9、”, she was stating that there was no consistent(一致的) view on beauty. Standards of beauty change across time and cultural groups.Traditions and fashions, like society itself, change and adapt with time, so it is reasonable that our ideas of beauty change as well. In 19thcentury Europe, women used to
10、wear corsets to achieve a body shape that is no longer considered healthy. Men would wear woollen(羊毛制的) shawls across their shoulders. It is hard to imagine that they would be seen as attractive in the 21st century.Nowadays, in the Western world, one in every ten people has a tattoo(纹身) or a form of
11、 body art. In the past, some cultures used tattoos as an addition to costumes, to show family associations or to mark criminals so that they could easily be recognised.情人眼里出西施1878年,玛格丽特沃尔夫亨格福特撰写情人眼里出西施时,她陈述说在美的方面上没有统一的观点。美的标准随着时代和文化的不同而变化。正如社会本身,传统和时尚是在变化的,是与时代同步的,因此我们对美的认识会变化也是理所当然的。十九世纪的欧洲,妇女们身着紧身
12、胸衣以达到一种今天已经不再被认为是健康的体形,男人们喜欢在肩膀上围上羊毛披肩。在21世纪,很难想象他们会被认为是迷人的。现在西方国家每十个人中就有一个人有文身或一种人体艺术形式。而在过去,一些文化用文身作为装束的点缀,以此表现家族联系,或者给罪犯打印记以易于分辨。 助读讲解此处it作形式主语,真正的主语是后面that引导的主语从句。that引导定语从句修饰先行词a body shape,从句中含有“be consideredadj.”结构,形容词healthy用作主语补足语;不定式短语“to achieve a body shape”在主句中作目的状语。it作形式主语,that引导的从句作真正
13、的主语。In contemporary society, culture remains a major part in determining our ideas of beauty. In some countries, young women follow slimming(减肥) diets to lose extra kilos in preparation for their wedding day. In other cultures, looking thin for a husbandtobe is not what a woman desires at all rather
14、, looking a little overweight(超重的) is considered more attractive. With the influence of history, society and culture, there are no precise criteria which can be used to judge what is beautiful. Lifelong commitment(责任) and, indeed, the survival of society itself rely on people seeing beauty in differ
15、ence and depth. The human race would soon die out(灭绝) if we could only see beauty within a set of limited criteria.在现代社会,文化仍然是决定我们审美观的重要因素。在有些国家,年轻女子为准备她们的婚礼而采用瘦身饮食法,以除去身上多余的体重。在其他文化中,女人根本不想在未来丈夫眼中显得苗条,而身材略微丰满才更加迷人。受历史、社会和文化的影响,没有精确的衡量标准用来判断什么是美。人们毕生的奉献,甚至社会自身的存亡都取决于每个个体对美的不同层面的认识。如果我们只能够用一套有限的标准来衡量
16、美,人类不久将灭绝。助读讲解动名词短语“looking thin for a husbandtobe”作主语,what引导表语从句,在从句中作宾语。which引导定语从句修饰先行词criteria。Physical beauty must also be accompanied(伴随) by an attraction to something deeper within a person. This particular kind of attraction is found in a wide range(变化范围) of personal qualities, eg. kindness,
17、 warmth, a healthy conscience(良心), etc. Judging the appeal of a persons inner(内部的) beauty is much more subjective(主观的). It takes more than a casual glance to appreciate and it is much more important than physical beauty. Beauty, therefore, has more than one dimension(方面). We are influenced by our cu
18、lture, our biology and our time in history to notice physical beauty quickly and easily, but it is inner beauty that requires us to truly see. Beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder.身体上的美必须有人的内在美相伴。这种特别的吸引力广泛地存在于人的品质上面,例如,仁慈、热心、健康的良知等。判断一个人的内在美是否有感染力是很主观的,它不像随意一瞥就能欣赏到那样容易,也远比外在美重要的多。因此,美是多维的
19、。受文化、生理和历史时期的制约,我们能够快速地、轻而易举地看到外在的美,但其实内在的美才真正需要我们注意。真是情人眼里出西施。助读讲解Judging the.是动名词短语在句中作主语。It takes.to do sth.需要来做某事。本句是强调句,强调主语inner beauty。第一步速读了解文章主题和段落大意速读P34教材课文,匹配段落大意1Para.1AIdeas of beauty change with time.2Para.2 B.Inner beauty is much more important.3Para.3 C.There is no consistent view o
