时不时地，总有些人要纠结什么是客观的美，他们觉得能找到一种准确而科学的方法来界定一个东西到底美不美。
They poorly analyze survey data. In the end, all this so-called objectivity simply serves what they themselves want to express.
这些人总是潦草地分析一堆调研数据，而最终，这种所谓的客观只不过是鼓吹他们自己想表达的那些东西。
Beauty is subjective. Period.
美是主观的，这才是不变的真理。
We each dictate what it is, how it is, and why it is.

They coincide with what we value in life.
而这些标准其实都反映了我们自己的价值观。
They bounce off of our belief systems, our concepts of good and bad, right and wrong, and some, of righteous or sinful.
它们与我们的信仰、善恶观、是非观、道德观是息息相关的。
