用法筆記
Although the source lists 'suntanned' as a noun, in natural English the word functions primarily as an adjective. It is most often used predicatively after 'be', 'look', or 'appear' (e.g. 'they were suntanned'), or attributively before a body-part noun (e.g. 'suntanned shoulders'). The noun form 'suntan' (or simply 'tan') is the standard choice for referring to the result of sun exposure.
