Fashion 时尚
特快英语每周一话题，今天我们将要一起讨论的话题是你对时尚有什么看法？
大部分人对于时尚都很感兴趣，而且也喜欢看衣服类的时尚杂志。他们会特别注意自己的外表。有一位男士就说到他保证自己看上去是保持一种风格的，但是他并不会特别注重时尚或潮流。
一位女士说她看到杂志上那些骨瘦如柴的模特就会感觉不舒服。不过，她觉得穿在她们身上会更好看。
那么，其他的英国人会怎么想呢？

你对时尚有什么看法？
This is what some people in London told us:
Woman 1: I like fashion! Yeah, I'm very interested in fashion - I don't have a lot of money to buy the kind of clothes that I would like… but I get fashion magazines every month and I'm definitely - except for today – I tend to take care of how I look and everything. So, yeah.
Man: I follow a style and looks, but not necessarily fashion. It's like you see something that you think "that looks cool".
Woman 2: Most fashion caters for really really stick thin people and of course it looks instantly better on them. But, yeah, it's great to look at in magazines and aspire to…
Woman 3: I'm wearing a pair of shoes that I got while I was at uni, which are about six years old. They are my favourite comfortable shoes. Black shirt, black tights and just a black shirt and black vest.
Did you know…?你知道吗…?
Fact
In 1943, the first New York Fashion Week was held, with one main purpose: to distract attention from French fashion during World War II, when workers in the fashion industry were unable to travel to Paris.
Language tip
We use the word ‘retro’ to refer to fashion and styles that are similar to those used in the past.
Cultural tip
In Europe, it is considered rude for men to wear hats or other head coverings indoors; however ladies are often exempt from these rules, and need only remove their hats whilst at home or at the theatre if their hat is obscuring the performance.
