引言：

Lili Reinhart，1996年9月13日，出生于美国俄州，模特，演员，代表作品有电影《夏日之王》等。媒体说她有与生俱来的演艺天分，这恐怕有些夸张，但是这妹子为理想，倒是没少奔波走四方。从演讲来看，无疑是个努力向上又热爱思考的现代优秀女性。

We exist in a world today where everything can be faked or fixed. Noses can be changed, and stomachs can be tightened, and cellulite can be lasered away, apparently. Because that’s what we are told to do, which is alter ourselves in order to be beautiful.

今天，我们身处在一个光怪陆离的世界，隆鼻、缩胃，激光溶脂等等。源于我们被告知，为了漂亮更完美，难免身体受点累。

For the past year, I’ve been quietly trying to navigate my fluctuating weight, and I’ve faced criticism in the past for talking about my body image. People told me that I didn’t have the right to talk about being self-conscious about my body because I was skinny.

去年，我悄然无声地尽力控制多变的体重，并且因为谈论身材形象饱受批评。他们说，我这么瘦，没权利谈论身材的话题。

And I understand how it seems inappropriate for someone who is average size to talk about problems with weight gain. But my point is, I didn’t think anything was wrong with my body until I was in an industry that rewards and praises people for having a smaller waist than I will ever have. It felt unfair to think that I would never have an industry-perfect body, just because I wasn’t genetically built a certain way. I was exposed to young women, smaller than I was, telling me that they needed to lose weight.So I became hyper-aware of my changing body.

我知道对一个普通身材的人，谈论增肥的问题稍有不妥。但我想说，我对自己身材还蛮自信，直到我进入一个鼓励更瘦纤腰的行业。因为基因问题，我被认为无法拥有最完美演艺圈身材，这不公平。比我还瘦的女生，都说要减肥，我也开始对体重焦虑起来。

I could see the difference in my shape in photos and wondered if anyone else was noticing. I felt this strange, constant struggle of having to live up to the expectation of the appearance that I had already established to the world.

因为我发现照片和现实的差距，于是担心别人也发现了这一点。为了不辜负外界对我的完美预期，我开始进行奇特又长久的心理斗争。

So I found myself examining my body constantly in the mirror. Sometimes thinking, OK, like, I was being too hard on myself. Everything's fine. I’m still the same size. And then I'd go back and look in the mirror a couple hours later, and my stomach looked completely different. So I was thinking, was my reflection lying to me? How can my body look so different over the course of one day ?

因此，我开始照镜子检查自己。有时会想：好吧，我对自己太苛刻了！一切如常，并没胖！但数小时后，再回看镜子时，竟发现肚子完全不一样了。然后我又想：镜子影像还能扯谎吗？一日之内，肚子都能如此不同吗？

And why do I feel like I need to apologize to the world for my ever-changing self? I didn’t want the world to think I was catfishing them with my appearance or making myself out to be a certain size and shape when clearly my body was changing.

为何我要向世人道歉我变化的身体？我才不想世人认为我只是花瓶，或者当我身材明显变化时，还塑造自己拥有某种标准身材。

So I told myself, If I can see this change then other people can too. Reflections don’t lie. Or do they? And is that body dysmorphia? Or is this the normal part of being a woman that no one really talks about?

我告诉自己，我能发现的，别人也能发现。镜子不会扯谎。或许撒谎了？这到底是身材畸形恐惧症，还是女生都不愿谈的正常现象？

I think about when I have kids in the future. And will my daughter be self-conscious about gaining weight? Will she feel the need to explain her body or justify it to anyone as it changes? Will she feel the same need that I do now—to apologize to her peers and say, "oh, my body doesn’t usually look like this," or "I’m just a little heavier than usual right now?"  Because how ridiculous is it that we even think about explaining the nature of our bodies to other people ? But  because we don’t want them to judge us. Because judgment and criticism have always existed. It’s just that now, everyone can be a critic and can share it publicly and without hesitation, at the push of a button.

我想如果有了小孩，我的女儿会否为变胖而焦虑呢？她会否觉得需要向世人解释和证明身材的变化呢？她会和我现在所想所需一样吗？比如向同行解释：“呃，我身材平时不这样！”、“我只比平时重一点点！”

可笑的是，源于判定和批评一直存在，我们为了不让世人评头论足，竟然要向世人解释我们与生俱来的身体。现在，每个键盘侠都是批评者，能够毫不犹豫地公开评价。

写作缘由：“fish小义的演讲稿翻译”

后记：

我也是突发奇想，于是翻译一下丽丽这篇演讲稿，源于正好看到简友分享的这篇演讲词，感觉特有范。

丽丽在上半部分向我们道出了她的疑惑，自己为何要向世人解释稍有变化的身材呢？还不是因为，有那么多说话毫无底线的键盘侠，这种心理斗争都在演讲中喊了出来，确实是个很实诚的美国姑娘。

以至于她想象未来的女儿，是不是也和自己一样焦虑身材走样呢？这篇演讲稿确实讲出来现代女性被纤瘦身材绑架的一个事实，值得好好深思与品味。

不论是男生还是女生，是否该活出自己，而不是被舆论绑架和影响。我们常说“走自己的路，让别人说去吧”，真要到现实生活中，却是步步维艰。

英语世界有首歌叫《Let It Be》，也许可以很好的帮我们重新审视我们自身和周遭的关系。

《Let It Be顺其自然》-The Beatles

当我于迷茫中寻找自我时
圣母玛丽来到我身旁
给予我智慧指引——随它去吧
当我于黑暗中感到无助时
她以正义姿态站在我面前
给予我智慧指引——随它去吧
随它去吧 随它去吧 随它去吧 随它去吧
智慧引导着灵魂 随它去吧
当那些灵魂遭受到压迫的人们
还共同生活在麻木之中
这就是答案
随它去吧
可能他们彼此会有所不同
但是终究他们会受到同一个声音召唤
这就是答案——随它去吧
随它去吧 顺其自然 随它去吧 顺其自然
这就是答案——随它去吧
随它去吧 顺其自然 随它去吧 顺其自然
智慧引导灵魂 随它去吧
于月黑风高的夜晚
总会有一束暖光投向我的身体
直至黎明，随它去吧
音乐声使我觉醒 我将音乐赋予生命
就如圣母玛丽的激励 （或者） 圣母玛丽也鼓舞着我
给予我智慧指引——随它去吧
随它去吧 顺其自然 随它去吧 顺其自然
啊~~，随它去吧
这就是答案——随它去吧
随它去吧 顺其自然 随它去吧 顺其自然
啊~，随它去吧
智慧引导灵魂 随它去吧

    《Let It Be》-The Beatles

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom let it be
And in my hour of darkness
she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people
living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted
there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the night is cloudy
there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be，let it be
let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be
let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
