在英语里，“邻家女孩”的表述就是很直白的girl next door。或者，“邻家女孩”这个表述就是从英文里翻译过来的？

 

Every guy may have his specific girl-next-door prototype, but in general, girl next door is cute and sweet, usually makes a really great friend, she may be very attractive, and is modest about it.

每个男人大概对“邻家女孩”都有自己特定的形象记忆，不过，总体来说，邻家女孩就是甜美可爱的姑娘，她们可以跟你成为很好的朋友，长相出众却不张扬。

 

Picture your sister's best friend from when you were kids. In your mind she'll always be that 10-year-old cutie who played with you in the park. Only, when you catch up with her 10 years later, she's still a cutie, but all grown up and had become someone you can trust and connect with on so many new levels.

比如，从你很小就认识的你姐姐的好朋友。在你心里，她一直都是那个跟你在公园里玩耍的十岁小姑娘。就算到了十年以后，她依旧甜美可爱，并且长成了一个你可以信任、有很多共同话题的大姑娘。

 

Similarly, she could be a friend's cousin whom you met at family occasions over the years. Or even a new employee at work who is shy and unassuming, but still gives you that "she seems so nice, I'd love to talk to her" feeling.

邻家女孩可能是你在某个家庭聚会上碰到的朋友的表妹，或者是公司新来的小姑娘，害羞又低调，但仍然给你那种“这姑娘真可爱，我想跟她说话”的感觉。
