01Daily Dialogue 日常会话

Buying the suit

Henry : Maria, I want to buy this suit. But I don't know which

color is better.

Maria : I think the black one is OK.

Henry : Why? You know I don't like dark color.

Maria : Yes, I know. But dressing is an art which utilizes the

illusion of the human eyes to create a different look.

You should learn to make amends of your weakness

and exploit your strengths.

Henry : Maybe you are right. I'll take that black one.

Maria : Now let me help you to choose a tie that goes well

with the suit.

Henry : Do I have to wear a tie?

Maria : Yes. It is necessary for men to wear a suit with a tie. It

makes you look so attractive in a super tie. How about that flecked one? It must be the latest fashion.1

Henry : I don't like flecked.

Maria : How about that striped tie? I think you may like it.

Henry : OK. Let me have a try.

买西装

亨利:玛丽亚,我想买这件西装,但不知道哪个颜色更好些。

玛丽亚:我觉得那件黑的不错。

亨利:为什么?你知道我不喜欢深色。

玛丽亚:是的,我知道。但穿衣服是一门艺术,它利用人眼的错觉来使你面貌一新。你应该学会修饰缺点而发挥你的长处。

亨利:也许你说得对。那就要那件黑色的吧。

玛丽亚:现在我帮你挑一条搭配西服的领带。

亨利:我必须打领带吗?

玛丽亚:对。领带对西装来说必不可少。一条上档次的领带会使你看上去魅力十足。那条带斑点的怎么样?肯定是最新款式。

亨利:我不喜欢带斑点的。

玛丽亚:那条斜纹的领带怎么样?我觉得你会喜欢。

亨利:好的,让我来试一下。

你不可不知的海外礼仪:加拿大人的着装文化

加拿大人的着装文化

不管是生活在加拿大的中国人还是外国人,绝大多数场合下,他们的穿着都非常随便,不拘泥于形式。T恤、牛仔裤和运动鞋,可以说是最常见的搭配,休闲装、休闲鞋越来越多地受到人们的喜欢。人们、穿着的总原则是:舒适、美观、大方。

如今,在中国、日本、香港和欧洲等地,时常可以看到不少人穿着整齐,西装、领带加皮鞋。而在北美,这一装扮只有在去教堂或参加婚礼、葬礼、毕业典礼等非常正式的场合才用得着。

不过,有一点要注意,外国人请客吃饭,一般情况下都重在交流感情,吃饭只是借口,极少有中国人请客吃饭的气势。除非在正式的请帖上注明要穿礼服,否则就别穿得太整齐,以免大家都尴尬。

所以,在加拿大拥有一、二套礼服就够了。由于在北美定做礼服十分昂贵,所以如果有条件的话,可以从国内带一、二套衣服备用。当然,既然是礼服,虽不要求必须穿名牌,但最好能尽量地合身挺括,抓住本来就不多的机会,将中国人的风采展露一番。切记不能像在国内时的近似于便服的穿戴。西服套装虽不长穿,但还是很重要的,因为有些工作会要求经常穿西装。

加拿大大多数地方的人士对名牌的追求没有国内热衷,各种传媒的名牌时装广告也不多。除了少数富人聚集的地方外,商店大多以减价来招揽生意。追求名牌的加拿大人中,大多为青少年。除了因对一些球星崇拜而爱屋及乌,和对一些体育用品如NIKE等,有普遍的偏好以外,对在欧亚各地流行的许多名牌知之甚少。

国内有种说法,称从国外回去的人有“三气”,即“说话洋气,花钱小气,穿着土气”。这从另一方面反映了加拿大的服装文化。
