Experts estimate that 30 percent people who make cosmetic in Seoul are Chinese. With the development of technology, the risks and costs of cosmetic surgery can be minimized. But should we have cosmetic surgery? It is a controversial topic.
有专家预测在首尔做整容手术的人有百分之三十是中国人。随着科技的发展，整容手术的费用和风险都可以降至最低。但是我们应不应该做整容手术呢？这是一个有争议的话题。
Some people agree that due to the advantages of cosmetic surgery. There are two main points to explain the advantages. First, cosmetic surgery is a mean of gaining confidence and self-esteem. We have to admit that good-looking people are more popular than people who don’t look good. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever” said Endymion. Second, beautiful appearance can improve one’s chance in the job market and later help one’s career.
因为整容手术的优点，有些人是赞成的。有两点可以解释其优势。第一，整容手术是获得自信和自尊的一个方式。我们不得不承认，长得好看的人比那些看起来不怎么好看的人更受欢迎。恩迪米恩说“美好的事物永远都是赏心悦目的”。第二，美丽的外表可以提升在就业市场的机会，对以后的职业生涯也有帮助。
Other people think it’s unnecessary to have cosmetic surgery. First, as everyone will become old, outer beauty is temporary. What we should do is to improve our inner beauty. Second, companies will not have a person with a beautiful appearance but no brain. 
有些人则觉得整容手术是没必要的。第一，每个人都会变老，外在美只是暂时的。我们所要做的是提高我们的内在美。第二，公司不会喜欢雇用一个花瓶般的职员的。
In my opinion, the meaning of life lies in knowledge and perfection of character instead of seeking temporary outer beauty. But cosmetic surgery is a person choice, having nothing to do with others.
在我看来，生命的意义在于对知识和品格的完善而不是追求外在美。但整容手术只是个人选择，与他人无关。
