Tomboys

A:Some of my girlfriends have an unusual style. They have short hair, they only wear T-shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes, and they never wear makeup. I think if I didn’t know them I wouldn’t be able to tell that they were girls!

B:There are a lot of girls like that, but I think they’re still really cute. Their style has a nice casual and confident feeling; it looks very natural.

A:Some of them even talk different than other girls; their voices are kind of throaty, low alto quality rather than high pitched.

B:There are definitely girls who project a more masculine attitude. One good example of this kind of “tomboy”is the 2005 Super Girl contest winner, Li Yuchun. To tell you the truth, the first time I saw her on TV, I couldn’t tell she was a girl, but the more I watched the more I liked her style. By the end, I was a dedicated fan.

A:That’s true, Li Yuchun has tons of fans even though she doesn’t fit the traditional Chinese ideal of female beauty. Tomboys like her defy the idea that women have to be gentle, tender, sweet, and cute in order to be pretty.

B:Tomboys can be graceful and feminine, too, though—it’s just a different way of expressing yourself. Some people think girls with a more androgynous style are just sloppy or lazy, but many of them care just as much about their appearance as other girls. Also, just because she’s a tomboy doesn’t mean a girl isn’t well-mannered or polite.

A:I think that this trend toward a more androgynous style for women doesn’t just reflect the change of beauty standards and changing fashion trends, it’s also an expression of individuality.

B:You could even say that tomboys are an example of the independence and strength of modern women.

A:I think so. This more androgynous form of beauty is really in style these days; fashion designers have started coming out with more androgynous clothes and accessories, and it’s becoming a hot trend.

B:But even though this trend is becoming more and more popular, sometimes people make assumptions about other people’s personalities based on the type of clothes they wear, but in my experience tomboys aren’t any different from girls with a more traditionally feminine style. You can be down to earth, outgoing and attractive to the opposite sex regardless of whether you wouldn’t dream of wearing a skirt or you wear a skirt every day.

A:Yeah, in my opinon it’s great that girls these days have more freedom to dress however they want and still look cool.

中性美女

A:我的一些女朋友有很特别的风格。她们通常留短发,喜欢穿T恤、牛仔裤和帆布鞋,从来不化妆。我觉得如果我不认识她们,我可能看不出来她们是女孩子!

B:有很多那样的女孩子,不过我觉得她们依旧很可爱,有种随意、帅气的感觉,不做作。

A:她们说起话来都和别的女孩子不一样,她们的嗓音是有些沙哑的女低音,不是又尖又细的女高音。

B:她们就是有男人气质的女人,典型的代表人物就是2005年“超级女声”的冠军——李宇春。说实话,当我在电视上第一次看见她的时候,我真的没看出来她是个女生,可是越看越喜欢,到后来,我成了她的忠实粉丝。

A:是的,虽然李宇春不是典型的中国传统美女,但她有很多粉丝。像她那样的中性美女打破了女孩应该文静、温柔、甜美和可爱才算漂亮的审美观。

B:中性美女也很优雅、有女人味——这只是展示自己的不同方式。一些人觉得中性风格的女生都很邋遢或什么都不讲究,但是很多中性美女和其他女孩一样很在意自己的外表。还有,一个中性女生并不意味着她的举止不好或没有礼貌。

A:我觉得女性中性化的趋势不仅反映了人们的审美标准和时尚潮流的变化,更是女性张扬个性的表现。

B:你甚至可以说中性美女是时代女性独立和自强的代表。

A:我同意。这种更中性化的风格现在大行其道,很多设计师都开始设计中性的服装和饰品,现在非常流行。

B:但是虽然这种趋势越来越流行了,有时候人们仍然会根据穿衣风格来判断一个人的性格。但是,根据我的经历,中性女生和传统的女生没什么两样。不管你是从来都不想穿裙子还是每天都穿裙子,你都可以很纯真、外向和吸引异性。

A:对,我觉得现在的女孩子可以更自由地打扮、想怎么打扮就怎么打扮看起来仍然很酷,这很棒!
