Rather than pay 3,000 for cosmetic surgeons to give them eyelids with a more Western appearance, they can buy a 3.50 box of ordinary sticking plasters to give the same effect.

他们不用支付3000英镑来做双眼皮整容手术，仅需花3.5英镑买一盒普通的胶布就能达到同样的效果，让自己拥有更加西化的长相。

For by and large they are sticking-plasters, applied in the hope that the recession will soon be over and the industrial restructuring that follows will be modest.

大体而言，它们就是狗皮膏药，适用于“衰退会很快结束，随之会进行产业温和重建”这样的希望中。
