Being ladylike doesn't mean being girly, weak and submissive - you must show intelligence, inner strength and impeccable manners. If that sounds a little too much for you don't worry, Videojug's here to show you how to be graceful, gracious and get what you want.
做淑女并不代表要扮萝莉、软弱或顺从，你应该表现出智慧内在的力量和无可挑剔的行为规范。听上去有点复杂？别担心，下面我们就来告诉你，如何成为一名理想中优雅、亲切的淑女。
Step 1: Dress the part
第一步：注意外表
Channel you inner glamour queen: think Jackie Onassis, Grace Kelly and Natalie Portman. Your clothes must fit, show off your shape, and be spotlessly clean and pressed, so out with the jeans, sloppy tees and Uggs and in with the skirts and high heels. Don't display too much flesh, and for jimini's sake, wear knickers - koochy flashing is not a ladylike pastime.
看看那些内在魅力无限的女王们：杰奎琳·肯尼迪、格蕾丝·凯莉、娜塔莉·波特曼。你的着装必须合身，凸显出你的身材，而且一定要干净无瑕、熨烫整齐，所以牛仔裤、宽大的T恤和雪地靴就不要考虑了，裙装和高跟鞋才是王道。别穿的太暴露，穿短裤可一点儿也不淑女。
Grooming is also crucial - in every area. Nails, hair and make up have to be immaculate. It's high maintenance, but as Helena Rubinstein said, 'there are no ugly women, only lazy ones.'
仪表也很重要，不管是在哪一部分。指甲、头发和妆容必须要洁净无瑕。虽然打理起来很费神，但正如赫莲娜·鲁宾斯坦所说的，“没有丑女人，只有懒女人。”
Step 2: Encourage Chivalry
第二步：鼓励绅士风度
When you are with your young gentleman, hold back a little as you approach the door, this will force him to open it, then naturally hold it open for you. Remember to thank him demurely as you go through.
当你和年轻男士同行而且来到门前时，别急着开门。这会迫使男士上前去开门，并很自然地帮你把门拉住。这时候别忘了优雅地说声谢谢。
When it comes to sitting down, use the same tactic. If he takes his chair without holding yours out, stand just long enough for him to notice his mistake, then sit, keeping your knees together at all times of course. Smile, sulking is for petulantteenagers, he will be relieved you have brushed over his embarrassment and won't forget again.
当你们准备落座时，也可以采取相同的策略。如果他只抽出了自己的椅子而忽略了你的，你只需要站在那不动，直到他意识到自己的错误。坐下以后始终保持双膝并拢，并对他报以微笑。只有任性的小年轻才会生闷气。你对他的失误一笑而过会让他倍感释怀，下次再也不会忘记了。
