Please correct this to better English.?
My English textbook has the following phrase but I wonder this phrase is not so natural.
Would you please rewrite it to better English?
1. Nobody could be a beautiful lady enough for me to respect.
2. Nobody could be beautiful enough for me to respect.
Thank you very much.

Given the two choices, 2 seems better, but the problem is it doesn't make much sense, unless you mean to say you only respect beautiful people or ladies.

I can't imagine any textbook would contain such a stupid sentence concept.
A woman has to be incredibly beautiful before you can respect them? Moronic.

The first sentence is unnatural, and would not be said by a native English speaker. The second is grammatical and acceptable, but if you wanted to use the word "lady," this is one way to do it:
No lady could be beautiful enough for me to respect.

1. Nobody could be a beautiful lady enough for me to respect.
Try this: No matter how beautiful a lady is, I would not respect her.
2. Nobody could be beautiful enough for me to respect.
This one is good
