jolie laide（n.）
"长相违反美丽标准的女孩或女人"，1849年，源自法语表达（1780年前出现在法语中），由 joli "漂亮"（见 jolly) + laid "丑陋"组成，源自法兰克人的 *laid（见 loath（形容词））。
Of beauty, as we narrowly understand it in England, [the 18c. French woman of society] had but little; but she possessed so many other witcheries that her habitual want of features and complexion ceased to count against her. Expression redeemed the absence of prettiness and the designation jolie laide was invented for her in order to express her power of pleasing despite her ugliness. ["The Decadence of French Women," Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, October 1881]
在英格兰，我们狭义地理解美丽，[18世纪的法国社交女性] 的美貌很少； 但她拥有许多其他的魅力，以至于她习惯性的缺乏特征和肤色不再成为她的缺点。表情弥补了缺乏美丽的缺陷， jolie laide 这个称号被发明出来，以表达她的吸引力，尽管她很丑。["法国女性的颓废"，《爱丁堡黑木杂志》，1881年10月]
