Abilities and Good Looks
We are often told not to judge people by their appearance, because for a person, abilities are far more important than appearance. Throughout history, there are numerous examples of outstanding people with remarkable achievements who are just plain or not good-looking at all.
However, nowadays some people hold the belief that appearance outweighs abilities, partly because some beautiful people seem to have advantages in competitive situations like job interviews and have been given more opportunities than others.Nevertheless, I still firmly believe that abilities are more important. For one thing, although good looks are easy on the eye, it is always ones abilities that create values that really matter. For another, while peoples good looks were born to them, abilities have to be gained through deliberate self-cultivation and years of hardworking which speak more of peoples true colors. Last but not least, abilities grow over time while good looks only fade. Eventually, it is the abilities that help people succeed, so it is safe to say that abilities will always bring more to life than good looks.
能力和良好的外表
经常有人告诉我们不要以貌取人，因为一个人的能力比外表更重要。纵观历史，有显著成绩者长相只是普通的或不好看的有无数的例子。
然而，现在有些人认为外表比能力重要，部分原因是由于一些漂亮的人在面试竞争时优势比别人多。
尽管如此，我仍然坚信，能力更重要。对于一件事，虽然外表很容易看清，但是它始终是一个人的能力才能真正创造价值。另一方面，人们的长相是他们出生时就形成了，但能力必须通过刻意修养和勤奋来获取，也就是说这才是更多的人的本来面目。最后但并非最不重要的，能力的发展随着时间的推移增加而美貌只是褪色。最终，能力能帮助人们获得成功，所以可以说能力比美貌会给我们带来更多。
