Para 1&2,我们不断变化的生活方式：潮流和时尚 如今，生活方式有种迅速变化的趋势迅速变化的不仅仅只是一年流行而第二年就过时的服饰和发型，而是整个生活方式 曾几何时，人们戴帽子，穿牛仔裤，喝白葡萄酒，到日本餐馆就餐，每天跑几英里健身但到了第二年，所有这一切都变了：妇女们穿长裙，人们喝昂贵的法国进口水，到意大利餐馆就餐，似乎每个人都在健身俱乐部里锻炼身体译 文,,Para 3,现代生活中几乎没有什么能逃过时尚的影响：食品、音乐、运动、书籍、语言、电影、家具，甚至名字都会经历时髦或者过时的过程人们追随的兴趣爱好会很快地改变译 文,,Para 4,在美国，甚至人也可以变得时尚或者过时美国人喜欢追随名人的生活方式：演员、体育明星、著名艺人、政治家等但是美国人也十分注意一点特殊才能都没有的人比如，1981 年，一位名不见经传的老妇人出现在一个电视广告里，她看着一只很小的汉堡包，大声抱怨道：“牛肉呢？” 这三个字使她成了名一时之间，她在杂志、报纸和电视上频频亮相，一下子大受欢迎，成了时尚但是，这种名声并不持久这种人只是在很短的一段时间里为众人所知——他们只是时尚译 文,,Para 5,是什么使这种时尚来得快也去得快？尽管时装设计师影响时装潮流为的是赚钱，但这种赚钱的欲望并不能解释其他方面的时尚，例如语言。

比如，为什么青少年在过去25年里的不同时代，谈话时使用“groovy（帅呆了）”或者“awesome（太棒了）”这样的词，而不只说“wonderful（好极了）”了呢？据一位流行文化专家说，追随时尚的人并不是愚蠢或爱慕虚荣；他们只是想成为富有创造性的新事物的一部分译 文,,Para 6,不过，时尚并不只是美国才有任何经济强国（如英国、日本、德国）都有时尚但是，在美国，时尚发生另有原因：大多数美国人似乎觉得，如果他们的生活没有发生频繁的变化，那一定有什么地方不对劲了译 文,,Para 7&8,有时候很难区别时尚和潮流时尚持续时间很短，也不太重要但是一种社会潮流能长时间存在，并且真正成为现代文化的一部分例如，使用个人电脑是一种潮流，而使用某种电脑游戏只可能成为一种时尚 谁知道今后的生活方式又会发生什么样的变化呢？,译 文,,Model: It is not only clothing and hairstyles that are in style one year and out of date the next; it’s a whole way of living.Key: It is more than just clothing and hairstyles that are in style one year and out of date the next; it’s a whole way of living.,A.
