去年凭借《欢愉的艺术》爆火的意大利女星 Tecla Insolia (特克拉·因索利亚),在罗马电影节的红毯上,自信的抬起了手臂,展示了自己的腋毛,这一行为引起外网热议。而在1999年,当时的美国甜心,朱丽叶罗伯茨,在电影的首映礼上也做了同样的事。但大家可能不了解的是,在1915年之前,人类是完全没有腋毛羞耻的。那为什么现在有女星露出腋毛,还会引起如此热议呢?今天我们就继续追热点,学英文,看看这篇精彩的英文文章。
In 1999, America's sweetheart Julia Roberts hit the Notting Hill premiere, waving enthusiastically at fans in a short-sleeved, sequined, crimson shift dress while revealing two small bushels of armpit hair. A moment forever cemented in pop culture history, it sent shockwaves through the industry at the time and to this day, is cited by many as a pivotal—if not pioneering—moment in the history of famous women bucking shaving tradition and going au naturel.
Roberts' infamous showing of underarm fuzz may not have been designed to shake up society's standards of female beauty. But the fact of the matter is it definitely had a hand in doing so, with a slew of stars boldly following in her footsteps both on the red carpet and off duty. What's more: A recent study found that nearly one in four women under the age of 25 have stopped shaving their underarms.
The truth is, women only started shaving their body and underarm hair for the sake of aesthetics because of the popular razor company ***. At the time, their only customers were men and they wanted to increase their revenue, so they targeted an untapped demographic for shaving: Women. They started marketing shaving towards women as a necessity and advertising armpit hair as undesirable.
1999年,美国甜心朱莉娅·罗伯茨亮相《诺丁山》首映式时,身着一件红色亮片材质的短袖直筒裙向粉丝热情挥手,不经意间露出了两小簇腋毛。这一瞬间永久载入了流行文化史册,也在当时的娱乐圈引发震动。哪怕不是开创性时刻,但直至今日,这仍被很多人看作是女性名人反抗剃毛传统、拥抱自然本真的关键时刻。
罗伯茨这场饱受争议的“腋毛展示”或许并非是刻意挑战女性审美标准,但事实上,她的行为确实推动了这种改变——无论在红毯上还是在私下场合,众多明星都开始勇敢效仿她的做法。更值得注意的是:最新研究发现,25岁以下女性中有近四分之一已经不再剃腋毛了。
事实上,女性最初为了美观而剃除体毛和腋毛,完全源于某剃须刀公司的营销策略。当时该公司的客户群体仅限于男性,为拓展营收来源,便将目光瞄准了尚未开发的女性剃毛市场。他们通过营销话术将剃毛塑造为女性必备需求,同时将腋毛污名化为“不雅之物”。

这哪是水果?是顶级恋爱脑的硬核浪漫!老外看不懂了,这荔枝, 凭什么让中国人疯魔千年?今天我们就继续追热点,学英文,来看一下这篇非常精彩的英文文章是怎么说的。
At a time when men wooed women with flowers, a Chinese emperor chose a different path.
Legend has it that emperor Tang Minghuang of the Tang Dynasty was in love with Yang Guifei, one of the most beautiful women in Chinese history. She was the emperor’s favorite concubine and Tang would do anything to please his ladylove.
Yang's favorite fruit was lychee. At the time, this fruit was not available at the capital where they lived. The emperor would therefore send his men all the way to South China to fetch the fruit for his beloved mistress. Lychee thus became a symbol of the emperor’s love for Yang.
Lychee fruits, till date, are held in high regard in China. In fact, many varieties of lychees are named after wealthy and influential Chinese families.
The health and beauty benefits of the lychee fruit are aplenty.
In Chinese medicine, these fruits are sometimes used to treat abdominal pain, coughs, neuralgia and swollen glands. A tea made from the peels helps alleviate diarrhea and is also said to cure skin rashes.
Lychee also helps in haircare. As the fruit is a rich source of Vitamin C, regular consumption of lychees helps ensure adequate supply of blood to the hair follicles. This increases hair strength and prevents breakage and split-ends.
中国古代男子都以鲜花追求佳人,有位帝王却另辟蹊径。
相传唐玄宗与绝代佳人杨贵妃相爱至深。这位盛宠不衰的妃子,让帝王甘愿倾尽所有博她欢心。
贵妃尤嗜荔枝,然此珍果当时长安遍寻不得。玄宗遂命人千里飞骑,自岭南将鲜荔驰送爱妃。自此,荔枝便成了这段旷世之恋的见证。
至今荔枝仍被国人奉为珍品。诸多荔枝品种皆以名门望族命名,足见其尊贵。
荔枝的养生美容功效更是不胜枚举。
中医里,此果可缓解腹痛、咳嗽、神经痛与淋巴肿痛。以荔枝壳煎茶,既可止泻,亦传可治皮疹。
荔枝还有护发功效。因富含维生素C,常食荔枝能促进毛囊供血,增强发丝韧性,断裂分叉自此无踪。

