壹蘋派生活美語　學生該化妝嗎？

　　In the picture, a female student is sitting in a classroom. She is applying lipstick while looking into a small mirror. Judging from the smile on her face, she is very pleased with her appearance. This is probably because she believes the makeup makes her look prettier and more confident. It’s also possible that this behavior is influenced by social media or pop culture. In my opinion, wearing makeup can improve students’ images and increase their chances of leaving a good impression on others.

　　在這張照片中，一位女學生正坐在教室裡。她正一邊照小鏡子一邊塗口紅。從她臉上的笑容來看，她非常滿意她的樣貌。這可能是因為她相信化妝讓她看起來更漂亮、更有自信。這種行為也可能是受到社群媒體或流行文化影響。在我看來，化妝可以改善學生的形象並增加留給他人好印象的機會。
