It is human nature that all of us should be fond of beauty. Everybody was born with a heart for beauty.
爱美是人的天性，每个人天生就有一颗爱美之心
Today in China,with the rising of our living standard, people's requirement of beauty has been heightened accordingly.
在今天的中国，随着生活水平的提高，人们对美的要求也随之提高了。
Some people spare no money or energy on beautiful clothes, fashionable hair styles,the decoration of their houses and even the improvement of their looks. But it seems to me,all these are more or less confined to the beauty in appearance,or rather,the outward beauty.
一些人把大量的金钱和精力花费在流行服装，发型，房屋装修以及整容上面。
In my opinion,we shouldn't only pay attention to beautiful appearance and neglect the beautification of the mind and what we are after should be the perfect unity of the outward beauty and the inner beauty.
我认为我们不应当只注重外在美，而忽视精神方面的内在美，我们应该追求内在和外在的完美统一。
As we all know,so far as objects and animals are concerned,there is only beautiful appearance to be mentioned, but to us humanbeings, although the outward beauty really matters, the inner beauty is much more important.
众所周知，就物品和动物而言，所提及的美仅仅是外在的，对我们人类来说，外在的美固然要紧，但内在的美却更为重要。
This was confirmed by a famous Russian writer in words much like this: "A person is not lovely for being beautiful but beautiful for being lovely. "
这已被一位俄罗斯著名作家的话所证实：一个人不是美丽面而可爱，而是因为可爱而美丽。
Here, I'd like to quote two typical instances and I'm sure, my dear friends,from them you'll find out what real beauty is.
在这里我想引用两个典型的例子来说明，我亲爱的朋友，我相信从这两个例子中你会发现什么才是真正的美。
Recently I learned from the radio an unpleasant incident about a well known singer. She is very charming with a sweet beautiful voice and very famous for singing the song."Devotion of Love".
最近我从收音机里听到关于一名著名歌手不幸的消息，由于她甜美嗓音而非常受欢迎，因唱“爱的奉献”而出名。
Not long ago,she was invited to Zhejiang Province to give performance. The moment she was to appear on the stage,she suddenly asked for more reward. Worse still,after her request was satisfied, she didn't begin to sing at once.
不久前，她应邀到浙江演出，在上台那一刻，她突然提出增加演出费，更恶劣的是，在她的要求得到满足后，她没有立刻开始演唱。
Instead,she took her time to count all the money piece by piece. Thus she kept the audience waiting for half an hour. So when she at last showed up and started to sing "Devotion of Love",a man rose up from his seat and shouted at her,"You don't have any devotion of love. You are not qualified to sing this song ! "Hearing this, the singer stopped singing and began to shout abuses with her finger pointed at the manAt this time the whole audience burst into an uproar..
相反地，她花时间一张一张点钞票，以让致台下的观众等了半个小时时间。因此当她最终上台开始演唱“爱的奉献”时，一名男子从座位上站起来冲她大吼：“你没有奉献什么爱，你没资格唱这首歌！”听到这些话，歌手停止演唱，开始用手指指着那名男子怒骂。这时所有的观众骚动起来。
How disappointed her keen listeners were when they learned this! It is the singer herself who spoiled her beautiful image in the eyes of others.
听到这些 该让她的热心听众是多么的失望啊!是歌手本人损坏她在别人眼中的美好形象。
Now, I'm coming to another true story. It's about a poor, ordinary looking old woman. She was a widow without any children, living barely from hand to mouth by picking odds and ends from rubbish heaps. However,she took in more than ten homeless orphans successively and managed to bring them up. Every day she labored from morning till night. In order to earn as much money as possible to raise the children and to keep them in school,she even went to a hospital regularly to sell her blood. She got so weak for the loss of blood that she sometimes fell in a faint on her way home.
现在我要讲另外一个真实的故事，它是关于一个贫穷长相普通的老年妇女的故事。她是一个寡妇，无儿无女，靠捡垃圾勉强维持生计。然而她成功收养了十多个无家可归的孤儿并把他们养大。每天她起早贪黑的干活。为了攒齐足够多的钱抚养这些小孩并让他们上学，她甚至经常到医院卖血。卖血她是如此的虚弱以致几次晕倒在回家的路上。
When asked why she chose to burden herself with so many children,she smiled and simply answered,"Oh,I love children and I like to have their company. "
当被问道她为何选择承担起如此多小孩的抚养重担时，她只是微笑并简单的回答说：哦，我喜欢小孩并且喜欢和他们在一起。
Though the old woman was poor materially, she was full of affection and rich in spirit. She was loved dearly by her children. She was also highly appreciated by the local government, and truly respected by people in her community.
尽管这个老妇人在物质方面是贫穷的，但她充满了爱心，在精神上却是富足的。她被她的孩子们深爱着，被当地政府高度表扬，也受到了当地人们的尊重。
Maybe you can't help wondering, "What makes that ordinary woman so extraordinary?" It is nothing else but her inner beauty, her true devotion of love without any thought of rewarding.
或许你会想：是什么让那个普通妇女就得如此高尚？使她变得高尚的就是她的内在美，她不图回报的爱的奉献。
好累啊 记得给分啊
