English Corner 弋果新鮮事

今天弋果新鮮事要討論的主題是: 中西方審美觀的不同，what foreigners see as beautiful versus our view of what's beautiful. 今天第一個要討論的是美白。亞洲人普遍都希望自己的皮膚很白，才算是漂亮，市面上也到處都是美白的產品，不過外國人并不是那麼認為。Besides, in Taiwan, you're fat unless you're super skinny. 此外，在台灣除非你很瘦，不然就是胖；外國人普遍覺得男生應該要粗野一點 (rough)，譬如不刮鬍子、頭髮亂亂的、身材要粗獷一點才是帥。Taiwanese guys do their hair more and take care of themselves more. 台灣男生則比較會打扮自己、要用洗面乳來洗臉，所以皮膚都很好，外國男生很多都是一個肥皂洗全身。(For more about this topic, please listen to the show.)
