Cosmetic surgery (整容手术) is not something to be entered into lightly. Unfortunately, in this modem world, we have become confused by very narrow standards of beauty. Images of celebrities who never seem to age are seen everywhere these days. We forget the fact that most of these images are the result of super photo manipulation (处理), driven by the incredibly powerful beauty industry. We are all different — why should we all look the same? Isn’t there more to life than undergoing surgery in order to have the same boring face that everybody else wants to have?

—Dr Elisabeth McKenna, Psychologist

Yes, it’s fake! That’s what I told my friends when they started asking me about my nose job. I’d always been sensitive to my nose, but it took me a long time before I decided to go for cosmetic surgery. I took advice from several doctors and after careful consultation I finally decided to have it done. I had been saving money from my part-time job and my parents helped me out with the rest. It was quite expensive but I don’t regret a penny of it. In fact I wish I’d had it done a few years ago. I’ m sure I wouldn’t have been teased so much at school.

—Debbie Caron, Student

It makes me really angry to think of the millions of people who spend a fortune on cosmetic surgery. Surgery should be carried out for medical purposes, not vanity (虚荣心). I would rather all the money spent on cosmetic surgery was available to treat people around the world who are in need but can’t get proper medical treatment. Furthermore, there are thousands of under-qualified surgeons out there who only care about getting as rich as possible as quickly as possible. They don’t care about the psychological and physical damage they do. The whole industry makes me sick. We should do something to ban it.

—Danny Glass, Student

美容外科(整容手术) 不是一件可以轻易进入的事情。不幸的是，在这个现代世界里，我们已经被非常狭隘的美标准所困惑。如今，似乎从未衰老的名人形象随处可见。我们忘记了这样一个事实，即这些图像中的大多数都是超级照片处理的结果(处理), 在强大的美容行业的推动下。我们都不一样——为什么我们看起来都一样？生活中难道没有比为了拥有别人都想拥有的无聊面孔而接受手术更多的东西吗？

--Elisabeth McKenna博士，心理学家

是的，它是假的！当我的朋友开始问我鼻子整形的事时，我就是这么告诉他们的。我一直对自己的鼻子很敏感，但我花了很长时间才决定去做整容手术。我听取了几位医生的建议，经过仔细的会诊，我最终决定做这件事。我一直在从兼职工作中省钱，剩下的都是我父母帮我做的。这很贵，但我一分钱也不后悔。事实上，我真希望几年前就做完了。我确信我在学校不会被取笑那么多。

--Debbie Caron，学生

想到数百万人在整容手术上花了一大笔钱，我真的很生气。手术应该是为了医疗目的，而不是虚荣(虚荣心). 我宁愿花在整容手术上的所有钱都能用来治疗世界各地有需要但无法得到适当治疗的人。此外，还有成千上万的不合格外科医生，他们只关心尽快致富。他们不在乎他们所造成的心理和身体伤害。整个行业让我恶心。我们应该采取措施禁止它。
