外国人眼中的"名牌"是什么?

发布时间：2016-03-04 编辑：查字典英语网小编

I never pay attention to fashion and brands. I wear what I feel is comfortable and convenient. Decades ago, my 10-year-old Italian nephew asked me for jeans from Canada when I visited.

我从不关心时尚与名牌。我只穿感觉舒适的衣服。几十年前，我10岁大的意大利侄子要我去看他时送他一条加拿大当地产的牛仔裤。

　　Upon seeing them, he exclaimed they were not Levis. "What does Levis mean?" I asked naively.

　　当见到他们一家时，我的侄子大声说这不是李维斯。我直言不讳地问道：“李维斯是什么意思？”

　　Later, I was preparing to come to China when my Sichuan friend ordered jeans for her daughter. "You mean Levis, I guess?"

　　后来，当我准备来中国的时候，一位四川的朋友托我为她的女儿买牛仔裤。“我猜，你是想要李维斯的？”

　　 "No, Benetton," she said.

　　她回答说：“不，是贝纳通的。”

　　Living in China I realize the impact brands have on people here. Once I bought a pair of sandals because I needed sandals. More non-Chinese than Chinese told me, "Wow! You wear them? You have money!" I didn\'t know why they thought 150-yuan ($22) sandals - obviously fake - were for wealthy people. I had never heard that brand name (which I can\'t remember) before.

生活在中国，我意识到名牌对人们的影响无处不在。一次我由于需要买了双凉鞋。许多人都对我说：“哇！你穿这个牌子的鞋？真有钱！”这其中外国人的比例要超过中国人。我不明白为什么他们会认为标价150元（合22美元）的凉鞋（很明显是仿冒品）只能是富人的专属。另外我之前从没听过那个牌子（我已经记不清叫什么名字了）。
