Why do we care so much about how we look? Because it matters. Because beauty is powerful. Because even when we learn to value people mostly for being kind and wise and funny, we are still moved by beauty. No matter how much we argue against it or pretend to be immune, beauty exerts its power over us. There is simply no escape.
　　我们为何如此在意自己的外貌？因为它很重要。因为美的力量很大。因为即使我们学着按仁慈、智能、风趣去评介一个人，但我们仍会受到美的感动。无论我们多么用力辩驳，或假装对它免疫，美仍然对我们产生影响，根本无法逃避。
