介绍:
Karen hated wearing makeup. She felt fake and weird when she wore any.
All her friends laughed at her. “Don’t be a little boy,” they would say. “You’re going to look ugly without it.” Karen believed them.
Apart from not liking how it felt, Karen hated the price. Makeup is very expensive. She did not want to waste money on it. But every girl she knew wore it. “I guess I have to buy it,” Karen thought.
One day, Karen met a boy she really liked. He thought Karen was nice and funny. Still, he didn’t want to ask her out. “Why not?” asked his friends. “She wears too much makeup,” he replied.
Karen 讨厌化妆。当她化了妆，她会觉得很假，很怪异。她所有的朋友都笑话她。“别像个男孩子一样，”她们会说，“不化妆的话，你看上去会很丑。”Karen 相信了她们。
除了不喜欢化妆带来的感觉之外，Karen 还讨厌它的价格。化妆很费钱。她不想把钱浪费在这上面。但是所有她认识的女孩都化妆。“我想我必须得买，”Karen 这样认为。
有一天，Karen 见到了一个她很喜欢的男生。他觉得 Karen 人很好，又风趣。然而，他依旧不想约她出来。“为什么不呢？”他的朋友们问。“她化的妆太浓了，”他回答。
