the lack of today I wanted to speak to my fellow "no curves" girls out there you know

好啦其實是，我想對所有「沒身材」的朋友喊話

the girls without the hourglass figure, who have the A cups, and the tiny butts you're

前不凸後不翹，只有A罩杯，屁股又小

the ladies I'm speaking to today and even if you're not one of those ladies, tune in

你們就是我今天的聽眾！即使你不是他們其中一員

it's an important message. I wanted to make this video today because I feel like it's

也不要轉臺！我有重要資訊想要跟大家說。拍這個影片是因為

a topic that's not frequently addressed. And I know from personal experience it can be

很少人談及這個主題。我個人經驗是

easy to feel bad about yourself in a world that hyper-sexualizes everyone, men and women.

在這個過度性別化的世界裡，很容易失去自信心

I'm still not a very "curvy" person, but in middle school I was very very thin and especially

我不算是身材玲瓏有緻的人，但在中學時期，我很瘦很瘦

guys would make fun of me a lot. They'd call me flat chested or they'd yell across the

瘦到男生很愛拿我開玩笑，他們會笑我是飛機場

room saying who would ever like a girl without curves. Mean things like that; mean middle

或是隔空對我大喊「身材乾癟沒人愛」，這種傷人、國中生愛講的酸言酸語

school things. And I remember girls in the locker room comparing bra sizes and I overhear

我還記得當時女同學會在換衣間比較罩杯的尺寸，而我也偷聽到

all the time people secretly teasing strangers because their butt doesn't resemble Beyonce's.

他們會嘲笑那些屁股不像碧昂絲一樣翹的陌生人

Which is ridiculous because who could honestly resemble Beyonce in any way shape or form?

這實在很荒謬，畢竟誰真的可以像碧昂絲一樣前凸後翹啊？

Being a girl who doesn't have huge curves is a bit of an odd place to be in and I think

身為一個女生，卻沒有好看的曲線，看似是件很糟糕的事

personally this is because society, especially as of lately, has a really weird ideal of

我個人認為是因為現今的社會，尤其是最近，已經形成了一種對「完美女性」

what the "perfect woman" is. Tina Fey described it best in her book "Bossypants" when she

的詭異刻板印象。蒂娜菲在她的暢銷書「大小姐」裡提到

said

大家都認為女生就是該有清澈的藍眼睛、豐厚嘴唇、挺拔鼻子、光滑皮膚以及加州風情的古銅膚色、雷鬼電臀、修長勻稱的雙腿、迷你可愛的小腳、結實的腹肌、小孩的柔軟屁屁以及第一夫人蜜雪兒的精壯手臂。

And

而最符合上述條件的人就是金．卡黛珊，她是經由俄羅斯科學家的巧手下的人工美女，而其他人也都在掙扎當中。

though this quote by the amazing Tina Fey whose book you should really read, is humorous

雖然蒂娜菲在書裡所說的純屬幽默（個人十分推薦這本書！）

I do think it perfectly describes that there are all these qualities of the "perfect woman"

我非常認同她所提到關於「完美女人」的特質

but having them all together is very unrealistic and it ends up leaving almost every woman

但同時兼具所有特質近乎不可能，而這也讓幾乎所有女人

out there feeling really crappy about themselves and feeling inadequate in some way. Even Kim

覺得自己不夠好，仍有很大的進步空間。

Kardashian I am sure has felt sucky about her body sometimes. So on one hand, if you're

即使像金．卡黛珊有時也會對自己的身體感到不滿意。

a girl with a more slender body type you might be regarded as thin and seen in a more positive

所以，如果你身材苗條，就會被社會大眾認為是美的，因為普遍價值觀認為

light because society places more value on women's thinness. But on the other hand, that

「瘦」即是「美」。但就另一方面來說，

same woman with a slender body type might be seen as possibly starving herself, people

一個身材苗條的女人也可能被認為過度節食

might make accusatory claims saying she needs to eat a burger or that she looks underfed,

人們可能會因此責怪她為什麼不多吃點，或是看起來營養不良

she looks like a skeleton, something is "wrong" with her. Or she might be seen as not a "real

像個骷髏頭般，一定出了什麼問題。或者她可能不被認同成「真正的女人」。

woman" because apparently a real woman has big butts and big boobs. And I don't know

因為女人就應該有翹臀跟豐滿的胸部。我不知道一個人該怎麼

how you have multiple butts, don't know why I pluralized that but a real woman apparently

擁有很多類型的屁股，但很明顯的，一個真正的女人

has more than two butts - two or more butts. That's a thing. I see a lot of people doing

應該要有很多種屁股，兩種以上。這就是重點。

this with celebrities like Ariana Grande and it's really sad to see. I can't understand

很多名人，像是雅利安娜就是如此，而我很不樂見這種情況。

why people feel like it's their right to shame someone else's body; another person's body.

