Max: This is it has finally been on。 I love it。

马克思:《就是这样》终于上映了。我太喜欢了。

Jessie: Hello? You love Michael Jackson? He was pedophiliac。 Wasn’t he sick?

杰西:不是吧。你喜欢迈克尔?杰克逊? 他有恋童癖的。他变态的,好吧。

Max:That’s not true。 As the king of pop, he had always been the center of rumors。 He loved children。

马克思:这不是真的。作为音乐教父,他一直都是各种谣言的中心。他喜欢小孩子。

Jessie: He loved to sexually abuse them。

杰西:他喜欢性虐待小孩吧。

Max: Hey, don’t ever criticize my idol。 He had a very bad and lonely childhood。 So he wanted to do what he can to help those unhappy children。 However, some bastards used his kindness。

马克思:不要这样批评我的偶像。 他自己的童年很不好,很孤独,所以他想帮助那些不开心的孩子。 但是有些居心不良的人利用他的善良。

Jessie: You are saying that he was blackmailed。 Then what about the being white thing?

杰西:你是说他们勒索他。那皮肤变白的事情呢?

Max: That’s ridiculous。 All we know what racial discrimination is。 He should know better than have himself bleached。 He just had skin cancer。

马克思:简直是可笑。我们都知道种族歧视。他怎么可能漂白自己啊? 他只是得了皮肤癌。

Jessie: Skin cancer? Sound reasonable。 Who told you that? The paparazzi?

杰西:皮肤癌? 听上去很合理。是谁告诉你的? 狗仔队?

Max: I know the truth。 You can’t deny someone because of some absurd and harsh slanders。 He was a great musician。 And he deserved to be respected and loved。

马克思:我知道的是事实。你不能因为一些荒唐残酷的诽谤而否定一个人。他是一个伟大的音乐人,而且他值得我们尊敬和爱。

Jessie: Is that what they say love me love my dog?

杰西:这就是所说的爱屋及乌吧。

Max: No, I mean what really matters is his musical talents。 You should really listen to his music。 You will be moved。 Anyway, that is him: a king of pop music。

马克思:不是的。我觉得真正重要的是他的音乐才能。你真应该听听他的音乐,你会被感动的。总之,他就是流行音乐的天王。

Jessie: Ok, I agree that he is not a simple man。 Maybe, I just focus on his personal life but neglect。 Ok, I will follow your advice。

杰西:好吧,我承认他不是个简单的人。也许我太在意他的个人生活了。好吧,我会听从你的建议的。

Max: Hey, I have this CD, we can share。

马克思:嘿,我这有他的CD,我们一起分享。

Classic Styles

复古风潮

时尚永远不知满足。每一年,设计师和各个时尚品牌都在忙碌地更新,从推出秋冬系列到春夏系列,中间还会穿插度假系列,不给自己留一点喘息的机会。然而就在最近,这个经济危机时期,女人们开始不再把注意力放在快速又变幻莫测的商业时尚上了,她们纷纷回归到传统时尚,挑选那些经典、独特、规矩、永久的服装款式。换句话说就是,复古风潮来了。

Realize Classic Fashion Style

认识不老的时尚经典

1不老的时尚经典

Classic fashion styles are the looks that last through the ages and appear flattering on almost anyone。 They go beyond trends and are a triumph of art。 Despite the decade, figure or fashion, classic styles are always a demonstration of truly refined taste。

Classic fashion always starts with the simplest of ideas。 Silhouettes are sleek and concepts are unpolluted。 It is this clean thinking that allows a classic fashion to melt into any current theme or style。

The biggest benefit with classic styles is that they’re never trendy。 Trendy styles are meant to push the boundaries and draw attention to the garment。 A trendy look is meant to make a bold statement and never slips gracefully into the fashion parade。

Not being trendy means classic clothes are timeless。 You cannot look at a classic garment and automatically know it was produced in the 1970s。 The garment should be so sublime that any decade and any designer may have created it。

The little black dress is a perfect example of classic fashion。 This simple garment is still a favorite for women everywhere, and a basic necessity in any fashionable wardrobe。 It suits different body shapes, different personalities and different styles。 The original dress design can slip as easily into a modern party as any reinvention。

The common black tuxedo is another example of classic fashion。 The traditional garment is used by men almost everywhere, and changes little from decade to decade。 The simple jacket, pant and bow-tie combination creates a sleek elegance that needs no alteration to fit into any formal situation。

Classic fashions tend to stick with classic colors as well as classic lines。 Black, blue, white and brown are much more common than bright yellow, hot pink and neon orange。 Natural materials, such as cotton, silk and leather, are much more common than synthetics, such as polyester, rayon and pleather。

2各种复古时尚经典的表达方式

Roman style罗马风格

The Roman style got the legacy of its antique parent。 The clothes were rather comfortable and expedient。 However, some uncharacteristic for the antique style extravagances appeared there were called “barbaric novelties”。 The Roman style was very much influenced by the development of the home craft。

Gothic style 哥特风格

Fitting clothes appeared in the Gothic times。 The clothes were cut and sewn very skillfully。 Even now there exists an opinion that the gothic cut is unsurpassed。 To understand the character of the gothic dress you should imagine the architecture of this style。

Renaissance文艺复兴风格

This style appeared under the influence of the humanistic ideas of Renaissance。 The clothes aspired to the harmony expressed in the symmetry and absence of excess。 Renaissance refuses out-of-order waistline–only natural proportions。

Rococo洛可可风格

It was France that offered an intimate style, later called “rococo”。 The French court was the first one to get tired of the splendor of baroque。 Huge garments of the previous epoch were reduced to natural human sizes。 Another typical feature of this style is its proximity to nature。

Baroque巴洛克风格

Baroque gave birth to new fabrics and decorations。 The new epoch welcomed velvet and metal instead of silk and lace dominated earlier。 This style is known as eccentric and luxurious。

Romanticism浪漫主义风格

Romanticism epoch was linked with the development of industry that allowed not only noblemen to dress well, but bourgeoisie, too。 As a result, a bourgeois character dominated in clothes。 A romantic-styled man had two gaudy parts: a collar that became even stiffer and higher and cuffs, being lower than sleeves of a frock coat。

洛可可艺术风格与巴洛克艺术风格最显著的差别就是,洛可可艺术更趋向一种精致而幽雅,具装饰性的特色。这种特色当然会影响到当时的服装,甚至以“洛可可”一词代表法国大革命之前18世纪的服装款式。哥特艺术风格主要表现的是建筑上的“锐角三角形”,同时也深深地影响了当时的服饰审美及服饰创造。例如,在男女服饰的整体轮廓上,在衣服的袖子上以及鞋子的造型上、帽子的款式上等等,都充分呈现出锐角三角形的形态。
