当代人为了美容不惜花费巨资。以美国为例,美国人每年的美容总花费高达132亿美元。美容手法也可谓多种多样——修眉、隆鼻、丰胸、抽脂……几乎都是为了让自己显得更年轻更漂亮。这些其实都不过分,追求美是古往今来人的天性。考古学家通过研究古玛雅人的艺术作品和身体遗骸发现,为了美化或者说改变自己的身体,古玛雅人堪称不遗余力,他们不仅描身画眉,还不惜压扁额头、锉穿牙齿。 Contemporary people spend a lot of money for beauty. In the United States, for example, Americans spend as much as 13.2 billion U.S. dollars each year on beauty. Beauty practices can be described as diverse - eyebrow, rhinoplasty, breast enhancement, liposuction ... ... almost all to make you look younger and more beautiful. These are actually not too much, the pursuit of beauty is the nature of mankind throughout the ages. By studying ancient Maya artwork and body remains, archaeologists have found that in order to beautify or change their bodies, the ancient Maya people spare no efforts in depicting not only the thrush, but also the crush of forehead and the filing of teeth.
