《English Translation》

小宝: Brother, what are 'Haima Studio Photos'? I just heard on TV that these photos can’t be used for exam registration.
小刚: 'Haima Studio Photos' are a type of beautifully taken ID photo where a computer edits your face afterward to make your skin look very smooth and white, and even make your face appear smaller.
小宝: Wow, that sounds great! Why can’t they be used?
小刚: Because these photos are edited to look so good that they sometimes don’t look like the person. During exams, photos are used to verify your identity. If the photo and the person look too different, it can cause problems.
小宝: Oh, I see! But can’t the photos be edited just a little bit?
小刚: ID photos need to look real and shouldn’t be edited. For things like passports, college entrance exams, and graduate exam registrations, the photo needs to clearly show what you really look like so others can confirm who you are.
小宝: Hmm, I get it! ID photos are for others to recognize me, so they need to look like me!
小刚: Exactly! Don’t aim for perfection; authenticity is the most important. Remember not to use beauty filters when taking ID photos in the future.
小宝: Okay, I’ll make sure to take the most real and authentic photos!
