中國人向來崇尚“一白遮三丑”,以白為美。你是否因?yàn)樽约旱哪w色稍微有點(diǎn)黝黑而自慚形穢、缺乏自信，甚至有過被嘲諷的經(jīng)歷呢？一名來自塞內(nèi)加爾的黑人中學(xué)生就有過成長(zhǎng)過程中多次被嘲諷、起綽號(hào)的經(jīng)歷。那么，她是如何面對(duì)欺凌，又是如何看待自己的膚色的呢？

Khoudia Diop is a 19-year-old Senegalese model who was once bullied because of her color.But now the selfcalled “Melanin Goddess” is taking the Internet by storm with her beautifully rich skin color.

“I was laughed at a lot growing up,because of my skin color,”Khoudia,who works in Paris at the moment,told the Daily Mail.“And now even online sometimes,people will make comments.Growing up,I faced it by facing the bullies.As I grew,I learned to love myself more every day,and not pay attention to the negative people.”Since then Khoudia,who started modelling when she was 17,has won the Internet with her beautiful pictures that have brought her a following of over 235k on Instagram（一款照片分享軟件）.She’s also encouraging people to take their differences,writing that“If you’re lucky enough to be different,don’t ever change.”We couldn’t agree more.

“They called me darky,daughter of the night.”

“The message I have for my sisters is that how you look doesn’t matter,as long as you feel beautiful inside.”

“One of my goals is to make all my dark-skinned sisters out there and laugh at those with their ‘beauty standards’.”

Khoudia only started modelling 2 years ago when she was just 17,but she already has over 235k followers on Instagram.

◆典句賞析

1.Since then Khoudia,who started modelling when she was 17,has won the Internet with her beautiful pictures that have brought her a following of over 235k on Instagram（一款照片分享軟件）.柯迪亞17歲時(shí)開始做模特，此后她獲得了互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的青睞，她在照片分享軟件上的美麗的照片為她贏得了超過235000個(gè)粉絲。

句子“who started modelling when she was 17”是非限制性定語從句，對(duì)前面的名詞Khoudia作補(bǔ)充說明；介詞短語“with her beautiful pictures”作方式狀語，修飾動(dòng)詞win；“that have brought her a following of over 235k on Instagram（一款照片分享軟件）”是that引導(dǎo)的定語從句，修飾名詞pictures，作后置定語。

【即時(shí)嘗試】北京，位于中國北部，是一座古老的城市。

2.“The message I have for my sisters is that how you look doesn’t matter,...” “我給我的姐妹們的話是，你的外表看上去是怎樣的并不重要，……”

該句的主要結(jié)構(gòu)為 “The message...is...”，其中省略了引導(dǎo)詞that的定語從句I have和介詞短語for my sisters同時(shí)修飾前面的名詞message；從句和介詞短語作定語時(shí)，都要后置?！癶ow you look doesn’t matter”是be動(dòng)詞后接的表語從句，其中表語從句的主語則是由主語從句“how you look”來充當(dāng)。
