在晨光微照的角落，我拾起一抹阳光，轻轻拂过内心的尘埃。这是自我提升的起点，是外在与内在交融的乐章，是灵魂与美的对话。

In the corner bathed in the faint morning light, I picked up a ray of sunshine and gently swept away the dust in my heart. This is the starting point of self-improvement, a symphony of the outer and the inner blending together, a dialogue between the soul and beauty.

1. 如果你一开始不爱自己，这就是为什么你永远不会过上自信的生活的主要原因。如果你总是专注于你缺乏的一切，自信就不是你能在自己身上找到的东西。你会发现你周围的一切都很丑陋，只值得批评。

1. If you don't love yourself from the beginning, this is the main reason why you will never live a life of confidence. If you always focus on everything you lack, confidence is not something you can find within yourself. You will find everything around you to be ugly, worthy only of criticism.

2. 爱就是爱，不爱就是不爱，从不委屈，也不将就自己，所以她才能在浮躁的社会像一股清流赢得很多人的支持。

2. Love is just love, and not loving is just not loving. She never feels wronged or compromises herself, which allows her to stand out as a refreshing stream in the turbulent society and win the support of many people.

3. 人生就是一场修行。

3. Life is a journey of self-improvement.

4. 心理学上有一个羊群效应，强调的就是集体力量对我们思想的影响，绝大多数人都被其他人思想所左右，害怕发出自己的声音。

4. In psychology, there is a concept called the herd instinct, which emphasizes the influence of collective power on our thoughts. The majority of people are influenced by the thoughts of others, afraid to speak out their own voices.

5. 内在美的前提关注你内在的一切——心、思想和灵魂。不仅仅是你的外表，这些是让你更加美丽和有吸引力的东西。你可以拥有最完美的身体和脸庞，但如果你不爱自己或未拥有内在的美，那么美就毫无意义。

5. The premise of inner beauty focuses on everything within you - your heart, thoughts, and soul. It's not just your outward appearance; these are the things that make you more beautiful and attractive. You can have the most perfect body and face, but if you don't love yourself or don't possess inner beauty, then beauty is meaningless.

6. 爱美是人的本性，修饰打扮是应该的，保持面貌的整洁是很重要的，教人看了就产生好感，彼此便有所沟通。不过有些女人走极端以求保持外表美而且沉溺西方不健全又古里古怪的化妆法以致失去了本身的自然优点。例如，把原为东方人的黑头发染成金**、绿色、棕色甚至白灰色；又把好好的眼皮涂上青色、蓝色等的眼膏，俾使东方人的自己变为金发碧眼的「西方妖姬」以求「美观」，这种偷天换日的作法决不能保持健全的美。

6. Love of beauty is inherent in human nature, and it is appropriate to dress and adorn oneself. Maintaining a clean appearance is very important, as it elicits a favorable impression and facilitates communication between people. However, some women take it to the extreme in order to maintain their outward beauty and indulge in Western unhealthy and peculiar makeup methods, thereby losing their own natural advantages. For example, they dye their naturally black hair of Eastern descent into golden, green, brown, even white-gray colors; they also apply blue, green, and other colored eye creams to their eyelids to transform themselves into the "Western enchantress" with blonde hair and blue eyes, all in the pursuit of "beauty." Such deceitful and deceitful methods cannot maintain a healthy beauty.

7. 所以她们不会被他人与主流的眼光所局限，而是倾听自己内心的声音，最终散发着独特的光彩。

7. Therefore, they are not confined by others' or mainstream perspectives, instead, they listen to their inner voice, ultimately radiating a unique glow.

8. 一个人要修炼自己的灵魂，不断提升自我生命的能量，做一个优雅的人，有道德的人，纯粹的人，脱离了低级趣味的人。

8. A person must cultivate their soul, continuously enhance the energy of their life, and become an elegant, moral, pure individual, someone who has transcended the vulgar tastes.

9. 伍尔夫女作家一直虽然有精神疾病，但是因为她的内在丰盛的思想，被很多人誉为嘉宾。

9. The female writer Virginia Woolf, despite suffering from mental illness throughout her life, has been hailed by many as a guest due to the richness of her inner thoughts.

