PASSAGE 5 In spring 2008, the possible subject matter for picture books expanded into a new realm with the publication of *My Beautiful Mommy*. Written by Michael Salzhauer and illustrated by Victor Guiza, the narrative is **billed** as the first picture book to address the subject of cosmetic surgery. Told from a first-person perspective, *My Beautiful Mommy* relays the experiences of a young girl whose mother is about to undergo multiple elective aesthetic procedures. Although the story is fictional, it takes an informational rather than imaginative approach: the narrative provides young readers with a type of “guided tour” or instructive overview of the process. *My Beautiful Mommy* begins with the mother’s initial consultation at the doctor’s office, progresses to the day of her surgery, discusses the period of her _______, and ends with the removal of her bandages and the unveiling of her new, cosmetically altered self. To help explain the entire cosmetic surgery experience to child readers, the book appropriates a common metaphor from nature: it compares the mother’s transformation to that of a caterpillar into a butterfly, complete with even likening her bandages to a cocoon. The mother in *My Beautiful Mommy* is undergoing not simply a random cluster of cosmetic surgery procedures, but a specific grouping known as the “mommy makeover.” Comprised of a tummy _______, liposuction, and a breast lift (with or without implants), it is a designed to help mothers regain their pre-pregnancy form. Given the growing number of women undergoing cosmetic surgery, coupled with the growing societal belief that parents ought to be more honest and open with their children, there was a growing need to have such procedures explained in a manner that young people could understand. As Abigail Jones aptly observed, while much attention has been paid to “the emotional effects plastic surgery can have on patients,” few have addressed the question “how does a mother’s plastic surgery affect her kids?”. *My Beautiful Mommy* seeks to do just that. Released on the symbolic date of Mother’s Day in 2008, the picture book is aimed at children ages four through seven, and it is intended to ease the fear and anxiety that children experience when a parent undergoes cosmetic surgery.

想像一下，當你穿著一件太寬鬆的襯衫，想要讓腰部看起來更合身、更整齊時，你會把多餘的布料「塞進」褲頭裡。在英文中，這個「收攏、塞入」的動作會使用哪一個動詞？這與文中描述將鬆弛皮膚收緊的手術名稱正好是同一個字。

醫學美容中的固定搭配
太棒了！你能精準選出這個選項，代表你對英文的**固定搭配（Collocation）**有相當敏銳的觀察力。在整型美容的領域中，Tummy tuck 是一個專有名詞，正式名稱為「腹部整形術」（Abdominoplasty）。文段中提到的「媽咪大改造」（Mommy makeover）通常包含抽脂、隆乳以及將鬆弛腹部皮膚「收緊」的動作，而 tuck 這個動詞正有「塞入、捲起、收攏」的意思，完美契合了手術調整體態的特徵。
