? ? {{B}}Freezing to Death for Beauty{{/B}}
? ?People in
Beijing wear a lot of clothing during winter to fend off the cold. In the United
States, however, people wear{{U}} ?(51) ?{{/U}}, partly because the car is
the primary mode of transportation. Cars take{{U}} ?(52) ?{{/U}}straight
to their workplaces, which are heated well. The American diet is full of
calories, so their{{U}} ?(53) ?{{/U}}can afford to burn heat more
quickly.
? ?Fewer layers of clothing give people the opportunity to
stay{{U}} ?(54) ?{{/U}}Lots of Yale girls wear skirts{{U}} ?(55)
?{{/U}}when it’s 10 degrees Centigrade outside. Some of them at least wear
boots, tights, and leg-warmers. Some, however, really just go for the look{{U}}
?(56) ?{{/U}}the risk of health. These girls have nothing to prevent
their legs{{U}} ?(57) ?{{/U}}the wind, and no socks to protect their feet.
A mini skirt and a pair of stilettos are all that they wear.

?Typically, the ones pursuing fashion are{{U}} ?(58) ?{{/U}}, with
little body fat. Just by the nature of their bodies, they are already at a
disadvantage compared with normal people in{{U}} ?(59) ?{{/U}}weather. I
have always{{U}} ?(60) ?{{/U}}, whenever I pass these girls, how they
manage to refrain from shivering and just smile like spring had
arrived.
? ?And then there are the guys. The girls can be said
to{{U}} ?(61) ?{{/U}}health for beauty. But why do guys{{U}} ?(62)
?{{/U}}so little? It is not like, once they shed some layers, they suddenly
become better-looking. They are not exactly being fashionable when they{{U}}
?(63) ?{{/U}}wear sporty shorts and shower slippers in the midst of
winter. It’s not cute.
? ?Of course, people have the freedom to
look whatever{{U}} ?(64) ?{{/U}}they want. I am just surprised that, given
the vast difference between winter and summer temperatures in Connecticut, they
can still{{U}} ?(65) ?{{/U}}like they are partying on the beach in the
middle of February. |
