你认为什么款式的衣服时髦？顶级时装设计师设计的衣服怎么样

来听今天的讲解:

Beginner

A: do you think I still fashionable in this dress?

你认为我穿这件衣服还时髦吗？

B: I think so. Blue is still fashionable at the moment.

我想是的。蓝色现在仍然很流行。

A: this style came out last year, though. I like the dress, but I’m not sure whether last year’s fashions will be same this year.

这种款式是去年才出现的。我喜欢这条裙子，但我不确定今年去年的款式是否会一样。

B: I think this kind of dress will stay in fashion for a few more years. People don’t change fashions every year. It would be too expensive.

我认为这种衣服还会流行几年。人们不会每年都换时尚。它太贵了。

A: yes. Only the top designer try to tell people to change fashion every year, but only rich people can do it.

是的。只有顶级设计师每年都试图告诉人们改变时尚，但只有富人才能做到。

B: there are some real fashion victims who just have to keep totally up-to-date with expensive clothes.

有些真正的时尚受害者只需要完全跟上昂贵衣服的潮流。

A: I wish I could be one of those people, but my budget simply doesn’t stretch that far. I have to limit the amount of money I spend on clothes otherwise I would go on a shopping frenzy.

我希望我能成为其中一员，但我的预算根本没有那么多。我必须限制我在衣服上的花费，否则我会疯狂购物。

B: I know what you mean. The situation will be worse if we marry our boyfriends and have children. The we’ll have even less money to spend on fashionable clothes!

我知道你的意思。如果我们和男朋友结婚生子，情况会更糟。我们花在时尚衣服上的钱会更少！

Intermediate

A: look at these clothes designed by top fashion designer like Versacci, Calvin Klein, and Vivienne Westwood. What do you think of them?

看看这些顶级时装设计师设计的衣服，比如Versacci、Calvin Klein和Vivienne Westwood。你觉得它们怎么样？

B: well, they look lovely, but they’re not very practical. I mean, would you wear that dress to the office or walking down the street?

嗯，它们看起来很漂亮，但不太实用。我的意思是，你会穿那条裙子去办公室还是走在街上？

A: I know what you mean. People would stare at you in amazement if you wore something like that in an everyday situation. I suppose only extravagant rich people wear then at cocktail parties.

我知道你的意思。如果你在日常生活中穿这样的衣服，人们会惊讶地盯着你看。我想只有奢侈的富人才会在鸡尾酒会上穿。

B: maybe. I’m not sure why they have fashion shows like this. Hardly anyone will buy those clothes. The clothes you see are nothing like the ones that ordinary people wear. It seems like a waste of money.

也许吧。我不知道他们为什么会有这样的时装秀。几乎没有人会买那些衣服。你看到的衣服一点也不像普通人穿的。这似乎是在浪费钱。

A: I think that the designers hold these fashion shows for a few reasons. First, it’s just like a big party. They can meet each other and network. The other thing is that it is great advertising. All the journalists and photographers are there. Thirdly, it give them a chance to show what they would like to see people wearing.

我认为设计师们举办这些时装秀有几个原因。首先，这就像一个大型聚会。他们可以见面，也可以通过网络交流。另一件事是，这是一个很棒的广告。所有的记者和摄影师都在那里。第三，这给了他们一个展示他们希望看到人们穿什么的机会。

B: you meant it’s an expression of their fantasies?

你是说这是他们幻想的表现？

A: yes. I think the designers are saying that these clothes are what they would like to see people wear if those people weren’t concerned with what other people might think. In a way, the designers are saying‘don’t worry about what others think. Wear what you like!’.

是的。我想设计师们是在说，如果人们不关心别人的想法，他们希望看到人们穿这些衣服。从某种程度上说，设计师们说：“不要担心别人的想法。穿你喜欢的衣服！”。

B: very philosophical. I think they design these clothes more for publicity. They try to see who can be the most extreme and outrageous, but still stylish.

非常有哲理。我认为他们设计这些衣服更多的是为了宣传。他们试图看看谁可以是最极端、最离谱的，但仍然时尚。

A: come on. All this fashion has reminded me that I want to buy some clothes.

来吧。这些时尚让我想起我想买些衣服。
