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!
不打肉毒桿菌，不做手術，甚至不用任何的染髮劑……81歲了還看起來那麼年輕，祕訣到底是什麼?妮娜·斯內林認爲這是因爲她從來沒結過婚!
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.
你覺得我看起來有多少歲了?繼續，老實說。當我告訴他們事實的時候，常常會有很多人不相信我，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碼的衣服，你可以看到我不僅有一頭長髮(都是真發哦)，而且連一根白頭髮都沒有。我還沒開始長白頭髮呢。
I’ve also never had plastic surgery, Botox, fillers or tooth whitening.
我也從來沒有做過整形手術，沒有打過肉毒桿菌，更沒有做過填充手術或者牙齒美白。
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.
如果你還是不相信我的話，你就跟很多人一樣了。我生命中的大部分時間裏看起來都比實際年齡要小几十歲。
So what’s my secret?
所以我的祕訣是什麼呢?
I always arrive at the same answer: my marital status.
我總是能想到同一個回答：我的婚姻狀況。
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.
儘管我曾收到過5次求婚並且跟男友們同居過，但是我從來沒答應過任何人，甚至從來沒想過要跟一個人過一輩子。簡單地說，我喜歡單身。
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.
沒有了跟一個男人生活或者嫁錯人的壓力，我認爲這就是我保持年輕的祕訣。
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.
我的皮膚管理簡單且嚴格——我從來不用自來水洗臉。我用博姿的7號潔面乳，用棉絨擦我的臉跟脖子周圍，然後再用同品牌的爽膚水。
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.
化妝也同樣很簡單;我不會用很多的化妝品。上了一定的年紀之後，昨日的光彩已不再，可以塗點眼影和腮紅。事實上，這會讓你看起來更老，通常情況下，睫毛膏就足夠了。
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.
這可能不是個好消息，但是我不喝酒也從不抽菸。可能我的不老祕訣跟這也有一定的關係。
I walk to stay fit, at least eight miles a week, and am constantly busy, shopping, visiting friends or gardening.
我用散步來保持健康，每週至少8公里，我有時會很忙，購物啊，拜訪拜訪朋友或者去公園玩玩。
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.
同時，看起來更年輕這件事讓我覺得很開心。隨着自己一年又一年地變老，所有的女性都會好好地做些規劃。我越來越擔心我的線條跟皺紋，擔心自己是不是越來越老了。我能這樣多久?他們說年齡只是個數字，但是更重要的是你的心態。
