Lots of people feel entitled to comment on a woman's appearance -- especially if that woman happens to be taller than them.
很多人觉得对女人的外表评头论足是理所应当的,如果这个女人还是个高妹的话,那就更应该要评一评。
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.
就像瘦子已经厌倦了别人说“你应该去吃汉堡”或者“你瘦得像根牙签”;矮个子的女人不喜欢别人问她们“下面的空气是什么样的”,高妹也常常听到和长颈鹿有关的玩笑话,还有关于有没有女人味的质疑。
