A Long-term Investment or a Quick Fix

一项长期投资还是一个权宜之计

There’s something about French women.

法国女性身上有种特别的气质。

They have a stylish and cool feel that American women have long been trying to imitate.

她们有着时尚又酷的气质，这是美国女性长期以来一直试图模仿的。

The two countries have quite different approaches to beauty.

这两个国家对美的态度截然不同。

Mathilde Thomas, co-founder of French beauty brand Caudalie, will explain the subject in her new book, The French Beauty Solution.

法国美容品牌欧缇丽（Caudalie）的联合创始人玛蒂尔德・托马斯（Mathilde Thomas）将在她的新书《法国美容方案》中阐释这一主题。

She said the key to French beauty is the belief that “beauty is something to give you pleasure. Because when you feel good, you look good.”

她说，法国美容的核心信念是 “美是能给你带来愉悦的东西。因为当你感觉良好时，看起来也会很棒。”

In 2010, she went to the U.S. to expand her brand.

2010 年，她前往美国拓展自己的品牌。

She traveled all over the country meeting customers.

她走遍全美，会见客户。

She found that the American concept of beauty was more about pain than pleasure.

她发现，美国的美容理念更多与痛苦相关，而非愉悦。

Many women said they made their beauty choices based on the notion of “no pain, no gain.”

许多女性表示，她们的美容选择基于 “不劳无获” 的观念。

They thought they had to suffer to be beautiful.

她们认为，要变美就必须忍受痛苦。

In contrast, she and French women believe the notion of beauty should be pleasing to you.

相比之下，她和法国女性都认为，美的理念应该让你感到愉悦。

Thomas’ book discusses how women in the U.S. are all about the “quick fix.”

托马斯的书探讨了美国女性如何执着于 “快速解决法”。

This means they will try a product that will instantly solve a beauty problem.

这意味着她们会尝试能立即解决美容问题的产品。

They don’t care if it hurts, is expensive, or is damaging in the long run.

她们不在乎是否会痛苦、是否昂贵，或是长期来看是否有伤害。

That’s quite different from the French view of beauty.

这与法国的美容观截然不同。

In the book, Thomas sees the French view as an essential and pleasing part of the day.

在书中，托马斯将法国的美容观视为日常生活中必不可少且令人愉悦的一部分。

It is also a lifelong and active investment that makes you look and feel good.

它也是一项能让你看起来和感觉都很棒的终身积极投资。

In the book, Thomas says, “Our beauty routine is based on prevention and upkeep.

托马斯在书中说：“我们的美容流程基于预防和保养。

And it is viewed as an essential, ongoing investment.

它被视为一项必要的、持续的投资。

What I saw here was much more of a tendency toward the quick solution.

我在这里看到的更多是对快速解决方案的倾向。

Millions of American women consider beauty a priority in their daily routine.

数百万美国女性将美容视为日常生活中的优先事项。

However, many of their habits are either too expensive, too painful, or simply not effective.”

然而，她们的许多习惯要么过于昂贵、过于痛苦，要么根本无效。”

An Important Piece of Life Advice for the Young

给年轻人的一条重要人生建议

I spend a lot of time interviewing older people in my research on their lives.

我在研究老年人的生活时，花了很多时间采访他们。

In one project, I asked them the question: “What can young people do to avoid having regrets when they come to the end of life?”

在一个项目中，我问他们：“年轻人能做些什么来避免在生命尽头留下遗憾？”

One of the most important messages they have for younger people is to travel—and to do it now.

他们给年轻人最重要的建议之一就是旅行 —— 而且要现在就去。

An old woman once told me that among the most regretful elders she knows are those who put off travel until it was too late—a mistake she almost made if it had not been for her husband.

一位老太太曾告诉我，在她认识的最遗憾的老人中，有一些人把旅行推迟到了为时已晚的地步 —— 如果不是她的丈夫，她也差点犯了同样的错误。

Her husband said, “I’m not waiting until I retire. Who knows what things will be like then?”

她的丈夫说：“我不会等到退休才去旅行。谁知道到时候情况会怎样？”

So, here’s a clear opportunity to avoid a future regret: travel in your first 30 years, while you have time and energy.

因此，有一个明确的机会可以避免未来的遗憾：在你 30 岁之前旅行，趁你还有时间和精力。

This message comes from some of the elders who delayed travel until it was too late.

这个建议来自一些把旅行推迟到为时已晚的老人。

One 86-year-old lady I talked to had spent her life close to home.

我采访过一位 86 岁的老太太，她一辈子都待在离家不远的地方。

With a sad look in her eyes, she told me: “I always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I never made it. Oh, it’s too late for me.”

她眼神悲伤地告诉我：“我一直想去夏威夷，但从来没去过。哦，对我来说太晚了。”

I can hear some people saying: That’s all well and good, but how can we afford it?

我能听到一些人说：这固然很好，但我们负担得起吗？

The elders counter that argument by saying that travel is so rewarding that it should take precedence over other things younger people spend money on.

老人们反驳说，旅行的回报如此之大，以至于它应该优先于年轻人花钱在其他事情上。

The key is travel’s value specifically for the young; it broadens their horizons, helps them to find a focus for their lives, and challenges them in new ways.

关键是旅行对年轻人的特殊价值：它拓宽他们的视野，帮助他们找到人生的重心，并以新的方式挑战他们。

Of course, travel is by no means only for the young.

当然，旅行绝不仅仅是年轻人的专利。

Seeing the world is also important in the middle 30 years and the last 30 years.

在人生的中间 30 年和最后 30 年，看世界也同样重要。

Travel is just that important to feeling like your life has been well-lived.

旅行对于让你感觉人生过得有意义来说，就是如此重要。

④ Eating beside an animal may improve your eating habits.

“In nursing homes, if there’s a fish tank where people are eating, seeing those fish actually motivates some residents to eat,” says Moore.

“在养老院里，如果人们吃饭的地方有一个鱼缸，看到那些鱼实际上会激励一些居民进食，”Moore 说。

The result of recent research supports the view.

最近的研究结果支持了这一观点。

It shows that the people who ate near their pets improved some of their eating patterns.

研究表明，在宠物附近吃饭的人改善了他们的一些饮食习惯。

⑤ A good relationship with your animal friends may lead to better relations with humans.
