美文欣赏

你可以和我一起去提醒人们，一个人的美丽并不是拿自己与他人比较，真实的美丽在关爱他人、热爱生活中得到绽放。这种美，并不是外在的，也不是精神上的，而是我们真实自我的全部。　

Welcome to Faith Radio Online-Simply to Relax, I’m Faith.I wish that I could tell every person that I meet that he or she is a beautiful person--and have them believe it. I wish I could look them in the eyes and tell them of their beauty and have them accept the words for what they truly are--the truth, plain and simple.

You and I both know that most people will deny their beauty, expressing what they feel is modesty or humility. It's easier for us to be told that we're talented or intelligent--our own beauty is something that we don't want to face.

You could help me to convince people of their innate beauty. You could agree with me in an effort to reinforce the message. You could give a few specifics to illustrate just what we're talking about when we say the person is beautiful. You could reassure the person that I'm not saying it to flatter or to try to win the person over or get something out of the person, but just trying to express in words the beauty I see when I look into that person's eyes and see the human being there, the person who gets happy and hurt and who laughs and who cries.

You can help me by reminding the person that beauty isn't about comparing ourselves with others, but about the part of us that shines when we love others and love life. It's not all physical and it's not all spiritual, but a tender combination of all that we are.

This is Faith at Faith Radio Online-Simply to relax. Now, I’m telling you: You are a beautiful person!

参考译文

欢迎来到Faith轻松电台，我是Faith。我希望我能对遇到的每一个人说：＂美丽是你＂, 不管是他还是她, 并使他们相信这一点! 我希望我能真诚地注视着他们的眼睛, 告诉他们那些散发于他们内心的美丽, 并且让他们接受这些实实在在的美--真实,朴素而率直。

我们知道绝大部分人都否认自己的美丽，以示他们的谦虚或谦卑。我们更容易接受别人称赞我们有才能或者聪明，而如果去承认自己美丽，这确实是有点不好意思去接受。

你可以帮助我使人相信他们天生美丽。你可以和我一起努力巩固这一信念。你可以举几个特别的例子来说明我们所谈论的某个人美丽的概念。你可以使他们相信我并不是出于奉承，也不是试图从那人身上赢得什么,更不是想从他那里索取什么；而是用言语表达当我看着他的眼睛时所捕捉到的美丽：一个真实的自己， 有欢乐，有痛苦，有欢笑也有哭泣。

你可以和我一起去提醒人们，一个人的美丽并不是拿自己与他人比较，真实的美丽在关爱他人、热爱生活中得到绽放。这种美，并不是外在的，也不是精神上的，而是我们真实自我的全部。　

这里是Faith主持的Faith轻松电台。现在，我要告诉你：美丽是你！
