“Tough girl” was one of the ten most popular Internet buzzwords of 2013. Then how did “tough girl” become so popular？ Whats the meaning of it？ Whats the difference between a tough girl and other girls？

“女漢子”一詞是2013中國網(wǎng)絡十大熱詞之一。那么“女漢子”這一詞是如何變得如此流行的呢？它的定義是什么？女漢子和其他女孩子的區(qū)別在哪兒？

In August 2013， photos of Julia Vins， a 17-year-old bodybuilder in Russia， became a hit online because of the strong contrast between her angelic1 face and muscled body.

2013年八月，俄羅斯17歲健美愛好者茱莉亞·文斯的照片在網(wǎng)上走紅。她的天使面孔和強健肌肉形成了鮮明對比。

Chinese actress Ma Su said on her weibo， “I would rather be a tough girl making friends with men than stay with scheming2 women，” which was forwarded more than 15，000 times on weibo.

中國女演員馬蘇在微博上寫道：“寧愿在男人堆里做個女漢子也不愿在女人堆里玩兒腦子?！边@條微博被轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)超過1.5萬次。

There is a joke on the Internet that people are divided into three groups： men， women and “tough girl”. According to Urban Dictionary， “tough girl” refers to a girl who is strong-minded， independent， and capable of3 fighting for herself. This term has become broadly used to describe women who are too independent and behave like a man.

網(wǎng)上有一則笑話說，人分為三種：男人、女人和女漢子。根據(jù)都市詞典（國外專供網(wǎng)友來發(fā)表對一些特殊的單詞或短語的解釋的網(wǎng)站）的定義，女漢子指代那些堅強、獨立、勇于為自己奮戰(zhàn)的女孩。這一詞現(xiàn)廣泛用來描述那些太過獨立且行為舉止像男性的女性。
