◎張其賢
The French think they are good looking.
法國人認為他們很好看。
Eight out of 10 French people check their looks in the mirror at least once a day and say they like what they see, a survey by polling group BVA published recently showed.
10個法國人中，有8個人每天至少對鏡子查看自己的容貌一次，並對所見感到滿意，最近公佈的一份由民調團體BVA進行的調查顯示。
Men seem to be more content than women, with 88 percent of them saying they like their looks-compared to 73 percent of women.
男性似乎比女性更感到滿意，88%的男性說他們喜歡自己的容貌，與此相比，只有73%的女性這麼說。
While a majority of women are happy overall with their appearance, only 1 percent think of themselves as beautiful and just 11 percent say they are feminine, the survey of 954 people showed.
雖然多數女性對自己的容貌整體而言感到滿意，卻只有1%的女性認為自己美麗，只有11%的女性說自己有女人味，這份對954人進行的調查顯示。
Despite people's overall satisfaction when looking into the mirror, some 42 percent in the croissant and cheese-loving nation said they wanted to shed some weight. One person in 10 said they checked their weight every day.
儘管人們在照鏡子時整體而言感到滿意，這個愛吃牛角麵包和乳酪的國家卻有超過42%的人說，他們想甩掉一些體重。每10個人中有1人說自己每天檢查體重。
新聞辭典
look：動詞，看起來，例句：He looked a little tired.（他看起來有點累。）look在文中也作名詞，指「外貌」，例句：He checked out his look in the reflection of a car window.（他對著一處車窗映影檢查他的容貌。）從上述這兩種意思衍生出good looking這個形容詞，指「好看的」，如：good looking man/woman（好看的男人/女人）。
be happy with A：片語，對A感到滿意，如：Are you happy with your new job?（你對新工作感到滿意嗎？）
feminine：形容詞，有女性特質的，陰性的，反義詞是masculine，如：I believe that everyone has both feminine and masculine instincts inside one's mind.（我相信每個人的心中都兼具女性和男性的本能。）女性主義就是feminism。
look into the mirror：片語，照鏡子。例句：When you look into the mirror, what do you see exactly?（當你照鏡子時，你究竟看到了什麼？）
