Today's key word is Freckle
Freckle f-r-e-c-k-l-e
雀斑
Freckles are small light brown spots on someone's skin, especially on their face.
She is a tall, freckle - faced Irish girl with kind, beautiful eyes and an infectious smile.
她是一個身材高挑 、 滿臉雀斑的愛爾蘭裔女孩, 眼睛溫柔美麗,笑起來很有感染力.
今天為什么要說freckle雀斑呢?Last week, dating website match. com launched a poster campaign in London subway stations.Match. com在倫敦地鐵發布的海報很快引起來巨大的爭議。The poster featured a freckly red-haired, brown-eyed girl and the caption(說明文字), "If you don't like your imperfections, someone else will."
如果你不喜歡自己不完美的地方,總有其他人會喜歡的。這個廣告一出來,很多人就在各種社交網站上表達了不滿。People feel that match. com was expressing the idea that freckles and brown eyes make a person imperfect不完美? And who are you to tell other people they are perfect or not? 看看憤怒的英國人是如何吐槽這個廣告的 Leo said, Hey Match. com – got a typo in this ad! You misspelled "perfection" as "imperfection."
Londoner Carrie Hill said on Twitter, “My freckles certainly are not 'imperfections.' "Susan comments that “Disgraceful! Freckles are a sign of beauty! How to alienate(放棄,離間) half the UK!"不久,match. com就出來道歉了。
他們解釋說"We believe freckles are beautiful. The intention of our 'Love Your Imperfections' campaign is to focus on the quirks(怪癖) and idiosyncrasies(特有的氣質) that people wrongly perceive(理解) to be imperfections,".每個人都有自己的個性,自己的小怪癖,有自己獨特的地方,Differences make you who you are!正是你與別人不同的特質,才讓這世界上只有一個你。So don't let other people tell you what your imperfections are! They don't have a say!
所以每一天都要堂堂正正 自信的生活。Don't care too much about what other people think of you! Some days you have to create your own sunshine. Be confident! No one else is you, and that is your power!希望大家每天都自信的 開開心心的生活!
