介绍:
我是一名高中生,最近想在荔枝上传声音来激励自己学习英语。可能会每天,可能会不定期上传自己读的文章,每篇文章的题材或有不同。希望听见的网友能够和我一起进步。 第一天读的是一篇关于韩式美妆的新闻(不是最新的),第一次录,会紧张会发错音。感谢网友的倾听! 下面是原文: Lipstick in kindergarten? South Korea's K-beautyindustry now aims for super young 幼儿园就涂口红?韩国“韩式美妆”行业正瞄准幼龄孩童 South Korea's cosmetics industry, known as K-beauty, has become an Asian powerhouse and global phenomenon for its rigorous step-by-step regimens. 韩国美容行业,也叫做韩式美妆,因其细致的而又循序渐进的美颜法成为亚洲龙头产业,进而成了一个全球性现象。 But exacting beauty norms also put enormous pressure on South Korean women, making the country one of the world's centers for plastic surgery. And increasingly, the beauty industry is looking at younger and younger girls. 但是对美严苛的标准同样也给韩国女性带来了巨大的压力,使这个国家成为了世界整形中心之一。而且美妆产业正日益将目光投向年龄越来越小的女孩身上。 A YouTube video of a 7-year-old putting on lipstick, titled "I want to wear makeup like mom," has attracted 4.3 million views, while similar videos show young girls sharing their "elementary school makeup routine" and "unboxing my Hello Kitty makeup kit.” YouTube 上一个名为“我要像妈妈一样化妆”的 7 岁女孩涂口红的视频吸引了 430 万点击量,而在类似的视频中,年轻女孩分享着她们的“小学化妆的日常”和“我的凯蒂猫彩妆套装开箱视频”。 This is hardly a trend that is exclusive to South Korea. For decades, academics of all stripes have pored over the impact of pressure on teenagers and young women in the West to conform with unreasonable standards for appearance and body type. 这并不是韩国独有的趋势。几十年来,各个派别的学者都在研究西方青少年和年轻女性所承受压力的影响,这些压力迫使她们去遵循外貌和体型上不合理的标准。 But such concerns in South Korea also now include girls so young they can barely read the packaging on the beauty products. 但在韩国,上述对外貌压力的担忧,现已包括了年纪小到几乎连美容产品包装都看不懂的女孩群体。 "From K-pop divas to K-beauty cosmetics, the market capitalizing on women's objectification has become a hyper-saturated 'red ocean' in South Korea," said Yoon-Kim of Konkuk University. 来自韩国建国大学的尹金表示:“从韩国流行天后到韩式美容产品,通过物化女性来获利的市场已成为韩国一个过度饱和的‘红海’。” "The market sees a 'blue ocean' for expansion in younger customers, ready to instigate and monetize their insecurities about their appearance." “市场看到了幼年顾客的‘蓝海’在扩大,准备放大她们对自己外表的不自信,并利用该情绪来赚钱。”
