【在生活中學習語言】《中英對照讀新聞》Women ’feel most beautiful aged 32’ 女性32歲時自認最美

◎鄭寺音

Women feel most beautiful aged 32, a survey has reportedly found.

一份研究發現，女性覺得32歲時最美麗。

Almost 40 per cent women reportedly said they were at their most attractive at the age.

據說幾乎40％女性認為自己在最具吸引力的年紀。

Many reportedly explained that at 32 their life had the mix of confidence gained from life experience, an active love life and the pleasure of eating and drinking sensibly.

許多人據說是這樣解釋的：32歲時從生活經驗裡獲得各種自信心，愛情生活活躍，享受美食，也能有節制地飲酒。

Dr Sandra Wheatley, a psychologist, told the Daily Mail that the survey’s findings were "really encouraging" and indicated that women placed value on life achievements as well as youthful looks.

心理學家魏特利告訴每日郵報，這份研究的發現真的非常鼓舞人心，研究指出了女性重視生活成就，也重視年輕容貌。

She told the newspaper: It sounds to me like women are becoming much more swayed by personality. It’s a sign that we are valued for who we are and what we are capable of, not just what is on the surface.

她告訴每日郵報，就我看來，女性似乎更容易為個性所左右，這顯示一種跡象：我們重視我們是誰，能做甚麼，而不是只有表象。

Feeling beautiful is tied in with confidence and life experience. At 32, a woman has been through and survived more experiences and achieved more than at 22.

覺得美麗與自信和生活經驗有關，32歲的時候，女性已經經歷許多經驗，從那些經驗存活下來，成就也比22歲時來得多。

"Women can be their own worst enemy, scrutinising each other’s weight and wrinkles. But this is a really encouraging study that beauty is more than skin deep."

女性可以是自己最大的敵人，檢視彼此的體重與皺紋，但這真的是一份鼓舞人心的研究，顯示美麗不是膚淺的。

The survey of 1,500 women was carried out via the internet by a mineral water company.

這份礦泉水公司進行的研究，透過網路調查1500名女性。
