2--Do you see that couple over there?
 
1--Yeah, it looks like they are going into that new restaurant. They look great!
 
2--Oh, yeah! They are dressed to kill.
 
1--In American English, "dressed to kill!" is a different way of saying "dressed very attractively" or "dressed to impress."
 
2--This phrase came from criminals...
 
1--In the past, people who were professional criminals often dressed in fancy clothing to hide the fact that they were doing horrible things.
 
2--So, if you were "dressed to kill" back then, you would be wearing a pretty nice looking outfit.

===================================
譯文：

1--您聽過某人說“dressed to kill（穿好衣服去殺人）”么？別擔(dān)心，沒有什么危險——而恰恰相反。
2--你看見那邊那對夫婦了么？
1--是的，他們好像是要去那家新餐廳。他們看起來漂亮極了！
2--哦，是的！他們穿得好看極了！（ dress to kill）
1--在美語中，“dress to kill”（穿得美極了）是“dressed very attractively”和“dressed to impress”另外一種說法。
2--這個短語來源于犯罪分子……
1--過去，專業(yè)的罪犯總是穿著光鮮亮麗的衣服，用以掩蓋他們在做壞事。
2--所以，在過去如果你是“dressed to kill”（準(zhǔn)備實施犯罪活動），你應(yīng)該穿上非常漂亮的套裝。
