美语情景对话 第792期:Fashion Sense 时尚品味
Todd: Well, what about clothes? Like, are you a brand name person?
托德：衣服呢？你追求名牌吗？Melissa: No, not at all. That's not my style.
梅莉莎：不，我不买名牌。那不是我的风格。Todd: Yeah, so what determines your style? What influences you?
托德：好，那你是什么风格？买衣服时哪方面会影响你？
Melissa: Well, what I do when I go shopping. I usually have something in mind that I want to buy, so either a certain color or just a certain item of clothing and then I look around at all the different shops and compare the best prices and things like that, and then I'll buy the one that's the best deal and I'll feel really good about it.
梅莉莎：我购物时的情况。我在逛街时，通常已经想好了要买的东西，我会想好要买的颜色和款式，然后去各个商店逛，比较价格，我会买下价格最划算我也觉得不错的那件衣服。Todd: So for your style, do you look around and also you say, "Oh, I like what that person's wearing. I wanna dress this style" or do you just think, you have your own style and you don't care if it fits into a mold.
托德：那有关你的风格，你在逛街时会不会看到某个人的衣服，会想：哦，我喜欢那个人穿的衣服，我也想要那样的裙子，还是你认为你有自己的风格，你不在乎是否和别人一样。Melissa: I think it's a mix. I think that sometimes I'll see something that someone's wearing and I'll like it or want something similar and then of course that mixes in with things I already have, but I also like to make my own clothes, and remake clothes and things and things like that, so sometimes I'll remake something and realize that I need a sweater or something to go with it and then I'll just buy it based on something else I already have.
梅莉莎：两种都有吧。有时我会觉得其他人穿的衣服很好看，我也想要件类似的，和我的衣服进行搭配，另外我也会自己做衣服，改衣服，有时我改完衣服以后，发现我需要件毛衣来搭配这件衣服，那我就会依据我已有的衣服，去挑选可以搭配的衣服。Todd: Oh, so you make your own clothes.
托德：哦，你自己做衣服。Melissa: Yeah, I don't do it from scratch a lot. Sometimes I'll go to a craft store and buy fabric and then cut it up and make a shirt from fabric, but often take a shirt or pants I already have and make into something. Like, I recently was living with a couple of roommates and my roommate was getting rid of all her old jeans so I cut her jeans up and cut a sweater up I had and then I made it into a jacket.
梅莉莎：对，我并不经常做新衣服。有时我会去手工品店买布料，裁剪以后做成短裙，不过多数时候我会用我的衬衫和裤子去改衣服。现在，我和几个室友一起住，有一个室友要处理掉她的旧牛仔裤，所以我把她的牛仔裤裁剪了一下，又裁了我的一件毛衣，然后用这两件做成了一件夹克。Todd: Oh, nice.
托德：哦，真好。Melissa: Yeah.
梅莉莎：对。Todd: And you still have it.
托德：现在你还在穿 。Melissa: Totally. I wear it all time.
梅莉莎：没错，我一直在穿。Todd: Cool. Alright, well, thanks Melissa.
托德：真酷。好，谢谢你，梅莉莎。Melissa: No problem.
梅莉莎：不客气。
