Beauty Tips from Supermodel Cindy Crawford

超级名模的靓丽诀窍

When I met supermodel Cindy Crawford, I was amazed that her skin was so perfectly¹ smooth that she appeared not to have pores.

当我见到超模辛迪·克劳馥时，我被她完美光滑的肌肤震惊了，看上去几乎没有小毛孔。

She sits in one of the Hilton's best rooms and there are no light tricks used to make a photographic subject more beautiful than humanly possible.

她坐在希尔顿酒店里最好的一间房子里，这里没有灯光效果，不能通过摄影技术让人达到超脱自然的美。

This is Crawford without any makeup². Her full brows are arched with what seems to be military precision, the teeth are toothpaste-ad white, the eyes are melted-chocolate brown and the newly washed hair is ever so shining.

这时的克劳馥没有化妆。她眉毛的弯度很精确，似乎达到军事化的精度，牙齿和广告中的洁白一样，眼睛是融化了的巧克力色，刚洗过的头发是如此闪亮。

It is really only the beauty tips that matter when you are in a room with a woman who is constantly honored as one of the world's most beautiful.

当你和一位荣获世界上最美貌桂冠的女性同处一室时，你唯一想知道的就是保持美貌的秘诀。

Certainly she is one of the world's best-paid women whose job it is to look good.

她也理所当然地成为世界上报酬最高的女性之一，她的工作看上去很不错。

So how does she look so good?

那么她是如果让自己看上去那么好的呢？

"I take care of myself. I drink a lot of water, I make sure I get enough sleep, I don't smoke, I'm not really a party girl, I exercise..." she says. "I work out three times a week. I think that is effective for me for maintenance."

“我会很好的照顾自己，喝大量的水，确保充足的睡眠，我不吸烟，也不常参加聚会，我常锻炼……” 她说道。“我每周出门工作三天。我想这些都能有效地保持美貌。”

Water, exercise and sleep aside, her secret is far more basic.

除了水，运动和睡眠，她的秘诀还有更简单的东西。

"I've got good genes³. I'm lucky, my mum looks great, my three sisters look good." The genes would account for her lack of crow's feet or any other visible fine line. It is hard to believe her to be a mother of two kids.

“我有好的基因。我很幸运，我妈妈很好看，我的三个姐妹也是。”基因决定了她没有眼角的鱼尾纹和其他任何可见的细纹。很难相信她是两个孩子的母亲。
