The inescapable irony is that teenagers and young women pursue a tan to look more attractive, but trade a moment or two of sunny radiance for a whole lifetime of premature wrinkles, fine lines, and haggard-looking skin. As young people consider themselves immortal, not even appeals to lifelong vanity, let alone warnings about cancer, are sufficient to deter them from the tanning booths.
不管自然还是人造，紫外线辐射都会让皮肤过早衰老。无法逃避的讽刺是青少年和年轻女性为增加魅力对晒黑趋之若骛，但这一两次的古铜肤色换来的却是一生皱纹早现、细纹密布和形容枯槁。年青人自认为长生不老，甚至不留意保护一生的美丽，单纯的癌症警告更无法将他们从日光棚中拉开。
