Alan：That woman is a very good singer.

Bob：Yes, but she looks like a man.

Alan：What difference does it make?

Bob：Female singers are supposed to be pretty.

Alan：Singers are supposed to sound good.

Bob：They should look good, too.

Alan：There are lots of ugly men singers.

Bob：Men singers don’t have to look good.

Alan：Then neither do women singers.

Bob：Well, I would never buy her CD.

Alan：But you would buy her CD if she was pretty?

Bob：Yes, I would buy all of her CDs.

Alan：That’s really skin-deep.

對話

只看外表太膚淺

阿倫：這位女士是個很不錯的歌手。

鮑伯：是的，但她看起來像個男人。

阿倫：這有什麼影響嗎？

鮑伯：女歌手都應該要長得不錯。

阿倫：歌手都應該「聽起來」不錯。

鮑伯：他們也應該很好看才行。

阿倫：有很多醜的男歌手。

鮑伯：男歌手不必好看。

阿倫：那女歌手也不必非得好看。

鮑伯：反正，我絕對不會買她的CD。

阿倫：如果她長得漂亮，你就會買？

鮑伯：是的，我會買她所有的唱片。

阿倫：還真是以貌取人啊！
