Lots of people feel entitled to comment on a woman's appearance -- especially if that woman happens to be taller than them.
很多人覺得對女人的外表評頭論足是理所應當的,如果這個女人還是個高妹的話,那就更應該要評一評。
Just as skinny women are tired of being told to “eat a burger” or that they “look like a toothpick,” and short women cringe when someone asks “what the weather's like down there,” taller women are subject to giraffe jokes and questions about their femininity.
就像瘦子已經厭倦了別人說“你應該去吃漢堡”或者“你瘦得像根牙簽”;矮個子的女人不喜歡別人問她們“下面的空氣是什么樣的”,高妹也常常聽到和長頸鹿有關的玩笑話,還有關于有沒有女人味的質疑。
