Beauty is only skin-deep
미모는 거죽 한 꺼풀
May: John, do you think appearance is important?
John: Well, sometimes. Could be more important for women, I guess. Why do you ask?
May: My friend Jane is having a hard time getting the job she wants. And she thinks it's because of how she looks.
John: Hum. What kind of jobs does she apply for?
May: She's really interested in hotel promotion work but apparently some people think the PR managers have to have charming looks.
John: I understand why some people would think that way though. Because she represents the hotel sometimes. Right?
May: No! She's not a model. She doesn't have to be beautiful to do her job. Actually having a good personality should be more important for that position. I think she's beautiful in that sense.
John: You're right May. Beauty is only skin-deep.
