中美第一夫人的“時(shí)尚經(jīng)”

The first ladies of China and the US, scheduled for their first-ever meeting this week, have much in common: They are symbols of glamour in their own countries and stand uneclipsed by their more powerful husbands. They are loved by the public not because of their spouses but for who they are. Each woman has created a "power center"-a kind of soft power-from a combination of femininity and self-assertion. And they have channeled it to worthy causes such as helping others. They command the spotlight but never steal the show when the occasion calls for supporting roles. They know that what they do will be put under a microscope, including the clothes they don, and they parlay that kind of influence into exposure for causes with larger meanings. Because they exude strength and charisma at once, they become role models who transcend gender and age.

中美兩國(guó)的第一夫人將按計(jì)劃于本周開始首次會(huì)面。兩人在很多方面都有共同點(diǎn)：她們是本國(guó)魅力的代名詞，但也不會(huì)因身處大權(quán)在握的丈夫身邊而略失風(fēng)采。她們并不因自己的丈夫而被民眾所追捧熱愛(ài)，而是因?yàn)樗齻兊谋旧晕?。這也由此創(chuàng)造了一種融合了女性氣質(zhì)和自信飛揚(yáng)的軟實(shí)力的“權(quán)力中心”。同時(shí)，她們也將這一軟實(shí)力傳遞到了類似幫助他人的有意義之事。她們主導(dǎo)著鎂光燈的焦點(diǎn)，但從不會(huì)在需要配角的場(chǎng)合下?lián)寠Z整場(chǎng)舞臺(tái)的閃光點(diǎn)。她們深知自己包括著裝打扮在內(nèi)的一言一行都將為世人所矚目，同時(shí)也為了更具有意義的事業(yè)而將這種形式所蘊(yùn)含的影響力曝光于公眾。由于她們本身所散發(fā)出的力量與魅力，使得她們成為超越了性別和年齡的公眾楷模。
