How To be more attractive

魅力指南

Laughter is a lovely thing.

笑！顯得你可愛無比。

Ever notice how some of the hottest people have a wicked sense of humor?

你有沒有注意到一些人氣高的人總有種幽默特質？

They're busy laughing rather than taking life too seriously, and they keep you grinning too.

他們常常面帶笑容，生活對于他們而言，并非認真嚴謹般不茍言笑，他們“沒心沒肺”的笑聲也帶動你跟著咧著嘴笑。

These hotties aren’t afraid of a few laughs at their own expense either.

這些人氣高的人并不懼怕自己的笑聲會付出什么代價。

After a long day at school or work, take some time to watch a comedic television show or read posts on one of your favorite websites. It will help you relax and maybe even take yourself a little less seriously.

上了一天班/上了一天課，需要找時間看看喜劇類電視節目，打開自己喜歡的網站看看帖子等都能幫助你放松下來，也不覺得自己像上班/上課那樣嚴肅認真。

Laughter is not only a great method for de-stressing, keep it up and you will even burn some calories. Go ahead, crack a smile.

笑不僅是一種很好的減壓方式，而且還能消耗熱量。笑吧！展顏歡笑吧！
