When people wanted to dismiss(轻视，不认真对待) Gloria Steinem, they spoke about how she looked. Talking about the pioneering activist and journalist who turned feminism into a major civil rights movement, it might seem reductive(过于简化的，简单化的) to focus on her glasses.
当人们想要贬低格洛丽亚·斯泰纳姆时，他们谈论的是她的外貌。谈论这位将女权主义转变为一场重要民权运动的先驱活动家兼记者，却聚焦于她的眼镜，似乎有些过于简单化。
But after Steinem – whose death at 92 was announced on Thursday – wore them on the cover of Newsweek in 1971 next to the cover-line The New Woman, the lightly tinted(带色彩的，着色的) aviators(飞行员太阳镜) – often worn over her hair – became an accidental form of self-branding(自我品牌塑造) that made her instantly recognisable. They were as indelibly(不可磨灭地，永久地) linked to her legacy as Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s jabots(金斯伯格法官的标志性领饰) or even Anna Wintour’s sunglasses. They also became one of her greatest weapons.
但在斯泰纳姆——她的去世于周四公布，享年92岁——于1971年戴着它们登上《新闻周刊》封面，旁边是“新女性”的封面标题之后，那副浅色飞行员眼镜——常常戴在头发上——成了一种偶然的自我品牌塑造，让她一眼就能被认出。它们与她的遗产密不可分，正如鲁斯·巴德·金斯伯格的领饰或安娜·温图尔的太阳镜一样。它们也成了她最强大的武器之一。
Never mind(更不用说；没关系) that she had to wear them. Coming from a nearsighted(近视的) family, she bought the oversized(超大的，过大的) men’s wire Ray-Ban Bausch & Lomb aviators in the late ’60s because she found standard women’s frames too small.
更不用说她是不得不戴眼镜的。她出身于一个近视家庭，在60年代末买了那副超大的男士金属框雷朋博士伦飞行员眼镜，因为她觉得标准的女士镜框太小了。