小沈阳女儿——沈佳润,在韩国出道了! 看看这台风,这气场! 但是,你们还记得她是谁吗?对,就是那个当年被网暴的小女孩,仅仅因为外貌不符合某些人的标准,就受到了铺天盖地的外貌羞辱,而当时那个年仅8岁的小姑娘是这么回应的:长得像爸爸我很骄傲。而如今她站在聚光等下,大胆开麦。今天我们就继续追热点,学英文,来看一下这篇非常精彩的英文文章是怎么说的。
It looks like Shen Jiarun, the daughter of Chinese actor Xiao Shenyang, has not let the haters get to her.
The 19-year-old has had to deal with mean comments about her looks for most of her life. Back in 2014, Jiarun and her dad made a guest appearance on reality show, The Firsts In Life.
However, what was meant to be a wholesome event for the family-of-three soon turned into a nightmare. Trolls criticized Jiarun’s appearance, pointing out her supposed flaws. For some reason, they took issue with her skin tone, eyelids, face shape and teeth. Yup, these netizens somehow saw it fit to insult a six-year-old child, even calling her the “ugliest celeb kid”.
Well, here we are a couple of years later and it looks like the joke's on her bashers after all. Because the kid they used to call ugly is now making her debut as a solo Kpop artist.
看来,中国演员小沈阳的女儿沈佳润并没有被网络黑子击垮。
这位19岁的女孩一生中大部分时间都在应对外貌的恶评。早在2014年,佳润和她的父亲一起作为嘉宾参加了真人秀《人生第一次》。
然而,这本该是这幸福一家三口的温馨时刻,却很快变成了一场噩梦。网络喷子们批评佳润的外貌,挑剔她所谓的“缺陷”。不知为何,他们对她的肤色、眼皮、脸型和牙齿都不满意,指指点点。没错,这些网友竟然觉得辱骂一个六岁的孩子很合适,甚至称她为“最丑星二代”。
如今十几年过去了,现在看来,笑话最终落在了那些喷子身上。因为他们曾经称为“丑”的那个女孩,现在正以个人身份在Kpop圈正式出道。

我们的韦神韦东奕又上热搜了。不过这次,他当起了配角。他坐在台下,认真地听了三天的讲座。台上的主角是谁呢?就是她,我们中国的数学家王虹,也是明年菲尔兹奖的有力竞争者。这个菲尔兹奖可是被称为数学界的诺贝尔奖。那今天我们就来看看这篇英文报道,了解一下这位数学天才,王虹。
Chinese mathematician Wang Hong has solved an "infamous" geometry problem called the Kakeya conjecture within three dimensions.
It is considered a breakthrough that could have implications for imaging, data processing, cryptography and wireless communication.
Wang — who was born in the southern Chinese city of Guilin and graduated from Peking University — is an associate professor at the New York University Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
Her proof of the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture has placed her in the spotlight, with many experts considering her a strong contender for the prestigious Fields Medal. The Fields Medal, awarded every four years to mathematicians under 40, is one of the highest honors in the field. If awarded in 2026, Wang would become the first Chinese woman to receive this prestigious recognition.
中国数学家王虹解决了一个“臭名昭著”的几何难题——三维空间内的挂谷猜想。
这一突破可能对成像、数据处理、密码学和无线通信产生影响。
王虹出生于中国南方城市桂林,毕业于北京大学,现为纽约大学柯朗数学科学研究所的副教授。
她对三维挂谷猜想的证明使她备受关注,许多专家认为她是菲尔兹奖的有力竞争者。菲尔兹奖每四年颁发一次,授予40岁以下的数学家,是数学领域的最高荣誉之一。如果她在2026年获奖,王虹将成为首位获得这一殊荣的中国女性。

Chinese host Zhu Dan's remarks on a variety show have once again landed her in the center of hot water.
Recently, the 43-year-old was accused of gender bias for how she distributed chicken soup on reality show Wonderland.
She gave the two drumsticks to younger male guests Zhou Yiran, 25, and Winwin, 28, saying "they're still growing," while female guests — 21-year-old Ouyang Didi and veteran actress Ning Jing, 53, — were given chicken wings instead.

