Tough girl Good morning, everyone! It is my great honor to stand here to give you a speech.At the very beginning, I want to ask the girls a question: Have you ever called yourself an “nvhanzi”.You don’t need to give me the answer.Based on my observation, only quite a few girls in my cla never have this experience.There is a joke on the Internet that people are divided into three types: Boys, girls and “nvhanzi”.It is ironical, isn’t it? But actually, nowdays, “nvhanzi” has become a commendatory term.We use it frequently, but do you know how to translate it into English? What kind of criteria to judge an “nvhanzi” and how should we evaluate the popularity of this term? It seems that most of you have no ideas about these questions, so I am here to give you an explicit explanation about these questions.Since we are majoring in English, it would be better for us to know the translation of Chinese “nvhanzi”.There are many versions.Macho girl? Tomboy? Masculine girl? Manly girl? Some Chinese even put a hyphen between “wo” and “man” to distinguish the difference between “nvhanzi” and woman.But the one which has been widely recognized by the public is “tough girl”
What kind of girl can be defined as a tough girl? This one? This one? Or this one? Different people have different views.In my opinion, tough girl should be those who are very independent.When they have problems, they would rather solve them by themselves than turn to others for help.They dislike shopping and making up.What’s more, they are also quite intelligent but they do never know how to coquetry.But my opinion could not represent your idea, so I search the Internet and in Baidu Baike I found that there are 20 rules to test whether you are a tough girl or not.Look through it quickly and find how many of them have you ever done.If your answer is le than 10, you are a girly girl.The girl whose answer is between 10 and 15 can be called a tough-girl-to-be, and a standard tough girl should be those whose answer is more than 15.I have no idea how many of you have paid attention to the buzzwords of 2013.The fact is that tough girl is one of them.Why more and more girls like to call themselves tough girls? From a psychological point of view, just as the doctor Yuan Yonggui from Southeast University said, “For girls, especially those beautiful girls, being masculine can increase the probability of being accepted and welcome by others.It is also a way of self-comforting and self-mockery, an indicator of good mental health.Before I end my speech, I want to share with all of you particularly those tough
girls in my cla a famous sentences said by Luo Yonghao, “A tough life needs no explanation!”
