做女人真难啊！

It's hard being a woman!

女人这辈子挺难的：漂亮点吧，太惹眼，不漂亮吧，拿不出手；学问高了，没人敢娶，学问低了，没人想要；活泼点吧，说你招蜂引蝶，矜持点吧，说你装腔作势；会打扮，说你是妖精，不会打扮，说你没女人味；

Life of a woman is very difficult; If she is beautiful, she is considered conspicuous. If she is not beautiful, she is not presentable. If she is too educated, one will be afraid to marry her. If she is not educated enough, on one will want to marry her. If she is extroverted, she is bewitching. If she acts with contraint, people will say she is just pretending. If she knows how to dress herself, people will say she is a witch. If she doesn't know how to dress herself, people will say she is not womanly enough

自已挣钱吧，男人望而却步，靠男人养吧，说你傍大款；生孩子，怕被老板炒鱿鱼，不生孩子，怕被老公炒鱿鱼。胖了，怕别人骂成“胖婆”；瘦了，又不性感。高了，怕自己找男友的范围直线缩小；矮了，怕自己买衣服总要花两块钱去改裤脚。长的漂亮，怕红颜命薄；长的不漂亮，又怕整容术价格太高。

If she supports herself, man will be intiminated. If she depends on the man, people will say she's only pretending to be generious. If she bore a child, she is afraid to be fire by the boss. If she doesn't bore a child, she is afraid to be fire by the husband. If she is a little fat, others will call her "fat woman". If she is skinny, she is not sexy enough. If she is tall, she's afraid that her potiential boyfriend range will become smaller. If she is short, she's afraid that everytime she buys clothes she will have to spend two extra dollars/yuan to tailor the pants. If she is beautiful, she's afraid of the old verse "beauty died young". If she is not beautiful, she's afraid that the rate for plastic surgery is too high.

可爱型的，怕自己永远长不大，没有成熟女人的风韵；风韵型的，怕自己老的太快，每天报着天线宝宝装可爱。会做家务的，怕别人觉得自己不够清高，仿佛天生就是一个保姆；不会做家务的，怕男友夸赞谁谁女朋友的菜烧得很好吃。

If she is the cute type, she's afraid she will never grow up and will never have the poise of mature woman. If she is the sexy type, she's afraid she grows old too quickly and she will hug the Teletubby all day pretending to be cute. If she knows how to do house chores, she's afraid that she is not classy enough and thinks that she is a natural maid. If she doesn't know how to do house chores, she's afraid that her boyfriend will complement how other people's girlfriends can cook very well.

喜欢上网的，怕别人觉得自己生活太空虚，一定没人追求，无聊之极；不喜欢上网的，怕别人说自己老土，而且出去吃饭讲不出几个笑话。有男朋友，怕万一遇到一个更好的怎么办；没有男朋友，担心是不是嫁不出去。找了有钱的男朋友，怕别人说自己贪图钱财、傍大款；找了没钱的男朋友，又怕自己受委屈。

If she loves to go online, she's afraid that others will think her real life is too boring, no one is attractive to her, and that she is boring. If she doesn't like to go online, she's afraid that others will say that she is behind and she can't make a joke when she goes out. If she has a boyfriend, she doesn't know what to do if she meets someone better. If she doesn't have a boyfriend, she's afraid that she will never get marry. If she finds a rich boyfriend, she's afraid that others will thinking she only cares about money. If she finds a poor boyfriend, she's afraid that he will not be good enough for her.

总之，做女人真难！！祝女士们三八节快乐!

So the conclusion is, being a woman is hard! Happy 3-8 Woman's holiday to all ladies!!