《老友记》里最爱讲冷笑话的钱德勒——马修·派瑞,2023年10月于家中猝死,死亡原因终于浮出水面,害他的医生刚刚认罪:把超量的氯胺酮(k粉)当可乐一样卖给他!
A doctor who illegally sold Matthew Perry the anesthetic drug ketamine, fueling an addiction that led to the Friends star's fatal overdose, has agreed to plead guilty.
The doctor, Salvador Plasencia, supplied Perry with 20 vials of ketamine over two weeks in the period directly leading up to Perry's death, at times traveling to his house to inject him. He faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine.
Authorities have suggested that Dr Plasencia saw Perry as a cash cow, citing text messages he sent to another doctor Chavez about a month before the actor's death. "I wonder how much this moron will pay," he wrote in one.
Perry said that as a baby, he was so colicky that his parents took him to the doctor to see what was wrong. He said that the doctor prescribed him phenobarbital when he was just two months old. "I was noisy and needy, and it was answered with a pill." Perry acknowledged that treating infants with phenobarbital for colic and sleep issues was relatively common at the time.
非法向马修·派瑞出售麻醉药物氯胺酮的医生已同意认罪,他助长了这位《老友记》明星的药瘾并最终导致他服药过量死亡。
该医生萨尔瓦多·普拉森西亚在派瑞去世前的两周内,向其提供了20瓶氯胺酮,有时还亲自上门为其注射。他或将面临最高40年监禁和200万美元罚款。
相关机构称普拉森西亚将派瑞视为摇钱树,并援引了他在派瑞去世前一个月发给另一位医生查韦斯的短信。他在其中一条短信里写道:“想知道这个蠢货会出多少钱。”
派瑞说,他小时候特别闹腾,父母带他去看医生,想弄清楚是怎么回事。他说当时他才两个月大,医生就给他开了苯巴比妥。“我哭闹不止,又特别黏人,结果得到的回应就是一片药。”不过派瑞承认,当时用苯巴比妥治疗婴儿的腹绞痛和睡眠问题是相对普遍的。

起飞短短30s钟,超290人遇难,仅1人生还,6月13日的印度空难,众说纷纭,迷雾重重,究竟是什么原因导致的?我们一起来看看今天的英文文章是怎么说的
One cause that has been speculated on by some experts is the possibility of an extremely rare double engine failure.
Double engine failures are almost unheard of, with the most notable example being the 2009 "Miracle on the Hudson", when a US Airways Airbus A320 lost both engines to a bird strike moments after take-off from New York's LaGuardia Airport, but glided to safety.
One senior pilot told us that dual engine failure could also result from fuel contamination or clogging.
Three experts who spoke to us suggested that the disaster may have occurred as the aircraft's flaps were not extended during take-off.
Flaps play a vital role during take-off, helping an aircraft generate maximum lift at lower speeds.
If they're not properly extended, a fully loaded jet - carrying passengers, heavy fuel for a long-haul flight, and battling hot conditions - will struggle to lift off.
一些专家推测,此次灾难可能由极其罕见的双发动机故障引发。
双发动机同时故障在航空史上几乎闻所未闻,最著名的案例当属2009年“哈德逊河奇迹”——美国航空(原全美航空)一架空客A320从纽约拉瓜迪亚机场起飞后遭遇鸟击导致双引擎失去动力,最终成功滑翔迫降。
一位资深机长告诉我们,双引擎故障也可能由燃油污染或油路堵塞引发。
三名接受采访的专家则指出,这场灾难或许是因为飞机起飞时,机翼襟翼未按规定展开所致。
襟翼在起飞阶段至关重要,它能帮助飞机在低速状态下产生最大升力。
如果襟翼未能正常展开,一架载满乘客并加满长途飞行所需重质燃油的客机,在高温环境下将难以离地升空。

做人当如Labubu,丑萌也能颠倒众生。这只精灵古怪的小怪兽正掀起现象级热潮,初代Labubu拍卖出108万天价,创始人王宁更借此登上河南首富宝座,不管Labubu能不能抢到,相关的知识点一定要学到。今天我找到了一篇非常精彩的英文文章,一起来看看吧
What began as a modest toy business in Beijing has turned into a worldwide obsession, driven by a fuzzy, mischievous-looking, fang-toothed figurine named Labubu. At the center of this craze is Wang Ning, the 38-year-old founder, chairman, and CEO of toy maker Pop Mart.
His company's success recently boosted his fortune by $1.6 billion in a single day, bringing his net worth to $16.1 billion, according to Forbes.
Despite soaring trade tensions between the world's two largest economies, American consumers are queuing overnight at Pop Mart stores to buy limited numbers of Labubus.
Although the toys carry price tags that can be 60% more expensive in the U.S. than in China, American consumers are willing to pay.
The scramble to get the dolls led the Pop Mart shopping app to become the most downloaded free shopping app in Apple's app store in the U.S. last Friday.
北京一家曾经毫不起眼的玩具小店如今风靡全球,仅因一只獠牙外露、一脸坏笑的毛绒玩偶Labubu。这场狂热风暴的中心,正是38岁的王宁——潮玩品牌泡泡玛特创始人、董事长兼CEO。
据《福布斯》报道,公司股价的飙升让王宁身家单日内暴涨16亿美元(约合人民币116亿元),个人净资产高达161亿美元(约合人民币1467亿元)。
尽管中美两大经济体贸易摩擦不断,美国消费者仍不惜为抢购限量版Labubu而通宵排队。
哪怕Labubu的售价在美国比中国高出60%,也阻挡不了美国消费者的热情。
上周五,这股抢购热潮更让泡泡玛特App登顶美国苹果应用商店免费购物类App下载榜榜首。
