<注释>Complected has a long history in American folk speech, showing up, for example, in 80' in the journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition: .[The Indians] are . . . reather lighter complected . . . than the Indians of the Missouri. (Meriwether Lewis).Complected has long been treated as a dialectal term in dictionaries, but it actually should be regarded as informal Standard English,since its wide distribution (including New England, the Midwest, the South, and elsewhere)disqualifies it as a true regionalism.Its use by one western Texas informant quoted inDARE extends its semantic domain beyond skin color to general appearance: .a fat-complected man..
Complected 在美国民间传说中有一段很长的历史, 例如,80'年,在路易斯和克拉克的探险旅行中: . …相对密苏里印第安人的脸色白皙一些. (玛丽维瑟尔·路易斯)。Complected 这个词长期以来在字典中一直被当作方言看待, 但是它实际上应该算作非正式标准英语,它的使用是如此广泛(包括新英格兰、中西部、南方和其它地区),所以它不是地区性的。据一位得克萨斯州西部的提供消息者在DARE 中所引用的用法已延伸了其语义上的范围,即从专指肤色到指整体形象: .一个肥胖男人.
