Ever since Donald Trump was elected the next president of the US, the entire Trump family has been put under a microscope.
自從唐納德·特朗普當(dāng)選成為下屆美國(guó)總統(tǒng)之后，整個(gè)特朗普家族都被置于顯微鏡之下。

在中國(guó)，人們主要關(guān)注特朗普和他的女兒伊萬(wàn)卡。人們?cè)谖⑿派蠈⒁寥f(wàn)卡描述為一個(gè)具有耀眼美貌而又影響力非凡的人物，她有成功的事業(yè)和一個(gè)快樂的家庭。
She leads a dream life that a million girls would kill for. Yes, she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. But she got where she is by herself.
她過著上百萬(wàn)女孩極度渴望的夢(mèng)幻般的生活。是的，她是含著銀湯匙出生的。但是她是靠自己才取得現(xiàn)在的成就的。

總是有一些文章說那些出生在富貴之家的人要長(zhǎng)得比你好看、有更好家庭背景，但是這些人工作也要比你更加努力一些。
Are you a loser if you were raised in an ordinary family? Should you feel guilty that you sleep eight hours a day because Ivanka sleeps five?
如果在一個(gè)平民之家長(zhǎng)大，你就注定是一個(gè)失敗者嗎？因?yàn)橐寥f(wàn)卡一天只睡5小時(shí)，所以你就該為自己睡了8小時(shí)而感到內(nèi)疚嗎？
If you just want to keep a stable nine-to-five job, does it mean you are not ambitious?

How about if you don't work out or eat healthy, does that mean you will not find your Mr or Miss Right?
如果你不健身或者飲食不健康，那就意味著你不可能找到自己的真命天子/女嗎？
There is a tendency in media nowadays to encourage elitism.

But what's the downside of being mediocre? Do you really need to go to the gym five days a week unless you are a gym maniac?

Do you need to take hundreds of selfies and Photoshop the selected ones to post on WeChat?

Do you really need to break your neck and sacrifice to earn your first pot of gold only to worry constantly about how to blend into high society later?
你真的有必要擠破腦袋、犧牲賺取第一桶金的時(shí)機(jī)，只為時(shí)常擔(dān)心以后如何融入上流社會(huì)嗎？
Don't let the idea of elitism get to you. Everybody has a right to the life they want.

只要你過著快樂而舒適的生活，為什么要徒添煩惱去追逐別人的影子呢？選擇你自己的道路并堅(jiān)持走下去吧！
