论追求时尚 On the Pursuit of Fashion

Fashion is the style and custom popular at a certain period, and is most commonly used to describe the popular clothing style. There are so many fashions promoted every year, even every season. Therefore, it's difficult for the general people to follow all the time. In my opinion, we can pursueof fashion, but it should be followed with appropriate means.

时尚是某一特定时期流行的风格和风俗，普遍被用来描述流行时装风格。每一年都有很多时尚被推广，甚至是每个季节。因此，普通的人们很难总是追随时尚。在我看来，我们可以追求时尚，但是应该以适当的方法追随。

First of all, people always try their best to look good, and the standards of beauty are different in various periods. People pursueof fashions can make them look better and well accepted by others. With the pursuit of fashions, people may try new activities and experience new products, which have enormously beneficial effects on social civilization and the development of science and technology.

首先，人们总是尽最大努力使他们看上去好看，美丽的标准在不同时期是不相同的。人们追求时尚可以使他们看起来更美更好地被他人所接受。由于对时尚的追求，人们可能会尝试新的活动以及体验新的产品，这对社会文明和科学技术的发展产生很大的有利影响。

However, the pursuit of fashion should be reasonable and practical. When we blindly follow the trend only to show off, the pursuit of fashion will become the pursuit of luxury and waste. It's easy for the fashion followers to be sucked into commercial traps and lead them far away from their original objectives and values. The meaningless fashions may cause great wastes of our social resources. Besides, some people think that the pursuit of fashion is the pursuit of expensive things. It's a wrong understanding of fashion, and it will do harm to the fashion itself.

但是，追求时尚应该合理和实际。当我们盲目跟随潮流只是为了炫耀的时候，追求时尚就会变成追求奢侈和浪费。时尚跟随者很容易陷入商业陷阱中，致使他们远离最初的目标和价值。毫无意义的时尚可能会引起社会资源的浪费。此外，有的人认为追求时尚就是追求昂贵的东西。这是一种对时尚的错误理解，并且对时尚本身也有害。

Fashion is a good thing if we pursuit in appropriate means. It will help us to make a good image and build confidence. But we must remember that what suits ourselves best is unique for everyone and will never be out of date.

如果我们以适当的方式追求，时尚就是件好事。她会帮助我们塑造一个好形象，树立自信。但是我们必须牢记最适合我们的对每个人来说就是独一无二的，就永远不会过时。
