　　beauty is in the eye of the beholder

　　情人眼中出西施

　　what is beauty? is the standard of beauty always the same?

　　什么是美?美的标准总是一样吗?

　　beauty is in the eye of the beholder. standards of beauty are
not always the same;they change across time and cultural
groups.

　　美在观察者的眼中。美的标准不总是相同的，他们在时代和文化群体之间变化。

　　as margaret once said in the 19th century, there

is no
consistent view on beauty. standards and ideas of beauty changed
and adapted with time.

　　正如玛格丽特曾在第十九世纪所说的那样，对美没有一致的看法。美的标准和理念随着时代改变并适应时代。

　　nowadays, some customs and actions once regarded as beauty in
the 19th-century europe is not considered healthy or attractive,
while something now regarded as fashionhad different functions in
the past.

　　如今，曾在十九世纪的欧洲被视为是美的一些习俗和行为现在被认为是不健康的或不具有吸引力的，然而现在被视为的时尚在过去的不同的功能。

　　in contemporary society, culture still determines our ideas of
beauty. in some countries, people like being thinner, while in
others, people like being a little overweight. there are no precise
criteria to judge what beauty is. if beauty were limited by some
criteria, the human race would soon die out.

　　在当代社会，文化仍然决定着我们的美的观念。在一些国家，人们喜欢更瘦的，而在其他国家，人们喜欢有点胖的。没有精确的标准来判断什么是美。如果美被某种标准限制，人类将很快消亡。

　　there is physical beauty as well as inner beauty. the latter
is found in a wide range of personal qualities. it is inner beauty
that requires us to truly see. beauty is certainly in the eye of
the beholder.

　　有外在的美，也有内在的美。后者在一个广泛的个人素质中被发现。是内在的美，需要我们真正看到。美存在于旁观者的眼中。
