后来用“沉鱼落雁”形容女子容貌极美。

Fish sinking and birds alighting, a description of the stunning beauty of a woman.

围绕埃及艳后和安东尼一直存在诸多谜团，如他们如何自杀、死后是否合葬、以及艳后是否真的沉鱼落雁等。考古队希望发掘工作能揭开谜团。

The excavation is expected to unravel a number of questions that have lingered over the couple, including whether they were buried together, Cleopatra's reputed beauty and their suicide.

“最近的调查显示，如果一名女性长得沉鱼落雁闭月羞花，那么这名女性可能主要依靠外貌来判断生活情况，也可能以此来衡量自己是否快乐，”他说。

"More recently the research is showing that if you are a woman and you are pretty, beauty matters more to how women feel about life and how happy they are," he said.