10. 须知外表美是短暂的，全受时间、年龄的限制。时间一过，青春逝去，就变成了鸡皮鹤发，哪还有美貌的存在？就从另一角度来看吧，一个女人就算有一只希腊女神鼻子，但嗅不到世间人情味，那就不美；有一对凤眼，但看不透世间善恶，亦不算美；有圆滑细致的面颊，但领悟不出生命的意义，更不是美。

10. It must be known that external beauty is fleeting, entirely limited by time and age. Once time passes and youth is gone, it turns into skin with feathers and gray hair, where can there still be beauty? Let's view it from another perspective: A woman may have a Greek goddess' nose, but if she cannot smell the human warmth of the world, she is not beautiful; she may have phoenix eyes, but if she cannot discern the good and evil of the world, it does not count as beauty; she may have smooth and delicate cheeks, but if she cannot understand the meaning of life, it is definitely not beauty.

11. 这种气质是一种认真不苟且的活着，是去追问生命的真相与意义，所以才散发着动人的光彩。

11. This temperament is about living with seriousness and without complacency, it is about seeking the truth and meaning of life, which is why it exudes an动人 glow.

12. 形象美好，是一个人最基本的自律。

12. Having a good image is the most basic self-discipline for a person.

13. 显然特性美比面貌、身材美更高一层。可是若认真来评一个女人的美就莫过于心灵美了。箴言十一章详如此记载：「妇女美貌而无见识，如同金环带在猪鼻上。」

13. It is obvious that the beauty of character is a higher level than the beauty of appearance and figure. However, if we seriously evaluate a woman's beauty, it is none other than the beauty of the soul. Proverbs 11 describes it in detail: "A woman of beauty but without understanding is like a gold ring on a pig's snout."

14. 林徽因一直因其才华与思想被很多人欣赏，无论是建筑学家梁思成还是金岳霖还有大文豪徐志摩。

14. Lin Huiyin has always been admired by many people for her talent and thought, whether it be the architect Liang Sicheng, the philosopher Jin Yuelin, or the great literary figure Xu Zhimo.

15. 活着一定不是为了取悦他人，活着是为了感受自我生命独特性。

15. Living is not necessarily for the sake of pleasing others; it is to experience the uniqueness of one's own life.

16. 我们不需要颜值爆表，光鲜亮丽，但必须尽力的收拾自己，保持干净整洁，衣着得体，落落大方。如果总是衣冠不整，不修边幅，头发蓬乱，满身脏污，就是自己放弃自己，你都不善待自己，何谈让别人善待你？

16. We don't need to have stunning good looks or be dazzlingly handsome, but we must make an effort to tidy ourselves up, keep clean and tidy, dress appropriately, and carry ourselves elegantly. If you are always disheveled, uncombed, and covered in dirt, it means you are giving up on yourself. If you don't take care of yourself, how can you expect others to treat you kindly?

17. 话说回来，不错，外表美的女人在某方面比外表丑的女人更占优势，这是正面作用，但从反面作用而论，外表美的女人所面临的危险性与威胁性却比外表丑的女人更甚。世上发生的强奸案，几乎全发生在外表美的女人身上，所以美人比丑女多了一份威胁，反之「丑女」就少一份受非礼的威胁。

17. To put it another way, it's true that beautiful women have an advantage over ugly women in some aspects, which is a positive effect. However, on the flip side, the dangers and threats faced by beautiful women are greater than those faced by ugly women. Almost all cases of rape that occur in the world happen to beautiful women, so beauties have an extra threat compared to ugly women, whereas 'ugly women' have less of a threat of being molested.

18. 心灵美包括气质、容忍、宽恕、接纳等的美德，而该美德实在是与爱心分不开的。神是爱，当心中有存神的爱，在为人处世上便有术，能辨别是非、讲义气、重道德，纵然外表看来不美，但人们会感到为人和，处世有道，与相处是一件非常愉快的事，因此就不会生活于孤独的圈子里了。

18. The beauty of the soul includes virtues such as temperament, tolerance, forgiveness, and acceptance, which are indeed inseparable from love. God is love, and when there is the love of God in one's heart, one has the skill in dealing with people, can discern right from wrong, be loyal, and value morality. Even if one appears not to be beautiful on the outside, people will feel that the person is harmonious in their interactions and has a way of dealing with the world, making it a very pleasant experience to be with them. Therefore, one would not live in a circle of loneliness.

