Explanation: The phrase " Practice random acts of kindness and senseless acts of beauty" may have been coined by peace activist Anne Herbert. Herbert says she wrote it on a placemat at a Sausalito restaurant in 1982 or 1983.

practice random acts of beauty and senseless acts of kindness
践行随机爱美的行为和毫无意义的和善表现
Explanation: 话说“做大事的机会不多，一生可能只有一两次，而且你可能由于没有准备好而失去机会；但是，做好事的机会天天有，举手之劳，随机可为”，因此practice random acts of kindness应该是标准的做人。再者，人当然爱美，所以会在某些时候好好打扮自己；但是，beauty is but skin deep，过了头，随时随地擦粉涂脂、搔首弄姿，那就是senseless acts of beauty了。
这里把话说反了，凸显出一种荒谬感：随机搔弄自己的美貌，矫柔做作地表现一下自己的良善，毫无意义。
This is just an interpretation, quite private and personal one from my own observation of human behavior.

The updates to the menu were made to make the site easy and more intuitive for visitors. Obviously, like any change, this may take a few days to get used to.
The dropdown menus have been divided into two-dimensional panels with similar items grouped together under headings. This eliminates scrolling for those with smaller screens, and also improves readability.
Mouseover your name at the top of the screen. Here you will find information about your account, your email settings, and more. The "My ProZ.com" menu was moved up here to simplify the main navigation, and to keep all of this type of information together.
