時間: 楚欣650 分享

  摘要:今年的圣誕季將會是近年來最丑的一次,但這正中許多服裝零售商的下懷。你知道怎么用英語表達(dá)圣誕季嗎?

  This is one of the ugliest Christmas seasons in recent memories — and that's the way some clothing retailers want it.

  Sales of Christmas sweaters purposely designed to be ugly are looking pretty good at this point, according to the companies that make them.

  "If you are trying to go truly ugly, it's all about the embellishments — the more garland, bells, balls, lights, and sequins you can attach to your sweater, the better," Tipsy Elves CEO Evan Mendelsohn said.

  Fashion experts believed that even though ugly — and colorful — sweaters are in fashion, context is everything.

  今年的圣誕季將會是近年來最丑的一次,但這正中許多服裝零售商的下懷。

  圣誕毛衣廠商表示,故意做丑的圣誕毛衣今年銷量看好。

  Tipsy Elves首席執(zhí)行官埃文•門德爾松表示,“如果想將衣服做到奇丑無比,裝飾物是關(guān)鍵。毛衣上的花環(huán)、鈴鐺、小球、燈以及小金屬片越多越好。”

  時尚達(dá)人們則認(rèn)為,雖然這些難看、鮮艷的毛衣很流行,但節(jié)日氛圍才是重點(diǎn)。

  【講解】

  文中的Christmas season就是“圣誕季”的意思,其中season作名詞,可指以氣候為標(biāo)志的“時節(jié)”,如:rainy season(雨季),也可以指活動為標(biāo)志的季節(jié)或體育比賽的“賽季”,如:tourist season(旅游季節(jié)),the basketball season(籃球賽季)

  第一段中的retailer是名詞,意為“零售商(店)”,相關(guān)詞匯:retail(零售),wholesaler(批發(fā)商),wholesale(批發(fā)),如:Over the past decade, Amazon.com has continued to dominate the online retail market in the United States.(在過去十年當(dāng)中,亞馬遜依然統(tǒng)治著美國在線零售市場。)
