論追求時尚 On the Pursuit of Fashion

Fashion is the style and custom popular at a certain period, and is most commonly used to describe the popular clothing style. There are so many fashions promoted every year, even every season. Therefore, it's difficult for the general people to follow all the time. In my opinion, we can pursueof fashion, but it should be followed with appropriate means.

時尚是某一特定時期流行的風格和風俗，普遍被用來描述流行時裝風格。每一年都有很多時尚被推廣，甚至是每個季節。因此，普通的人們很難總是追隨時尚。在我看來，我們可以追求時尚，但是應該以適當的方法追隨。

First of all, people always try their best to look good, and the standards of beauty are different in various periods. People pursueof fashions can make them look better and well accepted by others. With the pursuit of fashions, people may try new activities and experience new products, which have enormously beneficial effects on social civilization and the development of science and technology.

首先，人們總是盡最大努力使他們看上去好看，美麗的標準在不同時期是不相同的。人們追求時尚可以使他們看起來更美更好地被他人所接受。由於對時尚的追求，人們可能會嘗試新的活動以及體驗新的產品，這對社會文明和科學技術的發展產生很大的有利影響。

However, the pursuit of fashion should be reasonable and practical. When we blindly follow the trend only to show off, the pursuit of fashion will become the pursuit of luxury and waste. It's easy for the fashion followers to be sucked into commercial traps and lead them far away from their original objectives and values. The meaningless fashions may cause great wastes of our social resources.  Besides, some people think that the pursuit of fashion is the pursuit of expensive things. It's a wrong understanding of fashion, and it will do harm to the fashion itself.

但是，追求時尚應該合理和實際。當我們盲目跟隨潮流只是爲了炫耀的時候，追求時尚就會變成追求奢侈和浪費。時尚跟隨者很容易陷入商業陷阱中，致使他們遠離最初的目標和價值。毫無意義的時尚可能會引起社會資源的浪費。此外，有的人認爲追求時尚就是追求昂貴的東西。這是一種對時尚的錯誤理解，並且對時尚本身也有害。

Fashion is a good thing if we pursuit in appropriate means. It will help us to make a good image and build confidence. But we must remember that what suits ourselves best is unique for everyone and will never be out of date.

如果我們以適當的方式追求，時尚就是件好事。她會幫助我們塑造一個好形象，樹立自信。但是我們必須牢記最適合我們的對每個人來說就是獨一無二的，就永遠不會過時。
