Barbie at 50 芭比50年 In the pink 风韵犹存 The versatile pink princess has moved with thetimes 千面女郎 与时共进 Mulling another career change 考虑职业生涯的另一次改变 FROWNED upon by feminists but fought over by five-year-olds, Barbie has been a victim ofcontroversy as much as fashion ever since her birth, 50 years ago this month. 1959年3月9日,从诞生之日起就一边作为时尚宠儿被5岁儿童争夺而饱受争议,一边受到女权主义者的不满。 The charge-sheet against the pint-sized piece of plastic is long. 这个塑料小人的罪行真是罄竹难书。 She teaches the supremacy of looks over substance; 她过分推崇外貌重于内涵; she stereotypes outdated gender roles; 她刻意强调过时的性别差异; she celebrates an impossible body ideal; 她以超完美身材为荣, and she spreads platinum hair, plastic limbs and a nauseating shade of pink intohouseholds from Honolulu to Hamburg. 她把天生的金发,塑料四肢,令人厌恶的粉红色调从檀香山传到汉堡的千万户家庭里。 |
