北師大版高中英語(yǔ)模塊6--Uint 18 Beauty Lesson1-1 [00:00.00]Uint 18 Beauty [00:04.43]Lesson 1 What Is Beauty? [00:09.07]Beauty is in the eye of the beholder [00:12.60]In 1878,when Margaret Wolfe Hungerford wrote, [00:16.77]"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", [00:19.70]she argued that individual opinions varied [00:22.30]about what accounted for beauty. [00:25.11]Standards of beauty change across [00:26.91]different times and differernt cultures. [00:30.41]Traditions and fashions.like society itself, [00:34.13]change and adapt with time. [00:36.26]so it is reasonable that [00:37.41]our perceptions of beauty change as well. [00:41.13]In 19th century Europe, [00:42.78]women used to wear corsets [00:44.12]to achieve a body-shape, [00:46.00]that is no longer considered to be desirable. [00:50.06]Men would wear woollen shawls [00:51.62]across their shoulders. [00:53.52]It is hard to imagine [00:54.62]that they would be seen as attractive [00:56.13]in the 21st century. [00:58.63]Nowadays,it is estimated that [01:00.37]in the Western world, [01:02.10]one in every ten people have tattoos [01:04.93]or a form of body art. [01:07.50]In the past,some cultures use to [01:09.35]mark criminals with tattoos, [01:11.43]so that they could be easily [01:12.90]identified and avoided, [01:15.26]certainly not so that they would be admired!
