Communication and gender

NEW AGER:

Have you ever seen one of those nature shows where you see males fighting in order to gain the upper hand or more simply gain a mate? , and where the female of the species is looking after the young? While many would acknowledge that every person is different, some suggest that this basic pattern seems to carry over into the human species. Men would compete against each other to win the women, and compete against nature to win their dinner. For men, winning meant staying alive.

Young Guys Dating Older Chicks

I was just looking at some pictures of Demi Moore on Google images.  She just turned 50!   When she was  young, she was arguably one of the hottest or best looking actresses in Hollywood.  

What's your opinion?

According to Britain, this 18-year-old girl named Florence Colgate has the UK's most beautiful face as she won a "Britain's Most Naturally Beautiful Face" contest recently. What do you think?

Tough Call

In English, if something is a “tough call” it means it’s difficult or impossible to know what is the correct answer or opinion.
Some examples will help make this more clear: “I’m really not sure who is the better tennis player between Federer and Nadal.  It’s a tough call“.

“He still loves his wife but they have a lot of problems.  He’s not sure if they should stay together or get a divorce. It’s a really tough call.”

“Those two girls are both really hot.  I’m not sure who I think is better looking. It’s a tough call“.   I hope that helps!

Oxymoron

«Оксюморон»  - с древнегреческого - «умная глупость».
Разумеется, такие словосочетания, есть и в русском языке.
Например, «звенящая тишина». Вообще-то тишина предполагает полное отсутствие каких-либо звуков.  Как тогда она может звенеть? :)
Или вот ещё:  «страшно красивая»,  «красноречивое молчание»…
Теперь давайте посмотрим, как выглядят «противоречивые» словосочетания в английском:

1. Found missing - найден недостающим, отсутствующим, пропавшим
