实战口语情景对话 第911期:Changes in Appearance 外表的变化

Alex: So Maria, I thought we'd just talk about things like what would you like to change about yourself? What would you like to change about your appearance?
亚历克斯：玛丽亚，我们来看看你想改变自己吗？你想改变自己的外表吗？

Maria: Well, I don't like to think about changing myself. I like how people look from the birth, if you can say that, but if I should choose I would like to change my height because I'm very tall and it does cause a problem when I'm looking for a guy especially since in the past I happen to fall for shorter guys and I got issues because they were always being intimidated by my height especially when I wore heels so I would like to be, like have my body because I do like my long legs but just be shorter and not be taller than everybody as I am at the moment, all of my friends.
玛丽亚：我不想改变我自己。我喜欢人们天生的样子，但是如果可以选择，我希望能改变我的身高，因为我实在太高了，这在找男朋友时给我带来了问题，我以前喜欢过个子比我矮的男生，可是我穿高跟鞋的时候总是会把他们吓到，我很喜欢我的身材，我也确实喜欢我的大长腿，可是我想矮一点，身高不要超过我周围的朋友。

Alex: I guess that would also lead to you having problems finding shoes and clothes and stuff like that?
亚历克斯：我想你在买鞋和买衣服时也遇到了问题吧？

Maria: Indeed, yes. I have to watch out. Well in my country it's not a problem to find shoe sizes because we are a very tall people normally so shoes are big and clothes are big but when I travel, I went to China to visit a friend and I wanted to go shopping and it's impossible to find shoes and long pants and fitting bras too, if you can imagine. So I would like to change my height but otherwise I might change like my weight for example or I have changed my hair color several times. I went from black to blonde to black to red to blonde so otherwise I think I'm fine with me.
玛丽亚：没错。这是我要注意的地方。在我们国家买鞋并不是问题，因为我们那里的人都很高，所以鞋码很大，衣服尺寸也很大，可是我旅行时就不同了，我之前去中国拜访一个朋友，我想去购物，可是我发现很难找到我能穿的鞋，也没有合适的长裤和内衣，你能想象吗？所以我想改变我的身高，除此之外我可能会改变我的体重，另外我头发的颜色已经换过好几次了。我从黑色染成金色，又换回黑色，然后又染成红色，再染成金色，除此之外，我对自己很满意。
