Fashion is clothing that is in style at a particular time. The concept of fashion implies a process of style change, because fashions in dress, as well as in furniture and other objects, have taken very different forms at different times in history. Thus, the English playwright William Shakespeare observed in the 16th century that "the fashion wears out more apparel (衣服) than the man".
Back in Shakespeare’s day, only upper-class people dressed fashionably; the mass of the rural peasants wore simple clothing that hardly changed over many generations. Since the beginning of the 20th century, however, fashions have changed rapidly. We would look strange indeed if we wore the styles our great-grandparents wore. And most people—at least in the West—follow fashion to some extent, because fashion refers to much mom than the exclusive and expensive clothing produced by leading designers. Even schoolchildren are aware that fashions exist, and change, in running shoes. Nevertheless, we do tend to distinguish, however imprecisely, between basic clothing, such as blue jeans and T-shirts, and the latest fashions created by fashion designers.
Fashion reflects the society of which it is a part. It has been influenced by wars, conquests, laws, religion, and the arts. Individual personalities have also had an impact on fashion. Royal families and heads of state have sot fashion, and in the 20th century media stats have emerged as leaders of fashion. French writer Anatole France said that if he could come back to Earth 100 years after his death and have only one thing w read, he would choose a fashion magazine because that would show him the way people lived.
Fashion also has its critics, who have at times blamed fashion for being irrational, frivolous (轻佻的), and immoral. Why should pink be in fashion one season and gray the next season? Why do people follow fashion like sheep when they have enough clothes already? A common criticism is that fashion designers accelerate fashion change to create new business. Yet no new fashion succeeds until people are ready to accept it. The final decision about what to buy, or whether to buy anything at all, belongs to the consumer. In essence, fashions change because many people like new and different styles. [br] What does Shakespeare’s remark imply?
选项
A、Fashionable clothes are easily to wear out.
B、Clothing changes faster than men do.
C、Fashion makes more clothes poor in quality.
D、Clothing becomes unfashionable long before it has worn out.
答案
D
解析
文章第一段提到了莎士比亚说过的一句话“the fashion wears out more apparel than the man”——时尚比人磨损了更多的衣服,言下之意就是说衣服还没有被人穿坏前就被时尚淘汰了,那么选项D正好符合这一解释。本题的关键是找出这句话中形成比较的两个事物。
