I wish that I could tell every person that I meet that he or she is a beautiful person--and have them believe it. I wish I could look them in the eyes and tell them of their beauty and have them accept the words for what they truly are--the truth, plain and simple.

我希望我能对遇到的每一个人说：＂美丽是你＂,不管是他还是她,并使他们相信这一点! 我希望我能用正眼注视他们,告诉他们的美丽之处,并且让他们接受这是事实--因为他们真实,朴素而率直



You and I both know that most people will deny their beauty, expressing what they feel is modesty or humility. It's easier for us to be told that we're talented or intelligent--our own beauty is something that we don't want to face.

我们都知道绝大部分人都否认自己的美丽，这表示他们谦虚或谦卑。我们更容易接受别人称赞我们有才能或者聪明---我们承认自己美丽---有点不好意思面对的事情！



You could help me to convince people of their innate beauty. You could agree with me in an effort to reinforce the message. You could give a few specifics to illustrate just what we're talking about when we say the person is beautiful. You could reassure the person that I'm not saying it to flatter or to try to win the person over or get something out of the person, but just trying to express in words the beauty I see when I look into that person's eyes and see the human being there, the person who gets happy and hurt and who laughs and who cries.

你可以帮助我使人相信他们天生美丽.你可以和我一起努力巩固这一信念.你可以举几个特别的例子当我们谈论一个人美丽的时候!你能使人相信我不是出于奉承,也不是试图从那人身上赢得什么,更不是想从他那里索取什么；几句赞美之语,仅仅是表达我观察和留意到的他喜怒哀乐时自然展现的真实美．

You can help me by reminding the person that beauty isn't about comparing ourselves with others, but about the part of us that shines when we love others and love life. It's not all physical and it's not all spiritual, but a tender combination of all that we are.

你可以帮忙提醒，一个人的美丽不是拿自己与他人相比，而是在与关爱他人、热爱生活中，我们所体现或流露的闪光点。这种美，不全是体态美，也不全是心灵美，而是二者的微妙结合。
