Dressing for School 上学着装
Sarah: Okay, John, let's talk about fashion. You know, I have students and I think sometimes they don't, they don't dress appropriately for the classroom.
萨拉:好,约翰,我们来谈谈时尚。你知道,我教学生,有时我认为他们的课堂着装不太得体。
John: Oh yeah. Sometimes, it looks like students are wearing the clothes which they will plan to wear at night, to go out and go to a party with friends.
约翰:好。看起来有时学生上课时穿的衣服,是他们为晚上出去玩或是和朋友去参加派对准备的。
Sarah: Yeah. So actually, I think school uniforms are great. I would make the teachers wear the school uniform, too.
萨拉:没错。所以我认为校服是很好。我希望老师也穿校服。
John: I agree with you.
约翰:我同意你的观点。
Sarah: Because I think when we talk about appropriate clothing, I think girls very often take most of the blame for that. But I think it's our society, and we can fix the problem by having a uniform for girls and boys and teachers, and we can feel like part of a team.
萨拉:就得体的服装来说,我认为女孩经常因此遭受指责。我认为这是我们的社会,我们可以通过要求女生、男生和老师穿校服来改正这个问题,而且这样我们也可以有团队感。
John: I know there are a lot of problems of school uniform. First of all, students don't want to all dress the same.
约翰:我知道校服有很多问题。首先,学生不想穿一样的衣服。
Sarah: Hmm.
萨拉:嗯。
John: But there's other problems. Usually, when schools have a uniform, the boys wear pants and the girls have to wear a dress or a skirt. I don't think that's fair.
约翰:还有其他问题。如果学校提供校服,通常男生是裤子,女生是裙子或短裙。我认为这并不公平。
Sarah: I agree. I don't think that's fair either. I think a lot of schools these days they can let the girls choose. And so the girls can wear shorts or pants.
萨拉:我同意。我也认为那不公平。我认为现在许多学校让女生选择着装。所以女生可以穿短裤或裤子。
John: Well, that's good. I think even beyond the pants or a skirt issue, there should be some flexibility to customize your uniform, whether you want to wear shirts that are a different color, even if they're in the same style. Or you want to have some pins or patches or some other accessories.
约翰:这很好。我认为除了裤子或短裙,在定制校服时应该更灵活,你是否想穿不同颜色的衬衫,即使它们是同样的款式?或者你想佩戴胸针、贴片或其他饰品。
Sarah: Do you think as a teacher, would you say something to your student if your student if your student came to class and maybe, for example, it was a boy and his pants were very low and you could see his underwear. Or maybe it was a girl and you thought, "Oh no, her shorts are a little too short." What do you think you would do?
萨拉:作为老师,如果你的学生……假设有个男生穿着低腰裤来上课,你可以看到他的内裤,那你会不会说那个学生?或者就女生来说,你认为“哦不,她的短裤真的太短了”。你会怎么做?
John: Hmm, wow, that's a difficult question. I have to say, I don't think I have been in that situation. I guess I'm lucky enough my students haven't pushed the limit too far. But I feel that I would say something if a student came to class in clothing that was, in my opinion, too inappropriate. I would ask them to, probably to, if not leave the class, at least don't wear clothes like that next time. What about you?
约翰:嗯,哇哦,这是一个很难回答的问题。我要说的是,我想我没遇到过这种情况。我很幸运,因为我的学生没有挑战规定。不过,如果有学生上课的着装在我看来不太得体,那我会说他们的。我可能不会让他们离开教室,但至少我会让他们下次不要再穿成这样来上课。你呢?
Sarah: Well, I had a student, and he came to class with a jacket. And it looks like a very expensive jacket but it had a very bad word written on the jacket.
萨拉:嗯,我有一个学生,有一次他上课时穿了件夹克。那件夹克看上去很贵,可是上面有脏话。
John: Oh.
约翰:哦。
Sarah: And after class finished, I told him to, "Wait, please." And I told him that he probably shouldn't wear that jacket to class, or maybe, he shouldn't wear it anymore at all. It just isn't very appropriate. And he came to class next time and he had the jacket but he had taken it to a shop and they had taken the bad word off of the jacket. And so, I was very happy to see that, that he changed his behavior and now he could dress the way he liked but also be appropriate.
萨拉:下课以后,我跟他说,“请你等一下。”然后我告诉他,他不应该穿这样的夹克来上课,也许他不应该再穿那件夹克了。那件衣服不太得体。下次他来上课时,他还是穿的那件夹克,不过他去店里把衣服上的脏话弄掉了。我很高兴他改变了他的行为,现在他依然可以穿他喜欢的衣服,而且衣服也很得体。
John: Well, that sounds very good. That's very effective.
约翰:听起来真好。那是十分有效的方法。
Dressing for Work 上班着装
Sarah: So John, what do you think about tattoos and piercings?
萨拉:约翰,你怎么看纹身和穿孔?
John: Oh. Well, I think they're okay. Personally, I have my ears pierced, and I have many tattoos. But in the professional world, different people have different ideas. So I had to make sure all of my tattoos can be covered by a t-shirt, so any person who sees me doesn't know that I have any tattoos. But I personally think tattoos are okay. So if I saw a police officer with many tattoos on her arms and her neck, I wouldn't have a problem with it. What about you?
