Pair of Lovebirds – 恋爱中的一对儿

picture-005

This pair of lovebirds view fashion as a way to express one’s own personality, and not as a representation of status. They say there are many good domestic fashion brands catering to women, but not so many for men. I asked them whether or not they were willing to wear second-hand clothing. The young lady said that she has not worn second hand clothing, but she has started to sell her own old clothes on Taobao. She explained: “Girls already have too much clothing. They tend to wear each piece only a few times.” Her boyfriend said that he would consider wearing second hand clothing.

这恋爱中的漂亮的一对儿觉得时尚是一种表达自己个性的方式,而不一定代表地位。关于自己喜欢的外国或者国内的牌子,他们说现在国内有很多好的女装品牌,男装基本上还没有好的牌子。我问他们愿不愿意穿二手的衣服。女孩子说她还没有买过二手的东西,但是她开始在淘宝上卖她自己已经穿过的衣服。她解释说:“女孩子的衣服已经太多了,穿了几次就不会再穿了。他的男朋友说他以后会考虑穿二手的衣服。

They are students at the University of International Business and Economics. The young lady studies finance, while the young man does media. I think this 1.9 meter dude is quite handsome, but some of my Chinese readers might disagree with this perspective, because of that old cliche: “Chinese and Western standards of beauty are completely different.” As for the girl, she’s also attractive. She always wears this particular expression. I think it is a bit cute, very much like a glamorous Paris woman.

他们是外经贸大学的学生。女孩子学的是金融,男孩子他学的是传媒。我觉得这位身高190公分的男孩子长得很帅,但是我的一些中国读者可能会不同意我的观点 ,因为这种陈词滥调的看法 ——中国人和西方人的审美观不一样。 这个女孩子呢,也漂亮。她总喜欢这个表情,我觉得有点可爱,很像个有魅力的巴黎女士。

    I think his style is quite reminiscent of nineties britpop – very much like Blur. I think they make a very handsome couple

    i agree, asian and western standards of beauty are often VERY DIFFERENT–especially when it comes to judging asian beauty. however, i myself as an asian actually agree with your opinion of asian beauty in this situation–both of them really are quite attractive. :)
