But what’s really wonderful is that, sometime between that important day in 1988 and today, my self-image sTOPped being about how I look and began being about how I feel.

sTOP being和began being疑問(wèn)。

為何要加being？

be about：是動(dòng)詞意義，意為“涉及”。

sTOP 和 begin 后面需要接 doing，包含 being。

sTOP doing ；sTOP being

begin doing ；begin being

假如沒(méi) being，你覺(jué)得能行嗎？

sTOP about ?

begin about ?

再舉一個(gè)例子：

He is silly. Please sTOP being silly.

沒(méi) being，能行嗎？ 你能說(shuō) STOP silly 嗎？
