私のブログタイトル Beauty Tips.
オードーリーヘップバーンによる朗読をTVなどで聞くことが多いせいか、
オードリーの言葉のようなイメージを受けますが、
実際はアメリカの詩人サム・レヴィンソンが孫娘に書いた手紙なんですね。
"Time Tested Beauty Tips"
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone ...
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived,
reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed ...
Never throw out anybody.
Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands.
One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows,
and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

毎回、私なりの解釈と訳で一節づつ取り上げていこうかなと思います。
今日は、
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
「魅力的な唇は、美しい言葉を話すためにあるのです。」
優しい言葉を話す唇は、魅力的ですよね。
今の私は、忙しかったりするとついつい強い口調になりがちなので
優しい言葉を話すような「良い癖」をつけたいなと思います。
