peer agreement (net): -1Some choices . . . Explanation: You could say things like "vespertine belle" or "evening damsel." But, in that, the "evening" becomes an adjective of the "woman." You really do NOT want to say that! These indicate "a woman IN the evening." Instead, you would like to say, "the evening AS a beautiful lady" (which is QUITE different). I am not sure that this can be done as elegantly in English. Perhaps, you could say "Lady Evening" (in the form of "Lady Luck"). Even the whole phrase, the one you wrote, "The Evening as a Beautiful Lady," is quite fine, in my opinion. |
