在毕业舞会上，还会揭晓Prom Queen（舞会王后）和Prom King（舞会之王）的获选者。这两个荣誉称号的获得者是在毕业舞会之前在全校范围内投票选出的，获选者多是高中学生。初中学生也有获选的机会，不过称号会改为Prom Prince（舞会王子）或Prom Princess（舞会公主）。
The British synonym for the North American event would be Leavers'Ball， Leavers'Dinner， Formal or， informally， Leavers'Do.
在英国英语中，一般会用同义词Leavers'Ball、Leavers'Dinner、FormaI或者更口语化的Leavers'Do来表示prom，即“毕业舞会”。

欧美文化360°洗礼
“manicure”一词来源于拉丁文，“manus”指“hand（手）”，“cura”指“care（护理）”，所以，“manicure”就是我们常说的“手部护理”或“指甲护理”。
美甲行业在美国等发达国家非常盛行，主要原因是人们非常注重指甲的干净和美观，指甲同头发、长相一样，都是评判一个人外表的重要考察对象。
在美国，美甲师多为越南人和白种人，且多为独立工作的女性。这些女性在今天美国的经济中扮演者重要的角色：67%的美甲师都有家庭和孩子，他们是家庭经济的主要来源。其中96%的美甲师都有资格证书。他们一般都会在美容店里租用摊位。

12.整形手术Plastic Surgery
手术操作可分为手术整形和非手术整形（微整形、注射美容、激光护肤等）。整形美容手术效果如何，取决于医生的经验技术（60%）病人条件（30%）和运气（10%）。整形美容手术不是万能的，希望千人一面的手术效果是无知的。不要对美容手术寄予过高期望。
