My View on Man-made Beauty

As people are becoming moreconscious of their appearance, man-made beauty beings to emerge. Some peopleare strongly opposed to beautifying one’s image by surgeries. They believe thatoutside beauty doesn’t matter so much and inner beauty is more important thanthat. But I don’t think so and I insist that man-made beauty confirms to thehuman nature of loving beauty.

隨著人們越來越在意自己的外表，人造美也隨之出現。有些人強烈反對通過手術美化人的外在形象。他們相信外在美沒那么重要，內在美比這更重要。但是我不這么認為，我相信人造美的出現符合了人愛美的天性。

I have two reasons to support my view. Onthe one hand, everyone loves beautiful things and physical beauty makes onemore presentable, thus boosting one’s self-confidence. Moreover one’sappearance really counts on many occasions. For example, in the interviewsespecially for the posts of secretaries, administrative assistance, and publicrelations ladies, interviewees with good looking have an advantage over thosewith plain looking. On the other hand, the surgeries can beautify the peoplewith defects and free them of discrimination. For instance, many people withinborn disfigured faces or burned skin are able to come out of the darkness andinto the light by means of cosmetic surgery.

我有兩個理由來支持我的觀點。從一個方面來看，每個人都愛美好的事物，外在美能讓人更突出，從而能夠提高個人的自信。再者，一個人的外貌在某些場合還是相當重要的。例如，在秘書，行政助理和女公關的面試中，面容姣好的應聘者比外貌平平的確實有優勢。另一方面，外科手術能夠美化人們，讓他們沒有缺陷，不被歧視。例如，有些人天生就帶著身體缺陷，例如毀容的臉和燒傷的皮膚，他們能夠通過整形手術走出黑暗，步入光明。

From the foregoing, a natural conclusion canbe drawn that beautifying oneself by surgeries conduces to the buildup of one’sconfidence and the rebirth of the defective people and that the appearance ofman-made beauty is indicative of the progress of the society.

綜上所述，我們能夠自然而然地得出結論。通過整容美化自己有助于增長個人自信心，重新塑造有缺陷的人生。人造美的出現標示著社會的進步。
