谈论:旧衣相关[1]

　　Todd: Hey, Marion, I like you outfit. Nice jeans and T-shirt.

　　Marion: Oh, thank you. Todd: Where did you get it?

　　Marion: Actually, my T-shirt is a hand-me-down from a friend of mine whos leaving so she gave me some of her clothes. Todd: Oh, really. Ah, OK. See, thats cool, like if I know the person who wore the shirt before, Ill wear it, but I will never go to a second hand clothing store or a used clothing store (Really) I think thats disgusting.

　　Marion: Why? Todd: Well, I mean, you dont know who wore it before.

　　Marion: But theyre washed, Todd. You know! Todd: Yeah, but, OK, first of all, what if the person who wore it was just the type or person you really hated. Theres something about the person that you just really didnt like, and then, now youre wearing that persons clothes. Doesnt that disgust you?

　　Marion: No, do think a persons personality rubs off on their clothes (No, but) and then it survives the wash cycle in your washing machine? Todd: OK. Right. Right. I see what youre saying, but Ill put it to you this way. Imagine that you work with somebody.

　　Marion: Yes. Todd: Ok, at your job, is there somebody that you dont like.

　　Marion: Yes. Todd: OK, now imagine that theres a clothing bin and people can put clothes in there and you see a shirt and you like it, and youre just about to take it and someone says, thats that persons shirt. Would you still take it?

　　Marion: Mm, I probably wouldnt. Todd: Right. See. See.

　　Marion: Yeah, but only because I wouldnt want to feel like that person had done me a favor in some way. (Right) I wouldnt want to be beholden to that person if I dont like them. Todd: Right. Yeah. I mean, I dont know. I guess its good to have second hand clothes if people dont have anything, you know for charity and things like that.

　　Marion: Yeah. Well, actually, when I was in college, I didnt have very much money, so the only c clothes I could buy were second-hand clothes so I actually really got to like going around the charity shops and finding clothes that I really liked, so nothing that was following the trends of the moment, but in college that really doesnt matter. I think its better to wear something if you feel comfortable in, and I think theres a real sense of achievement when you find something that youve wanted for God-knows-how-long, for example, I found a brown suede jacket one time in a charity shop, and I thought, Oh, my God. This is exactly the type of suede jacket that I have been longing for, but I could never afford that jacket at full-price, even at half-price in a normal shop. I could never have had it, so actually most of my wardrobe at home is second hand clothes I would say, and I love it. I will go to a second hand clothes shop before a normal clothes shop any day. Its so much more fun. Todd: Well, thats very interesting. You have fun shopping at those stores

　　Marion: I will.