19. 奥黛丽·赫本说：“若要优美的嘴唇，要讲亲切的话；若要可爱的眼睛，要看到别人的好处；若要苗条的身材，把你的食物分给饥饿的人；若要美丽的头发，让小孩子一天抚摸一次你的头发；若要优雅的姿势，走路时记住行人不止你一个。”

19. Audrey Hepburn once said, "If you want to have lips that are beautiful, speak kindly; if you want to have eyes that are adorable, see the good in others; if you want to have a slender figure, share your food with the hungry; if you want to have beautiful hair, let children stroke your hair once a day; if you want to have an elegant posture, remember that there are more pedestrians on the street than just you when you walk."

20. 心灵美是潜于内心深处的美。那是不能用化妆来表现的。一个妇女有高贵的品德、广博的知识、善良的心肠、纯洁的灵魂、为人处世有道、坦诚的胸怀、真实的爱心、纯正的节操就可称她有心灵美。古人说：「纯洁的心是女人最高的财产。」培根也说：「形容表现不出的部份，正是美中的最美之处。」

20. The beauty of the soul is hidden deep within the heart. It is a beauty that cannot be portrayed through makeup. A woman with noble character, extensive knowledge, a kind heart, a pure soul, a proper manner of dealing with others, an honest breast, genuine love, and true virtue can be said to possess the beauty of the soul. The ancients said, "A pure heart is a woman's most valuable possession." Bacon also said, "The part that cannot be described is the most beautiful in beauty."

21. 人是会思想的芦苇，思想本身就是具有吸引力的，它可以超越性别，成为人们争相追捧的内涵。

21. Man is a reed that thinks, and thought itself is attractive, capable of transcending gender and becoming an内涵 that people compete to pursue.

22. 外在美可能会给他人留下他们需要你的第一印象，但内在美更能体现你的价值。

22. External beauty may leave others with their first impression of needing you, but inner beauty is more reflective of your value.

23. 不管你有没有漂亮的外表，内在美是鼓励别人爱你或与你交朋友的原因。人们可能会因为你的外表而欣赏你，但决定一个人是否留在你生活中的是你的内在美。

23. Whether you have a beautiful appearance or not, inner beauty is the reason that encourages others to love you or be friends with you. People might appreciate you for your appearance, but it is your inner beauty that decides whether someone stays in your life.

24. 自信和性感的光芒来自于你自己。你之所以自信，是因为你向世界展示自己的方式以及保持真实性的方式。很多人认为自信与你的外表有关，但事实并非如此。

24. The glow of confidence and sexiness comes from within you. You are confident because of the way you present yourself to the world and the way you maintain your authenticity. Many people believe that confidence is related to your appearance, but that is not the case.

25. 从小在优渥环境长大，从未吃过苦头的她，即使在那个非人时代，被关进了牢房。

25. Having grown up in an affluent environment and never having suffered any hardships, she was even imprisoned during that inhumane era.

26. 经常反思自己，不要让灵魂受到欲望的玷污，不管遇到多少诱惑，都要守住良知的底线。

26. Often reflect upon yourself, and do not let your soul be stained by desires. No matter how many temptations you encounter, always hold onto the底线 of your conscience.

27. 外在美和内在美之间存在很大的混淆。在这些混淆中，我们忽略了内在美的真正本质，而将所有功劳归功于外在美。外在美可能更容易被注意到，但一旦与其他人进行互动，内在美就会成为焦点。

27. There is a significant confusion between external beauty and internal beauty. Among these confusions, we neglect the true essence of internal beauty, attributing all the credit to external beauty. While external beauty may be easier to notice, it is the internal beauty that becomes the focus once interaction with others occurs.

28. 一个有思想的女人一定是受到男人和女人都认同的。

28. A woman with ideas is surely recognized and esteemed by both men and women.

29. 虽然外在美是外在的，但内在美比任何其他美都提供了更多的意义。它比拥有完美的外部特征更能定义你。

29. Although external beauty is superficial, inner beauty provides more meaning than any other kind of beauty. It defines you more than having perfect external features.

