觉得她自己是(长得完美无瑕)啊!
- 以前有一部美国电影叫作"She's All That"。英文片名的直译其实就是「她长得完美无瑕」的意思。

sell-out 出卖人家的人
A: I can't believe Dan, the person I trusted so much turned out to be a complete sell-out.
A: 我无法相信 Dan, 这个我曾经这么信任的人竟然是个出卖我的人。
B: Man, I don't even know what to say. He really blew me away, too.
B: 唉, 我都不知道该说什么才好。 他也真是让我始料未及。
- 这里的"sell-out"是"selling a person out"的名词, 可以指「出卖人家的人」或是「出卖人的行为」。
上面的对话里, 还有另外一个我们之前也有看过的词语是"blow one away" (blew one away 的原在式)。
这里的"blow one away"应该可以翻作我们口语里面讲的「被打败的感觉」。
因为没有想到过对方会是那样子的人, 当事情发生了才有一种「怎么可能!」的震撼和惊讶。
其实"blow one away"也可以说是形容某人的表现太过优异, 令人在佩服之外感到十分的震撼。
Even one yuan is all right.
