幡然醒悟的“離婚變裝”

　　很多女性在離婚后才猛然發(fā)現(xiàn)，自己已經(jīng)邋遢了好一段時間，和同一個男人過久的生活、天天為小孩服務(wù)的狀態(tài)讓她失去了打扮的熱情，所以決定從頭到尾進行一次divorce makeover(離婚變裝)，改變自己重新出發(fā)。

　　

　　Divorce makeover is the reinvention of a recently divorced woman from hairstyle, costumes to everything around her.

　　“離婚變裝”就是女性在離婚后從頭到腳的一次改變，從她的發(fā)型、她的服裝到她周圍的一切。

　　Recent survey says a woman's 'divorce makeover' costs £13,000. But Lucy Cavendish spent every penny of her savings on her new look. She spent £150 at hairdressers every six weeks and bought £500 dresses. Lucy also had her teeth done for £500 and enrolled on a course for £6,000. She said: 'Money might not heal a broken heart, but it sure does help!'

　　最近一項研究顯示，女性的離婚后的變裝會花掉13000英鎊。但露西·卡文迪什把她存款中的每一分錢都拿來改頭換面。她每六個星期就要在頭發(fā)上花掉150鎊，在置裝上花掉500鎊。為了她的牙齒她又花了500鎊，上課花掉了6000鎊。她說：“錢也許不能治愈我的心靈創(chuàng)傷，但起碼它起到了一定的作用。”

　　Many women didn’t realize their floppy appearance after a heartbroken marriage. Lucy wrote, “Emerging from the wreckage of this relationship, I took a long, hard look in the mirror and realized that the person I was had to go. This person had long, limp hair that didn’t appear to be cut in any recognizable style. She had a lumpy body that hadn’t properly moved in years and dressed like a dowdy farmer’s wife. This was, of course, an external expression of my inner state.”

　　很多女性直到一次令人心碎的離婚后才意識到自己已經(jīng)邋遢了很久，就像露西寫的，“經(jīng)受此次離婚的打擊后，我久久地凝視那個鏡子里的自己，突然覺得應(yīng)該讓那個自己成為過去。那個我有著長長的、軟塌塌的頭發(fā)，因為長期不修剪而毫無造型可言。那個我因為常年不運動有著笨重的身體，打扮也像個寒酸農(nóng)夫的妻子。那個形象，很明顯是我內(nèi)在狀態(tài)的外在表現(xiàn)。”

　　Lucy has no regrets about spending £65,000 on her post-divorce makeover. 'My reinvention is pretty much over, and it doesn’t really matter to me if I meet someone or not. I am happier and more confident and, in time, the romance will come', according to her.

　　露西對于花在自己離婚變裝上的65000英鎊并不覺得惋惜，她說：“我的改變差不多完成了，但其實我不在意是不是有新的約會。我更開心，更自信了，愛情或早或晚，一定會降臨我頭上。”