30. 修行的目的不是成仙得道，不是荣华富贵，而是让自己变得越来越美好，从而匹配到更加美好的生活。

30. The purpose of practice is not to become an immortal or achieve wealth and honor, but to become increasingly beautiful, thereby being able to match a more beautiful life.

31. 女性美的发扬不外乎面貌、肉体和心灵美，这是古今中外为妇女朝暮所向往的。这三点美的发扬，照理该当以心灵美占首席。

31. The promotion of female beauty boils down to the beauty of appearance, body, and soul, which has been the pursuit of women throughout history and across the world. Among these three aspects of beauty, the beauty of the soul should logically take the lead.

32. 心灵美是人的本质力量的集中体现，是人类长期社会实践的产物，在教育、学习、磨练以及同假、恶、丑的斗争中形成和发展，受特定时代的生产方式、生活方式、社会制度、道德准则、文化发展状况的制约。

32. The beauty of the soul is the concentrated manifestation of the essential power of humans, a product of their long-term social practice. It forms and develops through education, learning, trials and tribulations, as well as in the struggle against falsity, evil, and ugliness. It is constrained by the specific mode of production, way of life, social system, moral standards, and cultural development of the era.

33. 不同时代、阶级的人对心灵美有不同的或某些相似的衡量标准。包括思想意识的美(如正确的立场、观点、方法、崇高的理想，爱国主义、集体主义思想等)，道德情操的美(如情感、操守、格调的美等)，精神意志的美(如进取精神、创造精神、顽强意志、崇高气节的美)、智慧才能的美(如高度的文化素养、知识才能、聪明睿智等)。

33. People from different eras and classes have different or certain similar standards for the beauty of the soul. This includes the beauty of ideological and consciousness (such as correct stance, viewpoints, methods, noble ideals, patriotism, collectivism, etc.), the beauty of moral sentiment (such as the beauty of emotions, conduct, style, etc.), the beauty of spirit and will (such as the beauty of progressive spirit, creative spirit, strong will, noble integrity, etc.), and the beauty of wisdom and talent (such as high cultural literacy, knowledge and talent, cleverness, and wisdom, etc.).

34. 但是她每次出来都会穿戴干净整洁，她觉得这是对她人的一种尊重，也是对自己的尊重。

34. However, every time she comes out, she dresses clean and tidy, as she believes this is a form of respect for others and for herself.

35. 我们虽然很容易认为内在美是为了让自己感觉更好，但事实并非如此。与外在美不同，它不是有形的东西。你无法触摸或看到内在美，但这并不意味着你无法欣赏它。

35. While it's easy to think that inner beauty is for our own self-satisfaction, that's not the case. Unlike outer beauty, it's not tangible. You can't touch or see inner beauty, but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate it.

36. 「美」本是极难解释、不易解答的抽象名词，如何美？何谓美？为何美？各人观点不同，没有一致的见解。一般来说，「美丽」是指外表的装饰、奢侈，「貌美」乃面上的美，不过随着时代的进步，人们审美的程度比昔时高出许多矣！

36. "Beauty" is an extremely difficult-to-explain and not easily answerable abstract noun. How is beauty defined? What is beauty? Why is something beautiful? Different people have different opinions, and there is no consensus. Generally speaking, "beautiful" refers to external adornment and luxury, while "good-looking" refers to facial beauty. However, with the progress of the times, people's standards of aesthetics have become much higher than in the past!

38. Psychologically speaking, the reason why many people like Fei Fei Wang is also a reflection of many people's inner selves.

39. 每个人的外表背后的每一次谈话和每一个行动，都是由内在美进行驱动。你希望某人成为你的朋友，是因为他们善良，或者你保持一段关系，因为他们的心胸宽阔。这些东西是外在美无法相比的，因为内在美要重要得多。

39. Every conversation and every action behind each person's appearance is driven by their inner beauty. You wish someone to be your friend because they are kind, or you maintain a relationship with them because of their broadmindedness. These things are uncomparable to external beauty, because inner beauty is much more important.
