Fashion 时尚

特快英语每周一话题,今天我们将要讨论的话题是眼下什么东西最时髦?

现在的杂志都会给各种品牌起稀奇古怪的名字,例如流浪汉包,瑞士军刀或者裸色。裸色通常是指赤裸的,但这并不是时尚的一种吧?

在伦敦,人们都很喜欢色彩亮丽的东西,越明亮越好,或淡粉色的,或蓝绿色的。

一位男士给了一个明智的建议,就是要那些看起来轮廓鲜明的和漂亮可人的。

那么现在让我们一起来听听英国人是怎么描述他们眼中的时尚的。

What's in at the moment?

眼下什么东西最时髦?

This is what some people in London told us:

Man 1: I don’t know… Nice fitting shirts, polo shirts or something at the moment, plain white Ts.

Man 2: I think the look at the moment is to look clean cut and presentable.

Woman 1: Bright clothes, bright…the brighter the better. Like my hair.

Woman 2: Hobo used to be in fashion – it’s not so much anymore, erm, I’d say beads are very much in fashion, and quite low colours, like not really heavy colours – quite light and pastel.

Did you know…?你知道吗…?

Fact

Christian Dior's New Look made fashion history in 1947. It featured voluptuous designs that used a lot of fabric leaving behind the World War II years, when many products were rationed.
