Hello. Welcome to 6 Minute English, I’m Neil.
大家好。欢迎来到六分钟英语,我是尼尔。
And I’m Rob.
我是罗伯。
Rob, it’s good to see you keeping up with fashion by wearing the high-vis jacket – although I have to say it is a bit dazzling.
罗伯,很高兴看到你穿着十分引人注目的外套来紧跟潮流,然而我不得不说它有点晃眼啊。
Neil, I’m no fashion victim. This high-vis or high-visibility jacket is for safety. I wear it when I’m cycling around London and I’ve just forgotten to take it off.
尼尔,我不是时尚牺牲品。这个十分引人注目的外套是为了安全。当绕伦敦骑行时我会穿着它,而且我只是忘了把它脱下来。
And a fashion victim, by the way, is someone who always wears what’s thought to be fashionable, even if it doesn’t actually look good on them. But wearing high-vis clothing has become the latest fashion statement.That’s something you wear to attract attention and people who know something about fashion.
顺便提一下,时尚牺牲品是那些总是穿着认为时尚物件的人,即使穿着真的不好看。但是穿十分引人注目的服装已经成为最近的时尚宣言。那是指你为了吸引注意力以及略懂时尚之人的注意所穿戴的东西。
Well, I can assure you, I don’t wear my bright jacket to look cool. But in today’s programme we’ll be discussing why some people do. But first, Neil, have you got a question for us to think about?
好吧,我可以向你保证,我穿这件亮眼的外套不是为了看起来酷酷的。但是在今天的节目里,我们将会讨论为什么一些人那样做。但是首先,尼尔,你有什么问题让我们大家思考吗?