我不明白人們怎麼會覺得自己有權利去批評別人的身材？

It's not yours to comment on. Ariana is beautiful and your comments comparing her to a prepubescent

那根本不干你的事！雅利安娜很美，而卻有人說她的身材像是發育未全的青少年小男生

boy is wrong, it's rude, and it is a form of bullying. Just like fat-shaming, skinny-shaming

這簡直大錯特錯，而且非常失禮，可以說是一種霸凌。就像歧視胖子、瘦子

is a thing and it's not okay. And for those who claim to be looking out for someone's

的問題都該被正視，無法忽略！而那些看似關心他們健康

health when they make those statements "Oh you need to go eat a burger!" "Oh I think

會說出「你應該多吃點漢堡！」、「噢我想她應該得了厭食症」

she's anorexic!" "Ugh she looks like a skeleton!" Those type of things. There's a huge difference

「她瘦的跟骷顱頭一樣」這種言論的人，我想告訴你們

between genuinely looking for someone's health and bullying. If you're genuinely concerned

關心別人的身體健康和霸凌是兩碼子事！如果你今天在意他的身體狀況

for someone's health, go seek them out privately and talk to them or go talk to a counselor

請你私底下給予關心、或是尋找諮商師的幫助

so they can get some help. That's going to be a lot more effective than publicly shaming

這樣他們才能真正改善問題。這遠比在網路上或是當面

them online or in person because that's just going to worsen any problems that already

公然羞辱來得有效多了！否則只會讓問題更加惡化

exist. But back to the "real woman" thing that I was talking about earlier. It's always

回歸正題，關於先前提到「真正的女人」

so frustrating to me, because I see these posts on Facebook and Instagram, when I see

對我來說是件很挫折的事，因為我看到臉書、IG上面的貼文寫著

things saying that "oh a real woman has a booty" a real woman this, a real woman that

「真正的女人應該有顆像樣的屁股」，真正的女人應該怎樣怎樣

blah blah blah blah you know what that is, that's a bunch of you get it. So I'm here

你知道的，這全部都是bulls*it

to settle the debate once and for all. Do you identify as a woman? Yes, okay perfect.

所以我希望可以永遠平息這場無止盡的爭論。你認爲自己是個女人嗎？對？完美

Go to a mirror and then look at that reflection. See that figure staring back at you? That's

去站到鏡子前，看著鏡子中的人，她是不是也看著你？

what a real woman looks like. Congratulations! We figured this out together. Unless you turned

這就是「真正的女人」。恭喜你！我們一起找到解答了！

around whispering "bloody Mary" three times in the dark then that figure you're seeing

除非你在黑暗中轉過身默念「血腥瑪莉」三次，然後看見鏡中的人是個鬼

is a ghost and you need to run! If you're a woman who possesses atoms that make up matter,

那你最好趕快跑！或是你全身上下是由原子所組成

then congratulations, you're a real woman! Crazy, I know. So my message for my fellow

那就恭喜啦！你完全就是個女人！很白痴吧！所以我想要對那些「沒身材」的女生們喊話：

"no curves" girls out there is that your bodies are valid; they are beautiful and they represent

你的身體無庸置疑，是非常美麗的，它們也象徵著

what a real woman looks like, and that real woman is you. Everybody's bodies are built

「真女人」應該有的模樣。而你，就是一個真正的女人。每個人的身體多少都有差異

differently. We're different and that's what makes us so awesome. Imagine how boring the

我們是全然不同的個體，而這也造就了獨一無二的我們。想像一下：

world would be if we all looked the exact same. The fact is that no matter what you

如果今天全世界的人都長得一樣，那會有多無聊！重點就是，無論你做什麼

do, no matter what you look like, there's always, always going to be someone who has

無論你長得如何，總會有人對你有意見

something bad to say about you. There's always going to be someone with a negative opinion

總會有人對你說出負面的評論

because that's how people work. Some people just can't be pleased and once you realize

因為現實狀況就是如此。有些人就是永遠無法滿足，而一旦你了解

that you can't please the world you'll realize you can please yourself though. And you do

自己無法討好全世界，你將會明白讓自己開心才是最重要的。

have the power to love yourself and no one out there can take that power away from you.

你絕對有資格去愛自己，也沒有人可以剝奪這項權利。

But yeah, that's it for my little speech. I really wanted to make that video because

所以囉，這就是我想說的。我真的很想做這支影片

I'd seen a lot of self hatred online for people's bodies and not being happy with what they

因為我在網路上看到太多人們厭惡自己的身材、不滿意自己的長相。

looked like. I think this is a message I would've really liked to hear when I was younger and

我很希望自己在年輕時就有這個概念

I was learning to accept my body and be comfortable with it. I'm at a point now where I'm so much

「學習接受自己的身材並且喜歡它」。

more comfortable with it, and I'm okay that I'm not going to be the curviest girl out

我現在很滿意自己的模樣，當不成最辣的女生也沒有關係

there; that's fine with me. But there's a lot of people out there who are learning to

我一點都不在意。但事實上仍有很多人正在努力去學習

be okay with what they look like and I hope that they get there; I hope they can learn

如何接受自己的樣貌，而我希望他們能早日成功。

to love themselves and be okay with being different. Because that's kind of what makes

我希望他們可以學會愛自己，並接受每個人都是特別的。因為這才是

you awesome. I'm rambling, so I'm going to wrap up this video. I hope you guys liked

你最棒的地方，你跟別人不一樣！噢我又開始碎碎唸了，我要趕快讓這支影片進入尾聲
