Jasmine 是一个正值二十五岁的年轻女孩，爱漂亮是她的本性，而她总是想尽各种办法让自己的外观更好看，让自己更满意。有天她跟闺蜜 Shelly 聊到整形这件事情…
Jasmine: Shelly, I’m so jealous of your double eyelids! They look so beautiful.
Jasmine: Shelly，我好羡慕你的双眼皮！看起来超美的。
Shelly: Don’t be envious—I think your single eyelids suit you perfectly.

Jasmine: I hate them. I’m thinking about having double eyelid surgery.
Jasmine: 我就是不喜欢，所以我在考虑去割双眼皮。
Shelly: Well… if it’s what you want, then I won’t stand in your way. But think about it carefully—it’s permanent after all.
Shelly: 好，如果你想的话，我不会阻止你。但要仔细想一下，毕竟那是永久的。

Jasmine: Look, Shelly. Do you see that movie star on the billboard? She’s so hot, I wish I had boobs like hers. Maybe I should get a boob job as well…
Jasmine: Shelly 你看，你有看到广告看板上的明星吗？她超辣的，我希望我也有像她一样的胸部，或许我也该去隆乳。

have double eyelid surgery (phr.) 割双眼皮
你知道「双眼皮」的英文应该怎么说吗？ eyelid 是名词，「眼皮」的意思，double 是「两倍；双」的意思，两者合一 double eyelid 就是「双眼皮」的意思。而动什么手术，可以用 have … surgery 表示，surgery 是名词，意思是「手术」，为不可数名词，因此前面不能加冠词 a 或数量词。
Mindy just had a double eyelid surgery last weekend.
Mindy 上周末刚做了双眼皮的手术。
get a boob job (phr.) 隆乳
get a(n) … job 是「做…的整形手术」的口语化说法，所以 get a boob job 就是「做隆乳手术」，以此类推，中间的部位可以任意变换，例如：get a nose job (隆鼻)。
She has always wanted to get a boob job because she isn’t satisfied with her breasts the way they are.
她一直都想要去做隆乳因为她对自己的胸部很不满意。
plastic surgery (n.) 整形手术
plastic 是名词，英文常见的意思为「塑胶」，此字是由古希腊 plastikos 演变而来，原本意思是「使成形」。另一种说法是 cosmetic surgery，其中 cosmetic 意思是「美容的」，这种手术的主要目的是针对改善外表，而 plastic surgery 则有可能是为改善因意外造成的外表损伤。
There are pros and cons to consider when thinking about plastic surgery.
大家对做整形手术的看法正反都有。
在听完 Jasmine 说她想要整形之后，Shelly 决定跟她讨论整形的优缺点…
Shelly: Jasmine, listen to me. It’s normal that everyone wants himself or herself to look good, but having too much plastic surgery can harm your body.
Shelly: Jasmine，听我说，每个人都会想要让自己看起来更好看，这很正常，但是做太多整形手术可能会伤害到自己的身体。
Jasmine: How so?
Jasmine: 怎么说？
Shelly: I saw a report once about a girl who got a chin implant, a nose job and liposuction at the same time, but the surgery damaged her nerves and ended up paralyzing her face.
Shelly: 我有一次看到一个新闻有一个女孩一次做垫下巴、隆鼻、抽脂手术，但手术失败动到她的神经，导致她颜面瘫痪。
Jasmine: Really? I don’t want that…
Jasmine: 真的吗？我不想这样…
Shelly: I think it’s okay to have some minor pieces of cosmetic surgery—but even the world’s greatest surgeon can’t give you a personality transplant. Looks are only a small part of who you are.
Shelly: 我觉得做一些小整形手术没关系，但就算是全世界最厉害的整形医生也没办法帮移植你的个性，外表也只是你的一部分。
Jasmine: You’re right, Shelly. You’ve really given me a lot to think about.
Jasmine: 有道理，你让我知道要多想想了。
get a chin implant (phr.) 垫下巴
chin 是名词，「下巴」的意思，implant 意思则是「植入；灌输」，因为「垫下巴」是在下巴植入异物。
She is not satisfied with her chin, so she has decided to get a chin implant.
她对自己的下巴不是很满意，所以她决定去垫下巴。
get a nose job (phr.) 隆鼻
如上面所提到，get a(n) … job 是「做…的整形手术」，故 get a nose job 顾名思义就是「隆鼻」的意思。
She wants to get a nose job because she thinks her nose looks too big.
她想要隆鼻因为她觉得自己的鼻子太大了。
liposuction (n.) 抽脂手术
liposuction /ˈlaɪpəˌsʌkʃən/ 为抽脂手术，此字字根为 suction (吸，抽吸)。
Liposuction is a type of surgery that sucks the fat out from under your skin.
抽脂手术是要把皮肤下的脂肪抽出。
