Before you read any further, will you do me a quick favor? Find a mirror, take a look at yourself, and pay attention to the thoughts and feelings that run through your head. Don’t feel silly. It’s okay. And I’ll still be here when you get back (promise).
在你閱讀這篇文章之前，你能幫我個小忙嗎?找個鏡子看著自己，把注意力集中在你腦海中的想法和感覺上。不要覺得這樣做很傻。沒關系的。當你回來時我還會在這里的。(我保證)
Done? Let’s continue. How did that feel? Did your brain think positive thoughts like, “I look super cute today!” or did you put yourself down because you hate your thighs, hips, arms, or (insert body part here)? If I had to guess, I imagine most of you put yourselves down.
做完了?那我們繼續吧。你覺得怎么樣?你的大腦中的想法是不是積極的，如“今天我看上去超級可愛!" 還是你讓自己不開心了，因為你不喜歡你的大腿、臀部、胳膊或身體的其他部分?如果讓我來猜的話，我覺得大部分的人都會讓自己不開心的。
What you see in your reflection has a lot more to do with how you perceive yourself than how others perceive you. We are all guilty of beating ourselves up, so to encourage a healthy dose of self-love, I made a list of 10 reasons why you are attractive (yes, I’m talking to you!).
你在鏡子中看到的自己，更多的是你如何看待自己，而不是別人怎么看你。我們都在打擊自己，所以為了鼓勵大家來點兒健康的自愛，我列出了一個清單，列出了你為什么有吸引力的10個原因。(是的，我在對你說!)
1. You care
你關心他人
You can’t put a price tag on genuine care and concern. Imagine all of the lives you have touched by the simple act of caring. There are few things more attractive than compassion.
真正的關懷和愛護是不能用價格來衡量的。想象一下你那簡單的關心感動了多少生命。很少有事情比富有同情心更具吸引力。
2. You have strength of character
你很堅強
No matter what life throws at you, you keep moving forward. No matter how many times you fall down, you keep getting back up. No matter how many struggles you face, you stand firm. Your strength to keep on living and stay true to yourself speaks highly of your character.
無論生活如何對你，你都一直繼續前進。無論你跌倒了多少次，你都重新站起來。無論你面對多少困難，你都很堅強。你繼續生活下去的力量和相信自己都是你性格的優點。
3. Your hair is gorgeous (and fun to play with)
你的頭發很美(也很好玩)
Blonde, black, brown, red, yellow, pink, or polka-dotted? Doesn’t matter. Long and luxurious, suave and styled, short and sweet, spiked like a punk? All good. Maybe you don’t even have hair, and that’s okay too, because then your head will be all soft and smooth!
金發、黑發、棕發、紅發、黃發、粉發或用圓點裝飾?都沒關系。華麗的長發?溫文爾雅且非常時尚?還是甜美的短發?朋克風格?都挺好。也許你沒頭發，這也沒關系，因為那樣你的頭會很軟很滑!
4. Your smile makes me smile
你的微笑讓我微笑
There is nothing more attractive than a genuine smile. Show your pearly whites because happiness is contagious.
沒什么東西比真正的微笑更吸引人了。把你潔白的牙齒露出來吧，因為快樂是傳染的!
5. Mmmmm, brains…
嗯，頭腦......
Your wit tickles my brain’s fancy. Your unquenchable thirst for knowledge is uber attractive.
你的機智勾起了我的興趣。你對知識永無止境的渴求相當有吸引力。
6. You are fascinated with the world
你對這個世界很著迷
Curiosity about the world and everything in it is a super attractive trait. The ceaseless asking of the question “Why?” means you will never run out of things to learn about, read about, and talk about.
對這個世界及世界里東西的好奇心是個相當吸引人的特點。無止境地詢問“為什么” 意味著你不會缺少學習、閱讀和談論的東西。
7. Giggle, giggle, giggle, snort!
咯咯笑、咯咯笑、咯咯笑、哼!
Laughing is one of the best calorie-burning activities ever. Keep sharing giggles with everyone you come across because there is already enough darkness in the world. Be a source of light instead.
大笑是最消耗卡路里的活動。繼續和你遇到的人分享笑容吧，因為這世界已經夠黑暗的了。爭取成為一個光源。
8. Respect
尊敬
Debating about things like politics and religion can grow our perspective and help us see where other people are coming from. But your ability to treat people equally no matter how different from you they may be is an attractive quality that shows you are worthy of respect.
對政治和宗教的爭論可以開闊我們的視角，幫我們了解其他人的基本想法。但是無論別人是什么樣子你都能平等對待，這一點兒很有吸引力，顯示出你是個值得尊敬的人。
9. You give thanks
你表達謝意
Your gratefulness shows that you appreciate the people who help you and the blessings in your life. If we can’t be thankful for what we do have, what makes us think obtaining what we don’t have will make us feel any better? Your thankfulness is incredibly attractive.
你的感激之情顯示出你對幫助你的人和你生命中的祝福心存感激。如果我們不能對已有的東西有感激之情，那怎么會讓我們覺得獲得沒有的東西會讓我們變得更好?你的感激之情是相當具有吸引力的。
10. You are who you are
你就是你自己
There is nothing more attractive than a person who is 100% comfortable in his or her skin. Love your body. Be unapologetic about who you are. Walk with confidence. Hug yourself because you are beautiful. Love yourself because you are wonderful. Smile because you deserve it.
沒有什么比做自己更有吸引力的了。愛護你的身體，就做你自己，走路充滿信心，擁抱自己，因為你很美。愛自己，因為你很了不起。微笑，因為這是你應得的。
I hope you enjoyed this list of 10 reasons why you are attractive and I would be thrilled if you would leave a comment with something you love about yourself. That could be a favorite feature of your body, a personality trait you think is neat, or a character strength that helps you succeed. Let’s hear it!
我希望你會喜歡為什么你有吸引力的這10個原因。如果你評論一下你喜歡自己的哪些方面，那我會很激動的。這可以是你最喜歡的身體的哪個特征、你認為好的個性或幫你成功的性格等方面。讓我們來聽聽吧!
