詹姆斯:没什么特别的。你呢?
格蕾丝:我还可以。谢谢。你有听说关于简的消息吗?
詹姆斯:事实上我好久都没见到她了。你知道她现在在干嘛吗?
格蕾丝:我听说她到韩国去做整形手术了。
詹姆斯:哦,我的天哪!真是不敢相信。我只是从电视上听过关于整形手术,从没想过它会发生在自己周围。
格蕾丝:是的,不过这在国内近几年非常流行。并且韩国的整形手术是最先进的。
詹姆斯:我听说几乎所有的韩国女星都做过整形术。
格蕾丝:但是我仍然喜欢自然美女。她们看起来更加健康。我感觉韩国女明星们都大同小异。
詹姆斯:我和你的想法是一样的。但是还是要祝愿简手术成功。

A Japanese woman has undergone a startling physical transformation that has so far involved more than 30 cosmetic procedures at a cost of 10 million yen or$102,000.
一名日本女模花费1000万日元(10.2万美元),历经30余次整形手术,完成了惊艳“变身”。
The lady, a model known as Vanilla Chamu, has said she intends to keep having surgeries until she has achieved her lifelong goal-to look like a French doll.
该模特名叫瓦尼拉·沙米,以看起来像法国洋娃娃为人生目标,为此,她打算不断整形达成愿望。
Photos of Vanilla prior to her first procedures reveal a rather mousy Japanese teenager whose facial features are virtually unrecognizable from the bizarre and undoubtedly more‘western-looking’appearance that she now possesses.
手术前,瓦尼拉的照片看起来是个很不起眼的少女,术后摇身一变,拥有了光鲜亮丽的“西式”相貌,完全判若两人。
Certain plastic surgery treatments, including double-eyelid surgery and nose jobs, are increasingly popular amongst Asian woman wishing to look more western.
对渴望看起来更“洋气”的亚洲女性来说,双眼皮手术、鼻子整形手术等整容治疗越来越受青睐。

购买国际机票时注意事项
1、如何选择航空公司:
飞往一个城市,往往有很多选择,直飞或从其他城市转飞,在这种情况下最好选择直飞的航班,这样可以节约时间和减少起降的次数以及转换飞机所带来的不便。
2、如何进行价格选择:
如果是自费旅游并且时间已经订好,则可以选择在价格上比较优惠的机票。对于因公出国的商务乘客来讲,选择最优惠价格的机票有的时候会带来一些不便,因为越便宜的机票相对而言限制也就越多,有的机票不能签转,有的不能改期或者改期要收取费用,有的不能退票,这些对于商务乘客就不合适了。
3、最优惠的机票在积累里程方面有很多限制:
例如有的特价舱位积累的里程相对较少或者就不能积累里程,而经常飞行的乘客在积累了大量的飞行里程之后是可以进行升舱或得到免费机票的。
2.申请签证 Applying for a Visa
各个国家的入境签证办理要求大同小异,除了要有发自该国的邀请函外,大致需要具备以下材料:有效期6个月以上的个人护照;护照照片5-10张;申请人的身份证。全家户口的复印件及家庭成员情况等;所在单位出具的有法人代表签字并加盖公章的担保信等。如果不是旺季办理旅游签证的整个周期大概会在1周左右。
