"Beauty is only skin deep" nghĩa là gì?
Đánh giá thế nào đây? Photo courtesy David Merrett.
'Beauty is only skin deep' ý nói chúng ta nên cân nhắc kĩ càng mỗi khi đánh giá con người bởi vì tính cách, tâm hồn, trí tuệ quan trọng hơn diện mạo. Sự quyến rũ bề ngoài dễ làm cho chúng ta bị mê hoặc và lầm lẫn. Những thứ trông có vẻ hào nhoáng, đẹp đẽ có thể không thực sự tuyệt vời như thế (external attractiveness has no relation to goodness or essential quality); tốt gỗ hơn tốt nước sơn.
Ví dụ
There’s no arguing Samsung’s Edge devices are some of the most beautiful phones on the market, featuring dual-edge screens that slope down on both sides. But beauty is only skin deep, and the Edge design has always lacked that killer functionality.
They say beauty is only skin-deep, but tell that to the multi-billion dollar beauty industry—you know, the one that consumes women around the world. Between the North American magazine covers with photo-shopped models displaying big hair and perfect teeth, the Parisian women with their wine and ability to eat all day, a Japanese culture obsessed with skin whitening, and the camels’ milk beauty treatments covering modestly dressed women in Dubai, the standards around the world may differ, but it’s clear that beauty standard do exist everywhere.
