宾语从句
“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” the old saying goes. Unfortunately, as a teenager, that is often exactly what you do to yourself. Dark thoughts about your physical appearance can hang over you all the time like a rain cloud. Do I look fat in these jeans? Do others think I am too short? Is everyone laughing at my new hairstyle behind my back? These thoughts can have a negative effect on people of any shape or size, both male and female, and it is important to guard against the causes behind them.
Introduction (para. 1)
Problem: Dark thoughts about physical appearance have negative effects.
使忧心忡忡
嘲笑
对…有消极的影响
防范,防止
Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance. Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to. They will only end up feeling worse about themselves.
Causes (paras. 2-3)
Cause 1: Standards of beauty in the media.
对…有巨大的影响
打一场无望取胜的仗
使忧心忡忡
最终成为,最终处于
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance. If you have friends who are good-looking or have a great fashion sense, it can feel like you are living in their shadow. For children of the digital age, social media makes this problem even worse. Your friends may post a never-ending series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies, and it becomes easier for you to compare yourself to them. This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
Cause 2: Your friends.
炫耀
被证明是
These external influences are always present, but there are certainly ways to deal with them. First of all, be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly. They are out of reach for 99% of us, so it is better to just forget about them.
Solutions (paras. 4-6)
Solution 1: Stop following popular beauty standards blindly.
处理
首先
盲目地
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique. Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are. Talk about your feelings with someone you trust. Hearing how much they value you can help you feel comfortable in your own skin. Focusing on your strengths also helps you build your confidence. Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at painting or playing the piano, so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
Solution 2: Remind yourself that you are unique.
记住
集中于
建立你的自信
擅长于
为…自豪
Finally, it is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from negative thoughts. To achieve this, you should do something you enjoy. Read a book you like, or take part in a social activity, like playing a ball game with your friends. These things can help you take your mind off matters that worry you and make you feel good about yourself.
Solution 3: Direct your attention away from negative thoughts.
转移你的注意力
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside, not on the inside. However, like a book, your contents are much more important than your cover. If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality, your value to others, your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.
Conclusion ( para. 7)
Conclusion: Learn to see the good things about yourself and you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.
