'Look a fright' có từ 'fright' = xấu xí kinh khủng, người ăn mặc xấu xí -> những người trông xấu xí, nhếch nhác hoặc vẻ ngoài không gọn gàng
Ví dụ
Hannah Murray: I look a fright in Game of Thrones ... but fans still recognise (nhận ra) me. Game of Thrones star Hannah Murray says she is surprised so many fans recognise her from the show - as she hopes she looks a lot better in real life.
11 a.m.: Hair and makeup (trang điểm). I look a fright. I don’t have time to fix it. My makeup girl helps stuff me into my dress, and Rodney and I are out the door at noon. We meet the rest of our party at the W Hotel and head to the theater at 1:30.
The downside of the ‘cover-up’ was that it gave me an inferiority complex (phức cảm tự ti), a disbelief when someone complimented (khen ngợi) me on my looks. As a teenager I had a phrase stuck to my headboard: ‘From far away I look alright, but close-up, I look a fright’.
On Halloween night, children embrace their quirks — their not-normals. They dress in ridiculous costumes (trang phục buồn cười, kì cục), make themselves look a fright or as silly (ngớ ngẩn) as is humanly possible. They don’t care how their costumes look to others. No matter what they’ve chosen to be — whether a slinky cat or an inflated dinosaur—they fully embrace it. They know what the holiday is about. Halloween, of course, is about letting go.
