要自信! 無需別人告訴你什麼纔是美麗大綱

"If you had to choose, would you prefer a woman with a hot body or a beautiful face?"

“如果你不得不作出選擇，你會選擇身材好還是顏值高的女人？”

It's a classic question that every woman wants to ask their boyfriend. Of course, he would prefer both. However, only a small number of women are blessed with Victoria's Secret model genes.

這是一個老生常談的問題，每個女人都想這樣問她們的男友。當然，他肯定喜歡兩者兼具！但是，只有很少一部分女性能夠具有維祕模特的基因。

I once read an article that said, nowadays, some women wouldn't let their boyfriends see their real face. They wear concealer even when they go to bed and get up earlier so that they have enough time to put on some makeup before he wakes up.

我曾經讀過的一篇文章稱，現今一些女性不會讓他們的男友看到自己的素顏。甚至晚上睡覺時她們也會抹上遮瑕膏，早上很早起牀以便於在男友起牀之前有時間補妝。

Looking perfect means a lot to them. They are easily affected by the current standards set on beauty.

使自己看起來完美對她們來說很重要。她們很容易受到來自目前美麗的標準的影響。

They go to extremes in search of a unified and recognized image of beauty, and once they find it, they work hard to get and maintain it.

她們在尋找統一和公認的美麗面孔上走上了極端，而一旦她們找到了，就會努力得到並維持住這份美麗。

Part of the reason they behave this way is people impose stereotyped ideas about beauty on them. The other part of the reason is they are not confident enough about themselves and easily surrender to the whims and fancies of men.

她們之所以會這樣做，部分原因是因爲人們會將美麗的刻板印象強加在她們身上。而另一部分原因則是女性對自己不夠自信，很容易就屈服於男人的衝動和幻想。

So, instead of asking men to answer this question, women should bear in mind that the scope of beauty is getting broader and broader. Only when they really appreciate their own beauty, will they become more confident.

因此，女人們不應該叫男人回答這個問題，而是要在心裏面謹記，美麗的範圍正變得越來越廣。只有當女人真正懂得欣賞自己的美麗之後，她們纔會變得更加自信。

"I feel free, once I realized I was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in," reads a quote from Ashley Graham, the first plus-size model to appear on the cover of Vogue.

時尚雜誌《VOGUE》第一個大碼超模阿什利·格雷厄姆有一句名言：“當我意識到不會委屈自己縮進這個社會想讓我適應的狹窄模具時，我就感覺到了自由”。

We don't want to see similar beautiful faces on the street, looking like products from the same assembly line.

我們並不想在街上看到雖然很美、卻像同一個流水線生產出來的產品一樣的臉龐。

Don't label yourself a certain kind of woman. Be the woman that gets to decide who you are and how you should look. Being different is beautiful; being confident is beautiful; being real is beautiful.

不要給自己貼上是某種女人的標籤。你應該成爲那種自己決定自己是誰、自己決定自己是什麼樣子的女人。與衆不同就是美、充滿自信就是美、真實不虛就是美！
