“黑黝黝的”在英语中可根据具体语境选择不同词汇，最常用的是形容词 swarthy，专指自然形成的深色皮肤，音标为 /ˈswɒːði/（英式）或 /ˈswɔːrði/（美式）。它的核心含义是“（肤色）黝黑的”，与 dark-skinned、dusky 等词为同义词。例如：“She has a swarthy complexion.”（她的肤色黝黑）。
black
多义形容词，可表示“黑色的”“深色的”，但形容肤色时需注意语境，避免种族暗示。

短语 pitch black 强调“漆黑一片”，如“The room was pitch black after the power outage.”（停电后房间里漆黑一片）。
dark
泛指“深色的”，可修饰肤色、头发等。
例：“Many people in the West grow up with the idea that dark skin is a sign of beauty.”（西方许多人认为深色皮肤是美的象征）
作名词时，the dark 指“黑暗环境”，如“I used to be afraid of the dark.”（我以前怕黑）。
