wear的基本意思是“穿”、“戴”,所以将wear well译成“穿得笔挺”似乎理所当然。但是wear和中文的“穿”、“戴”还是有所不同,除了衣服鞋帽外,还可以有其他宾语(wear不能译成“穿”、“戴”):

当然wear也可以是不及物动词,意为“磨损”或“经久耐用”,如:The cloth won’t wear.(这种布不耐磨。)原句中的wear well应作“不显老”、“显得年轻”讲,所以应译成:史密斯先生一点也不显老/保养得很好。不过wear用做及物动词也可表示此意:Mr.Smith wears his age/his years well.当然也可用其他句型,如:Mr.Smith doesn’t look his age.(Mr.Smith looks younger than his real age.则太直,不是最佳选择。)至于“史密斯先生穿得笔挺”可译为:Mr.Smith is well dressed.
