To be decked out means to be fully dressed up, often with extra accessories, jewelry, or flashy elements. It implies going all out with your appearance — more than what the occasion might require. Can be used admiringly ('She was decked out for the gala') or with slight exaggeration ('Why are you so decked out? We're just going to the store').

Decked out意味着全副武装地打扮起来,通常还配有额外的配饰、珠宝或闪亮的元素。它暗示在外表上全力以赴——可能超出了场合所需。可以用来赞赏('她为晚宴盛装打扮'),也可以带有些许夸张意味('你怎么穿这么隆重?我们只是去个超市')。
Estar decked out significa ir completamente arreglado, a menudo con accesorios extra, joyas o elementos llamativos. Implica dar el máximo con tu apariencia — más de lo que la ocasión podría requerir. Se puede usar con admiración ('Iba de punta en blanco para la gala') o con ligera exageración ('¿Por qué vas tan arreglado? Solo vamos a la tienda').
「decked out」とは、余分なアクセサリーやジュエリー、派手な要素をつけて完全に着飾ること。場にそぐわないほどやりすぎることを意味する場合も。賞賛的に使える(「She was decked out for the gala」)一方で、やや大げさなニュアンスも(「Why are you so decked out? We're just going to the store」)。
'덱트 아웃'이란 완전히 차려입은 상태로, 보통 과한 액세서리, 주얼리, 화려한 요소가 포함된다. 그 자리에 필요한 것 이상으로 외모에 공을 들였다는 뜻이다. 감탄조로('갈라에 완전 차려입었어') 쓸 수도 있고, 약간 과장된 느낌으로('우리 그냥 마트 가는 건데 왜 이렇게 차려입었어?') 쓸 수도 있다.
