2024考研英语同源外刊4月:争分夺秒的化妆技巧

Dawn breaks. You wake, hand flapping mechanically across the bedside table for your iPhone. The clock reads 8.18am and you realise, somewhere between reading Goodnight Moon and ladling potato skins into the food bin last night, you forgot to set your alarm and have to leave in 12 minutes. No matter. As both a parent and a person who aims to look vaguely passable, here's how I regularly get ready in 10.

黎明破晓。你醒了，手在床头柜上机械地拍打着你的iPhone。时钟显示早上8点18分，你意识到，昨晚在读《晚安，月亮》和把土豆皮舀进食物垃圾桶的某个时候，你忘了设置闹钟，12分钟后必须要离开。不管了。作为一个为人父母的人，同时也是一个希望让自己看起来勉强过得去的人，以下是我经常在10分钟内做好的准备方法。

If you just got up, you will look like you just got up, so you need to de-crease your face – in every sense. The fastest way to do this is ice. I have a John Lewis basin in the kitchen which I fill with ice cubes and water and I simply plunge my face into it and hold my breath until my face starts to hurt or I start to panic. Remove, and pat softly with a muslin cloth. There's a temptation to take a shower, but do not. It's a honey trap and, in your haste, you'll almost certainly panic and slip. Instead, run your hairbrush under a cold tap, brush your hair and then dry it with a round, ceramic brush. It will take one minute – enough time to boil the kettle.

如果你刚刚起床，你会看起来像刚刚起床，所以你需要减少你脸上的皱纹——从任何意义上说。较快的方法就是用冰。我在厨房里有一个约翰·刘易斯的脸盆，我把它装满冰块和水，然后把脸伸进去，屏住呼吸，直到我的脸开始疼，或者开始恐慌。移开，并用薄棉布轻轻拍打。有一种想洗澡的诱惑，但不要这样做。这是一个美人计，在你的匆忙中，你几乎肯定会惊慌而滑倒。相反，你可以在冷水龙头下用发刷刷头发，然后用圆形的陶瓷发刷把头发弄干。这需要一分钟——足够把水壶烧开了。

You should know that a 10-step beauty routine is nonsense but, if not, now's a good time to learn. My speedy alternative involves the following: pop one pair of Patchology eye gels under my eyes for a minute; remove; smudge the residual gunk from these all over my face; apply moisturiser over the rest; brush teeth and curl lashes while all the stuff dries.

你应该知道，10步美容程序是无稽之谈，但如果不知道，现在是学习的好时机。我的快速替代方案包括：在我的眼睛下面放一对保湿眼膜一分钟;去掉;把眼膜残留物涂在脸上;在其余的地方涂上保湿霜;等所有的东西都干了再刷牙和卷睫毛。
