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

“如果你不得不作出选择，你会选择身材好还是颜值高的女人？”

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 genes¹.

这是一个老生常谈的问题，每个女人都想这样问她们的男友。当然，他肯定喜欢两者兼具！但是，只有很少一部分女性能够具有维秘模特的基因。

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 makeup² before he wakes up.

我曾经读过的一篇文章称，现今一些女性不会让他们的男友看到自己的素颜。甚至晚上睡觉时她们也会抹上遮瑕膏，早上很早起床以便于在男友起床之前有时间补妆。

Looking perfect means a lot to them. They are easily affected³ by the current standards set on beauty.

使自己看起来完美对她们来说很重要。她们很容易受到来自目前美丽的标准的影响。

They go to extremes in search of a unified⁴ and recognized image of beauty, and once they find it, they work hard to get and maintain it.

她们在寻找统一和公认的美丽面孔上走上了极端，而一旦她们找到了，就会努力得到并维持住这份美丽。

Part of the reason they behave this way is people impose stereotyped⁵ ideas about beauty on them. The other part of the reason is they are not confident enough about themselves and easily surrender to the whims⁶ and fancies of men.

她们之所以会这样做，部分原因是因为人们会将美丽的刻板印象强加在她们身上。而另一部分原因则是女性对自己不够自信，很容易就屈服于男人的冲动和幻想。

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，女人们不应该叫男人回答这个问题，而是要在心里面谨记，美丽的范围正变得越来越广。只有当女人真正懂得欣赏自己的美丽之后，她们才会变得更加自信。

"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 Vogue⁷.

时尚杂志《VOGUE》第一个大码超模阿什利·格雷厄姆有一句名言：“当我意识到不会委屈自己缩进这个社会想让我适应的狭窄模具时，我就感觉到了自由”。

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

我们并不想在街上看到虽然很美、却像同一个流水线生产出来的产品一样的脸庞。

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.

不要给自己贴上是某种女人的标签。你应该成为那种自己决定自己是谁、自己决定自己是什么样子的女人。与众不同就是美、充满自信就是美、真实不虚就是美！
