No Botox, no surgery, not even a drop of hair dye... what's the secret to looking this good at 81? Nina Snelling thinks it's because she's never got married!不打肉毒杆菌，不做手术，甚至不用任何的染发剂……81岁了还看起来那么年轻，秘诀到底是什么？妮娜·斯内林认为这是因为她从来没结过婚！
How old do you think I look? Go on, be honest. I’m used to people refusing to believe me when I tell them, so take a good long look.你觉得我看起来有多少岁了？继续，老实说。当我告诉他们事实的时候，常常会有很多人不相信我，所以好好看看吧。
I’m 5ft 4in, a tidy size 12 and not only is that long blonde hair you see all mine, but you won’t find a grey hair in it. I haven’t grown one yet.我有5英尺4英寸高，穿12码的衣服，你可以看到我不仅有一头长发（都是真发哦），而且连一根白头发都没有。我还没开始长白头发呢。
I’ve also never had plastic surgery, Botox, fillers or tooth whitening.我也从来没有做过整形手术，没有打过肉毒杆菌，更没有做过填充手术或者牙齿美白。
If you still won’t believe me, you are one of many. I have spent much of my life appearing decades younger than my age.如果你还是不相信我的话，你就跟很多人一样了。我生命中的大部分时间里看起来都比实际年龄要小几十岁。
So what’s my secret?所以我的秘诀是什么呢？
I always arrive at the same answer: my marital status.我总是能想到同一个回答：我的婚姻状况。
Despite five marriage proposals and my fair share of boyfriends, I have never said yes or even been tempted to stick with one person for life. Put simply, I am happy being single.尽管我曾收到过5次求婚并且跟男友们同居过，但是我从来没答应过任何人，甚至从来没想过要跟一个人过一辈子。简单地说，我喜欢单身。

By passing the stress of living with a man or being married to the wrong one is what I think has kept me looking young.没有了跟一个男人生活或者嫁错人的压力，我认为这就是我保持年轻的秘诀。
My skin routine is simple but strict — I never use tap water on my face. I use Boots No.7 cream cleanser, wiped on cotton wool around my face and neck, and a toner afterwards by the same brand.我的皮肤管理简单且严格——我从来不用自来水洗脸。我用博姿的7号洁面乳，用棉绒擦我的脸跟脖子周围，然后再用同品牌的爽肤水。
Make-up is a simple affair too; I don’t need much. Coating on eye shadow and blusher when you are past a certain age doesn’t peel back the years, in fact, it can make you look older and, more often than not, mascara is enough.化妆也同样很简单；我不会用很多的化妆品。上了一定的年纪之后，昨日的光彩已不再，可以涂点眼影和腮红。事实上，这会让你看起来更老，通常情况下，睫毛膏就足够了。
This might come as bad news, but I don’t drink or smoke and never have. Perhaps that has something to do with it to.这可能不是个好消息，但是我不喝酒也从不抽烟。可能我的不老秘诀跟这也有一定的关系。
I walk to stay fit, at least eight miles a week, and am constantly busy, shopping, visiting friends or gardening.我用散步来保持健康，每周至少8公里，我有时会很忙，购物啊，拜访拜访朋友或者去公园玩玩。
While I’m grateful I don’t look my age. All women are programmed to care deeply about aging and every year that goes by, I worry more and more about lines, wrinkles and getting older. How much longer I will look like this? They say age is just a number but, more importantly, it is your mindset.同时，看起来更年轻这件事让我觉得很开心。随着自己一年又一年地变老，所有的女性都会好好地做些规划。我越来越担心我的线条跟皱纹，担心自己是不是越来越老了。我能这样多久？他们说年龄只是个数字，但是更重要的是你的心态。 |
