You're a Beautiful Person/美麗是你
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.
我希望我能對遇到的每一個人說:“美麗是你”,不管是他還是她,并使他們相信這一點!我希望我能真誠地注視著他們的眼睛,告訴他們那些散發(fā)于他們內(nèi)心的美麗,并且讓他們接受這些實實在在的美--真實,樸素而率直。
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.
我們知道絕大部分人都否認自己的美麗,以示他們的謙虛或謙卑。我們更容易接受別人稱贊我們有才能或者聰明,而如果去承認自己美麗,這確實是有點不好意思去接受。
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.
你可以幫助我使人相信他們天生美麗。你可以和我一起努力鞏固這一信念。你可以舉幾個特別的例子來說明我們所談?wù)摰哪硞€人美麗的概念。你可以使他們相信我并不是出于奉承,也不是試圖從那人身上贏得什么,更不是想從他那里索取什么;而是用言語表達當我看著他的眼睛時所捕捉到的美麗:一個真實的自己,有歡樂,有痛苦,有歡笑也有哭泣。
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.
你可以和我一起去提醒人們,一個人的美麗并不是拿自己與他人比較,真實的美麗在關(guān)愛他人,熱愛生活中得到綻放。這種美,并不是外在的,也不是精神上的,而是我們真實自我的全部。
Now, I'm telling you: You are a beautiful person!
現(xiàn)在,我要告訴你:美麗是你!
