"美麗不只限於外表" 這句諺語可追溯到英國詩人, 散文家THOMASOVERBURY,(1581-1613)約1定6定1定3定年所寫的詩篇<妻子>(AWIFE). 此格言有多種其他的變化形式: Beauty is but skin-deep. Beauty is only skin-deep in the eye of the beholder. Beauty isn't always skin-deep. Beauty is only skin-deep, but ugly goes to the bone. .... eg: beauty may be more than skin deep, but first impressions do make a difference. ---Debra Lee Baldwin, "Let's Face It. " Sunday Star-Ledger 美也許不只局限於外表, 但第壹印象的確會很重要. 有壹篇報道,與妳的題目很類似,稍加改動,也許可以當演講稿使用,現摘錄如下,僅供參考. Burn victims show that beauty is more than skin deep August 3, 2006 - While some burn victims may feel like outcasts, one survivor wants people to know they are just like everyone else. From a medical standpoint the experiences can be grueling. From a psychological perspective it can be more traumatizing. "What's the difference between boogers and broccoli with little kids?" said Lonnie Boyd,14. "Kids won't eat broccoli." Lonnie Boyd has an amazing personality, especially considering everything he has been through. "On my brother Devon's birthday in 1995, our house caught on fire and there was no way for us to get out so we were trapped," Lonnie said. He and Devon got out, but not their two-month-old sister Stormy. Eighty percent of Lonnie's body was burned. He and his brother became a patient at Larabida's Hospital on Chicago's South Side. "I had to go through a lot of surgery," said Lonnie. "A lot of rehab exercises and I went though many things. Emotional distress, guilt and all different type of emotions." Grandmother Doris Murray says it was hard for the boys to grow up. "They had to wear what's referred to as Jobes skin tight and they would have to go out into the community with these masks and honestly the children would become so frightened," she said. "My heart would always just ache inside," said Doris. "When they felt rejected because of how they looked, they learned to approach people staring at them by saying, 'Hi I'm Devon, I'm Lonnie, I'm a burn survivor, how are you?'." Dr. Brad Stolbach is the child psychologist at Larabida. He says a significant part of the healing process for burn patients is dealing with other people. "Because they look different, a lot of burn survivors find ways to educate people with what's happened to them and the fact that they're not scary and people don't have to be afraid of them," said Dr. Stolbach. Lonnie and his brother Devon are incredible survivors. "I think they are perfect examples of people who have had horrible experiences and have not let it define them," said Dr. Stolbach. "They have moved on from it and can talk about it in order to help other people who have gone through similar things." "He'll tell you 'I'm a handsome guy and I say you're a very handsome guy, " said Doris of her son. Later this month, Lonnie will be joining his brother at Loyola Acade
