词或主语+have/has+名词两种方式回答。

描述人长相好看的词语还有很多，如：
good-looking、beautiful等。但是good-Looking
与beautiful 的用法是有区别的：

5. 多个形容词修饰名词时
其顺序为:
限定词--数词--描绘词--(大小, 长短, 形状，
新旧, 颜色)--出处--材料性质, 类别--名词   
a small round table  
a tall gray building  
a dirty old brown shirt 
a famous German medical school
an expensive Japanese sports car
一般与被修饰形容词关系密切的形容词靠近
名词; 如果几个形容词的重要性差不多, 音节
少的形容词在前, 音节多的方在后, 在不能确定
时, 可参照下表：限定词+数量词(序数词在前, 基数词在后)
+性状形容词+大小、长短、高低等形体+名词
如: those + three + beautiful + large + square  新旧+颜色+国籍+材料+名词
如: old + brown + wood + table
6. He isn’t tall or short.
他不高也不矮。
英语中在受到否定概念限定的部分一般不用and，
