  课文内容

  A popular story is often told to children about a prince who has been turned into<注1> a frog. When the frog asks a princess to kiss him, she says“no”because the frog is too ugly. But the frog finally gets his kiss, turns backsintosa handsome prince, and the princess agrees<注2> to marry him. This story has a powerful<注3> message: Good-looking people get the best things in life.

  Ordinary<注4> people are not as lucky as the prince. If you look like a frog, not even a hundred kisses from a princess will change that. In the real world, the way you look is important. Studies have found that good-looking people make friends more easily. Also, how much money people make, or how successful they are, often has something to do with their looks.<注5>

青蛙或王子 你选哪一个?(1)

  翻译

  一个广为流传的关于王子被变成青蛙的故事经常被讲给孩子们听。当青蛙请求一位公主吻他时,公主因为青蛙太丑而拒绝。但青蛙最终得到了亲吻,变回了一个英俊的王子,然后公主答应嫁给他。这个故事蕴含着一个强烈的寓意:长得好看的人得到生活中最美好的东西。

  普通人并不像王子那样幸运。如果你看起来像只青蛙,即使公主的一百个吻也不会改变这一点。在现实世界中,你的外表很重要。研究发现好看的人比较容易交到朋友。另外,人们赚多少钱,或有多么成功,通常都跟他们的外表有点关系。

  Sentence_4u

  have sth. to do with“与……有关”,例如:

  I think Tom had something to do with Sam getting the job.我想萨姆得到这份工作和汤姆有关。
