易游app:幡然醒悟的“离婚变装”
中国日报网 2014-08-25 13:10
很多女性在离婚后才猛然发现,自己已经邋遢了好一段时间,和同一个男人过久的生活、天天为小孩服务的状态让她失去了打扮的热情,所以决定从头到尾进行一次divorce makeover(离婚变装),改变自己重新出发。

Divorce makeover is the reinvention of a recently divorced woman from hairstyle, costumes to everything around her.
“离婚变装”就是女性在离婚后从头到脚的一次改变,从她的发型、她的服装到她周围的一切。
Recent survey says a woman's 'divorce makeover' costs ?13,000. But Lucy Cavendish spent every penny of her savings on her new look. She spent ?150 at hairdressers every six weeks and bought ?500 dresses. Lucy also had her teeth done for ?500 and enrolled on a course for ?6,000. She said: 'Money might not heal a broken heart, but it sure does help!'
最近一项研究显示,女性的离婚后的变装会花掉13000英镑。但露西·卡文迪什把她存款中的每一分钱都拿来改头换面。她每六个星期就要在头发上花掉150镑,在置装上花掉500镑。为了她的牙齿她又花了500镑,上课花掉了6000镑。她说:“钱也许不能治愈我的心灵创伤,但起码它起到了一定的作用。”
Many women didn’t realize their floppy appearance after a heartbroken marriage. Lucy wrote, “Emerging from the wreckage of this relationship, I took a long, hard look in the mirror and realized that the person I was had to go. This person had long, limp hair that didn’t appear to be cut in any recognizable style. She had a lumpy body that hadn’t properly moved in years and dressed like a dowdy farmer’s wife. This was, of course, an external expression of my inner state.”
很多女性直到一次令人心碎的离婚后才意识到自己已经邋遢了很久,就像露西写的,“经受此次离婚的打击后,我久久地凝视那个镜子里的自己,突然觉得应该让那个自己成为过去。那个我有着长长的、软塌塌的头发,因为长期不修剪而毫无造型可言。那个我因为常年不运动有着笨重的身体,打扮也像个寒酸农夫的妻子。那个形象,很明显是我内在状态的外在表现。”
Lucy has no regrets about spending ?65,000 on her post-divorce makeover. 'My reinvention is pretty much over, and it doesn’t really matter to me if I meet someone or not. I am happier and more confident and, in time, the romance will come', according to her.
露西对于花在自己离婚变装上的65000英镑并不觉得惋惜,她说:“我的改变差不多完成了,但其实我不在意是不是有新的约会。我更开心,更自信了,爱情或早或晚,一定会降临我头上。”
