引導語：下面是小編整理的關於考研英語的閲讀文章，小編看完之後感悟頗多，每一個人都有他們的不容易，所以我們每個人都要很努力很努力。

　　Beauty is Not Easy

　　美並不容易

Have you, like me, drooled over French model Noemi Lenoir’ s perfect body on all those M&S billboards She is always the one chosen to wear the bikinis and lingerie: men lust after her because she looks like a sexy woman, not an emaciated child.

你是否也像我一樣曾對瑪莎百貨廣告牌上的'法國名模愛米諾的完美身軀垂涎三尺呢?她總是穿着性感的比基尼和女士內衣，男人們追捧她，因為她並不是瘦的皮包骨，而是非常性感。

Gazing at the pictures of Noemi, you’ d think she led an enchanted life. She is not only beautiful, she is famous and rich-M&S won’ t tell me what they pay Noemi, but their contract with fellow face Myleene Klass is reportedly worth 1million a year.

望着她的照片你會想她的生活該多麼美妙啊，又漂亮又富有——瑪莎百貨不會告訴你它們每年給愛米諾多少錢，但是我們可以從它們和另一位模特克拉斯的價值一百萬英鎊合同上推測出來。

Who would not want to look like Noemi Who would not want to be her Yet last week she was found slumped in a suburban Paris park after an overdose of drugs and alcohol.

誰不想變得跟愛米諾一樣呢?然而就在上週有人發現她因過度吸食毒品和酒精暈倒在巴黎的一個城郊公園裏。

It’ s easy for the rest of us to presume that beautiful people-especially female models-are happy. But perhaps the opposite is true. Most other people who work in the fashion industry treat these girls not only as if they have no brain, but as if they have no feelings. They look like aliens. But the truth are they are people.

我們總是想當然地認為那些漂亮女人(尤其女模特)是很幸福的。但事實正相反。 大多數在時尚界的工作的人都認為模特們不僅沒大腦更沒有感情——她們看起來像是火星人，可實際上她們只是凡人而已。

Because these young women look perfect, we think their lives must be perfect, too. But having seen many of these women close to, I would not want to be them. I can’ t tell you how many models I’ ve seen arrive on set bruised from being beaten up by their boyfriends. They have everything, and nothing. Many models have learned to inject drugs between their toes, the only place that won’ tinfuriate the stylist. As well as being burdened by beauty, models are often hopelessly naive and under-educated: they embark on careers while still children.

僅僅因為這些女孩看起來很完美，我們就認為她們的生活也應該是完美的。但是在和她們有了更深的接觸之後，我發現我不想成為她們。我見過很多的模特被男友打的遍體鱗傷，她們什麼都是，又什麼都不是。很多模特學會了在腳趾間注射毒品，因為如果在身體其他地方注射，會被服裝師罵得狗血淋頭。她們承受着由美麗給她們帶來的負擔，極其天真又缺少教育，她們入行的時候都還不過是小孩子。