约翰:哦。我认为那没什么问题。我有耳洞,而且我也有很多纹身。但在职场上,不同的人有不同的看法。我要确保T恤能遮住我的纹身,这样人们就不知道我有很多纹身。不过我个人认为纹身不是问题。如果我看到女警胳膊上和脖子上有很多纹身,我并不觉得那是问题。你呢?
Sarah: Do you think in the future, maybe as you and I grow up, it will become more common to go to the doctor or maybe go to the bank and you see people, and they are professional people, but they have visible tattoos or earrings? I also have a tattoo. So I think they're okay.
萨拉:你认为未来,也许在你和我都成熟以后,我们去看医生或去银行时,会看到那些职业人士露出纹身和穿孔吗?这种现象会更普遍吗?我也有纹身。所以我也认为这不是问题。
John: I agree. I think that in the future, it will be more and more commonplace to see people who have visible tattoos and piercings. Of course, right now, people are having more and more visible tattoos that are very small. But maybe in the future, tattoos will be bigger and bigger. I think it's the same with piercings. Nowadays, it's normal to see women and men who have their ears pierced. But it's still not common to see a professional working with their nose pierced or their eyebrows pierced. Maybe in the future that will be common as well.
约翰:我同意。我认为未来,看到人们露出纹身和穿孔会更普遍。当然,现在人们会露出那种很小的纹身。不过也许以后,人们露出的纹身会越来越大。我认为穿孔也是如此。现在,女性和男性打耳洞是很平常的事。不过,现在并不常见到职业人士戴鼻环或眉环。也许未来这些现象也会更常见。
Sarah: I think so. But one thing that I think won't change is professional clothing. I think these days and the future, I think a nice suit, a professional collared shirt, ironed pants – I think those type of clothes are really important for your job or for the type of job if you want a promotion. And I think in the future, we'll see people with really nice professional clothing and then they might have visible tattoos or earrings. I think your clothes show how important your job is to you.
萨拉:我也是这么认为的。不过我认为职业着装是不会改变的。无论是现在还是未来,得体的西装、职业有领衬衣、熨好的裤子等,我认为这类衣服对你的工作非常重要,如果你想升职的话,这类衣服对你的工作类型很重要。未来,我们可能看到人们穿着得体的职业着装,露出纹身和穿孔。我认为着装能显示出工作对你的重要性。
John: I see what you're saying. If I was trying to hire a lawyer and I saw two lawyers and both of them had tattoos and their ears pierced, but if one of the lawyers was wearing a suit, even if that person have tattoos and piercings, if they're wearing a suit, I would rather choose that lawyer than someone who had tattoos and piercings who was wearing a t-shirt and shorts.
约翰:我明白你的意思。如果我要聘请一名律师,我看到两名律师都有纹身,而且戴耳环,但是其中一人穿着西装,即使那个人有纹身和穿孔,可是如果他穿着西装的话,我也会选择他,而不是那个有纹身和穿孔,但是穿着T恤和短裤的人。
Sarah: Uh-hmm.
萨拉:嗯。
John: So I agree with you that the clothing is more important for professional image.
约翰:我同意你的观点,衣着对职业形象更重要。
Sarah: What do you think – these days, some of the computer companies or tech startups, the CEOs are young people and they'll go to work wearing jeans or shorts and a t-shirt. And they like to portray a casual atmosphere through their clothes. What do you think about that?
萨拉:现在有些计算机公司或科技初创公司的首席执行官是年轻人,他们会穿着牛仔裤或短裤T恤上班。他们希望用穿着营造轻松的氛围。你对此有什么看法?
John: Well, in my opinion, the environment at a job, as long as everyone working there is in the same environment, maybe they should be able to choose what kind of professional attire is appropriate inside of that company. But the problem would arise when those workers have to interact with people from another company. So if another company has a dress code where everyone is wearing suits and these two companies have to work together, there might be a problem.
约翰:在我看来,就工作环境来说,所有员工都在同一个环境,也许应该让员工选择适合公司的职业装。不过,因为这些员工要和其他公司的人接触,这样做可能会产生问题。如果其他公司有着装规定,要求员工穿西装,而这两家公司要一起工作,那可能就会有问题产生。
Sarah: It's strange that clothes seem like they're so important. The knowledge and the product should be important but I think everyone looks at the clothes and makes a judgment.
萨拉:着装如此重要其实很奇怪。知识和产品应该更重要,不过我认为所有人都会根据他人的着装去做判断。
John: Yeah. It's interesting that we all know the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" but we can't help but do that. Everyone is judging people by what they wear, and that's not going to change.
约翰:对。有意思的是,我们都知道“不要以貌取人”这句话,可是我们却不由自主地去这样做。所有人都通过其他人的穿着来评判他们,这种情况不会改变。
Sarah: I agree.
萨拉:我同意。

威杜里:对。
Danu: That's interesting. That sounds very funny.
达努:有意思,听上去非常好笑。

威杜里:对,没错。这种蛋糕非常小。所以我们称之为cubit。就好像把蛋糕捏扁一样。这种蛋糕虽然小小,但是很甜。你可以在上面放巧克力或绿茶,还可以涂草莓酱。
Danu: I see. So Widuri, could you talk about dinner in Indonesia?
达努:我知道了。威杜里,你能说说印尼的晚餐吗?

You know, sometimes, the toppings makes you fat.
