美语情景对话 第1368期:Do students dress inappropriately in your country? 你们国家的学生穿着不当吗?

Lucille: Hello, I'm Lucille from France.

露西尔：大家好，我是露西尔，来自法国。

Lasse: And hello, my name is Lasse, and I come from Denmark. And today's question is do students in your country dress inappropriately? Do they do that in France?

拉斯：大家好，我是拉斯，我来自丹麦。今天要讨论的问题是你们国家的学生穿着不当吗？法国学生会穿着不当吗？

Lucille: Actually, I think it really depends on the age because if we just talk about school as we are talking about students, it is true that in high school, in main high school we have really strict rules. That means you sign a contract when you go to the school, saying that for girls for example, you won't show too much of your shoulders, or you won't like skirts that are like too short, and for guys you can't have like pants with a hole where you can see stuff. You really need to dress like properly, and actually if you don't you receive like some sanction. You need to go home and change yourself, and it's written in your file. That's really about high school, so I don't know about Denmark.

露西尔：实际上，我认为这取决于年龄，因为如果我们只谈论学校和学生，那事实是，法国主要高中的规定非常严格。这意味着学生在上学时要遵守规定，举例来说，女孩不能穿过于露肩的衣服，也不能穿太短的短裙，男生不能穿可以看到腿部的破洞裤。学生要穿着得体，实际上如果学生不遵守规定会被惩罚。他们必须回家换衣服，而且这会被记录在档案里。法国高中是这样的，我不知道丹麦是什么情况。

Lasse: As far as I remember and think back, I can't remember I've ever been or heard about any regulations whatsoever about which clothes you can wear, and which clothes you cannot. However, I still think that ... everybody thinks about, most people at least think about what clothes would not be the thing to wear today for class and et cetera, but no, not in terms of regulations, not in terms of any rules no. But do you think there should be rules, so should it be more like decide yourself?

拉斯：凭我的记忆，我回想了一下，我不记得有哪种衣服能穿、哪种衣服不能穿这种规定。不过我还记得，所有人都认为，至少大多数人认为哪种衣服不适合上学穿，但是学校没有强制规定，我记得有规定。你认为应该有规定吗？还是应该由学生自己决定？

Lucille: I think it was good to have some rules, but at the same time it was really like restrictive and people were like going against it, like an act of rebellion, so the more you repress them, they won't actually wear those clothes, so as soon as they were out of those schools, they were completely wearing it in an extreme way, so I'm not sure if it's a good idea, especially in high school, where people try to find themselves, and they actually construct themselves in a rebellious way, so maybe not.

露西尔：我认为有规定是好事，但由于规定是约束性，人们可能会想去违反它，这就想一种叛逆心理，加大压制措施后，他们可能在学校里不会穿那些不合要求的衣服，但他们一走出校门，就会以一种极端的方式去穿那些衣服，我不确定有规定是不是个好主意，尤其是在高中，这是学生们努力发现自己的时期，规定可能会使他们走向叛逆，这样看也许不应该制定规定。

Lasse: Maybe not. Maybe not. But anyhow, how does it work in your country? Are people allowed to dress risky or inappropriate in any way? And does it happen?

拉斯：也许不应该。也许不应该有规定。听众朋友们，你们国家是什么情况？人们可以穿着不当吗？会有这种情况吗？
