Lots of people feel entitled to comment on a woman's appearance -- especially if that woman happens to be taller than them. 很多人觉得对女人的外表评头论足是理所应当的,如果这个女人还是个高妹的话,那就更应该要评一评。 Just as skinny women are tired of being told to "eat a burger" or that they "look like a toothpick," and short women cringe when someone asks "what the weather's like down there," taller women are subject to giraffe jokes and questions about their femininity. 就像瘦子已经厌倦了别人说“你应该去吃汉堡”或者“你瘦得像根牙签”;矮个子的女人不喜欢别人问她们“下面的空气是什么样的”,高妹也常常听到和长颈鹿有关的玩笑话,还有关于有没有女人味的质疑。 We polled our Twitter followers on what you should never say to a tall woman -- and they delivered. Here are 16 of the worst offenders: 我们在推特上做了个调查,问大家最不应该对高妹说的话,以下就是得到的16个答案: 1."It must be hard to find a man who's comfortable with your height." 1.“要找到一个身高能配得上你的男人,一定很难吧。” 2."You have long feet." 2.“你的腿真长。” 3."I wish I was as tall as you." 3.“我希望能跟你长得一样高。” 4."You must have played basketball in high school!" |
