Dilu: 啊,是的,你会说留胡子或者是留头发

John: And in this case it's not that you're leaving it, it's just that you're not cutting it, letting it grow, right?

Dilu: Exactly

John: So if you have a beard it counts as 留胡子,right?

Dilu: 是的,是的,在这里呢,是留了一圈胡子,一圈胡子

John: Now 一圈,圈,1st tone, means a ring?

Dilu: 对,它指的是嘴巴周围的一圈胡子

John: So a circle around his mouth, in other words kind of like a goatee

Dilu: 啊,应该是这样子

John: So this is a weird situation where this measure word is being used to indicate what type of beard it is. It's a goatee

Dilu: 嗯,但我们在中文里面没有,没有一个专门的词语出说这个goatee

John: There's no special word for goatee so you just say

Dilu: 一圈胡子,留了一圈胡子

John: OK and what's the girl's judgment on this guy?
