remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hong Kong.Coming from cold and cloudy England,I was prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt.Not having much chance to enjoy the sun in the UK and having naturally fair skin ( 白晳皮肤) ,my legs were very white.In the UK this is not a fashionable look at all.Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin.The darker the skin,the better the look.I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me.
As I walked around one shop,two shop girls didn't take their eyes off me the whole time,talking quietly to each other in Chinese.I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave.After we left the shop,she asked me what was wrong.I complained (抱怨) about the shop girls being very rude,and always looking at my legs.I was embarrassed (尴尬) that they were talking about my white skin.My friend laughed,"They weren't laughing at you.They were saying how nice your legs are.Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours.In fact,there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin whiter and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have.The grass is always greener on the other side.If the women of the West and East thought the same way,western women wouldn't spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the East wouldn't need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
我记得我第一次从那个又冷、又多云的英国去香港购物的那个时候,我为了防备阳光而做好了准备,穿上了T恤和短裙.并没有多少机会享受英国的阳光的我,有这自然白皙的皮肤,我的腿也很白.在英国这可根本不是什么时尚的外观.许多女人在晴天的时候都花费大多的时间让自己浸泡在阳光下,只为了让皮肤颜色更深,颜色越深,就越好看.我也试过,可就是没管用.
当我在一家店左右观看时,两个前台小姐至始至终都没看过我,而是用中文交流着.我开始觉得不舒服并问朋友能不能离开.在我们出了店的时候,她问我怎么了.我抱怨前台服务员太没有礼貌了,总是谈论我的那双白腿.我对她们谈论我白皮肤这事很尴尬.朋友笑着说:“她们没有嘲笑你.她们反而在夸你的腿很好.很多中国女人都想拥有你这样的白皮肤.实际上,商店中有很多美白用品,它们使皮肤更白,所以有很多人把钱花在上面.”
这件事只是揭示了我们永远不满足于自己所拥有的这个事实.“另一边的草总是更嫩、更绿”.如果东西方的女人想法一致,那么西方的女人就不会用护肤霜让自己变黑,东方的女人也不会用护肤霜让自己更白了.
