Aesthetic Standards 审美标准

What is beauty?
Does it mean that we should be well proportioned and symmetrical in the face?
Does it mean that there should not be more than three colors in one dress?
Does it mean that we should always keep slim and slender?
Who is setting the standards?
Who is the judge?

到底什么是美呢?
五官符合三庭五眼?
服饰不能超过三种颜色?
身材永远保持苗条?
谁在制造标准?
谁在当裁判?


We are becoming more and more subject to others’ views and influences. 
我们越来越容易接触到他人的观点,受到他人的影响。
Anything that we can see with our eyes seems to have some established aesthetic standards, which have become increasingly demanding under the deliberate guidance of consumerism and the influence of public opinion: you should keep your figure slim forever, make your skin delicate and flawless, and keep your clothes tasteful all the time. Consumerism creates standards that may only be met by immortals, which creates anxiety and unease for ordinary people.
我们目光所及的所有事物,仿佛都有一些约定俗成的审美标准,这个标准在消费主义的刻意引导以及大众的议论下变得越来越苛刻:身材永远保持苗条,皮肤细腻没有瑕疵,着装永远有品位——消费主义创造了神才能达到的标准,来给普通人制造焦虑。
Every inch of skin, every tooth, every pore, that is part of our bodies is subject to the harsh judgment of the eyes of others. However, unfortunately, we are all ordinary mortals, each has his/her own natural advantages and defects; each of us is born with a different thigh size, fat thickness and proportion of facial features.
我们的每一寸皮肤,每一颗牙齿,每一个毛孔都活在他人审视的目光里。但我们都是普通人,有天生的优势和缺陷,我们大腿的尺寸、脂肪的厚度、五官的比例天生不同。
No person is perfect.
每个人都不完美。

In this new world, we should accept our own substandard and at the same time respect the characteristics of others.
在新世界里,我们接受自己的不标准,也对他人的特点保持尊重。

Each one of us is to appreciate and to be appreciated at the same time. Only with a positive attitude of accepting imperfections and accommodating differences can we save ourselves from anxiety, which helps us to appreciate the diversified charms of the world.
我们都是观赏者,也是被观赏者,只有拥有接纳不完美、包容差异的心态,才能将自己从焦虑中解救出来,帮助我们去欣赏这个世界的多重魅力。
