oneyearandoutofdatethenext;it’sawholewayofliving.Para.1我們不斷變化的生活方式：潮流和時尚如今，生活方式有種迅速變化的趨勢。迅速變化的不僅僅只是一年流行而第二年就過時的服飾和發(fā)型，而是整個生活方式。Oneyear,peoplewearhatsandbluejeans;theydrinkwhitewineandeatatJapaneserestaurants:forexercisetheyrunseveralmilesaday.Thenextyear,however,everythinghaschanged:womenwearlongskirts;peopledrinkexpensivewaterfromFrance,andeatatItalianrestaurants:everyoneseemstobeexercisingathealthclubs.Para.2曾幾何時，人們戴帽子，穿牛仔褲，喝白葡萄酒，到日本餐館就餐，每天跑幾英里健身。但到了第二年，所有這一切都變了：婦女們穿長裙，人們喝昂貴的法國進口水，到意大利餐館就餐，似乎每個人都在健身俱樂部里鍛煉身體。

Almostnothinginmodernlifegetsawayfromtheinfluenceoffashion:food,music,exercise,books,language,movies,furniture,andevennamesgoinandoutoffashion.Theintereststhatpeoplefollowcanchangeveryquickly.Para.3現(xiàn)代生活中幾乎沒有什么能逃過時尚的影響：食品、音樂、運動、書籍、語言、電影、家具，甚至名字都會經(jīng)歷時髦或者過時的過程。人們追隨的興趣愛好會很快地改變。

IntheUnitedStates,evenpeoplecanbe“in”or“out”.Americansenjoyfollowingthelivesoffamouspeople:actors,sportsheroes,well-knownartists,politicians,andthelike.Para.4

在美國，甚至人也可以變得時尚或者過時。美國人喜歡追隨名人的生活方式：演員、體育明星、著名藝人、政治家等。但是美國人也十分注意一點特殊才能都沒有的人。ButAmericansalsopayalotofattentiontopeoplewhohavenospecialabilityatall.In1981,forexample,anunknownelderlywomanappearedinaTVadvertisementinwhichshelookedataverysmallhamburgerandcomplainedloudly,“Where’sthebeef?”Thesethreewordsmadeherfamous.Suddenlysheappearedinmagazinesandnewspapers,andonTVshows.Shewasimmediatelypopular.Shewas“in”.However,thiskindoffamedoesnotlastlong.Suchpeoplearefamousforaveryshorttime—theyarefads.Para.4比如，1981年，一位名不見經(jīng)傳的老婦人出現(xiàn)在一個電視廣告里，她看著一只很小的漢堡包，大聲抱怨道：“牛肉呢？”這三個字使她成了名。一時之間，她在雜志、報紙和電視上頻頻亮相，一下子大受歡迎，成了時尚。但是，這種名聲并不持久。這種人只是在很短的一段時間里為眾人所知——他們只是時尚。Whatcausessuchfadstocomeandgo?Althoughclothingdesignersinfluencefadsinfashionbecausetheywanttomakemoney,thisdesireformoneydoesn’texplainfadsinotherareas,suchaslanguage.Para.5是什么使這種時尚來得快也去得快？盡管時裝設(shè)計師影響時裝潮流為的是賺錢，但這種賺錢的欲望并不能解釋其他方面的時尚，例如語言。Forexample,whyhaveteenagersinthepasttwenty-fiveyearsused—atdifferenttimes—thewordsgroovyorawesomeinconversationinsteadofsimplysayingwonderful?Accordingtoanexpertinpopularculture,peoplewhofollowfadsarenotfoolishorvain;theysimplywanttobepartofsomethingnewandcreative.Para.5比如，為什么青少年在過去25年里的不同時代，談話時使用“groovy（帥呆了）”或者“awesome（太棒了）”這樣的詞，而不只說“wonderful（好極了）”了呢？據(jù)一位流行文化專家說，追隨時尚的人并不是愚蠢或愛慕虛榮；他們只是想成為富有創(chuàng)造性的新事物的一部分。FadsarenotlimitedtotheUnitedStates,however.Fadsarecommoninanycountrythathasastrongeconomy(e.g.Britain,Japan,andGermany).However,intheUnitedStates,thereisanadditionalreasonforfads:

mostAmericansseemtofeelthatsomethingiswrongifthereisn’tfrequentchangeintheirlives.Para.6

不過，時尚并不只是美國才有。任何經(jīng)濟強國（如英國、日本、德國）都有時尚。但是，在美國，時尚發(fā)生另有原因：大多數(shù)美國人似乎覺得，如果他們的生活沒有發(fā)生頻繁的變化，那一定有什么地方不對勁了。It’ssometimesdifficulttoseethedifferencebetweenafadandatrend.Afadlastsaveryshorttimeandisnotveryimportant.Asocialtrend,however,survivesalongtimeandbecomesatruepartofmodernculture.Theuseofpersonalcomputers,forexample,isatrend;afad,ontheotherhand,couldbetheuseofcertaintypesofcomputergames.Whoknowswhatchangesinlifestylewillhappennext?Para.7&8有時候很難區(qū)別時尚和潮流。時尚持續(xù)時間很短，也不太重要。但是一種社會潮流能長時間存在，并且真正成為現(xiàn)代文化的一部分。例如，使用個人電腦是一種潮流，而使用某種電腦游戲只可能成為一種時尚。誰知道今后的生活方式又會發(fā)生什么樣的變化呢？
