2在我看来，诗人说的对—情人眼里出西施。我所认为的美很有可能与你所定义的美大相径庭。美完全取决于我们人类看待彼此的方式。相比用心灵揣摩，如果我们只是用眼睛看，美会更加难以捉摸。

While-reading：Translation3随着时间的推移，美的概念发生了很大变化。曾几何时，女人追求曲线美，而现在苗条成了唯一可以接受的美。如此极端的观念,是将美的定义分解成各个身体部位的完美。其中包括身体的平衡，良好的肤色，年轻，健康以及活力。不幸的是，美貌并不能保证心灵之美，而心灵之美的缺失能够最终破坏整体美。While-reading：TranslationWhile-reading：Translation4真正的美应该是外表，心灵，性格，智慧以及心灵的完美组合。这个定义将极大地拓宽人类对于真正美的认识。如此一来，几乎没有人会被认为是普通的，因为世上没有两个一样的人，而且所有人都有自己独一无二之处。5不幸的是，男人与女人看待美的角度通常相反。很多人认为男人比女人批判性更强，然而这话反过来说也对。女人在评判同龄人时，显得更为苛刻。6那么人们为何如此重视外表之美？美貌可以促进学业，优化职业选择以及生活方式。貌美的员工可以得到更多的升职与加薪；好看的学生成绩更好，因为他们可以掌控教授；漂亮的女人可以引诱男人按照她们的吩咐做事；英俊的男人可以激励女人买单。以上看似不道德，但是美丽的外表确实在日常生活中扮演重要的角色。While-reading：TranslationWhile-reading：Translation7美成了一些人的困扰，这些人认为优雅，魅力或者个性，不足以让他们从生活中得到他们想要的。很多没有完美外表的人诉诸于其他因素来得到别人的帮助；他们用金钱，权力或者性作为秘密武器来从别人那里得到自己想要的。他们不明白的是这样的行为实际上贬低了他们的整体美。8除非全世界看待美的视角放宽，否则美将继续限定在系统规定的参数内，而这样会让很多人感到心寒。这样的后果是很多人将因此错过我们很多同伴的才能，美德以及心灵。这意味着少了一首见解深刻的诗歌，少了一件完美的雕塑，少了一曲令人惊叹的音乐，少了一栋宏伟的大厦，最重要的是，少了一位特别好的朋友。While-reading：TranslationWhile-reading：Translation9真正的美无法定义，也不应该有定义。美绝不是一系列测量结果的罗列，或者一系列有限的特征。美应该是我们可以互相学习之处。从这点看，每个人都是美的。1.dimension
