My View on Following the Fashion(我对赶时髦的看法)
My View on Following the Fashion
Nowadays more and more young people prefer to follow the fashion. On this phenomenon, different people have different views. It is held that one should follow the fashion so as not to be despised or considered eccentric. But it is also held that one should have one's own judgment.
Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progressing and one should adapt oneself to the constant change. In their opinion, if everyone always sticks to the old fashion, there won't be any change and naturally there won't be progress. In contrast, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn't follow the fashion without discrimination and one should have one's own judgment and characteristics.
As for me, I agree with the latter opinion. Admittedly, one should be flexible and adapt himself to the situation, but this is not to say that one should follow the fashion without discrimination because the fashion may not be beneficial.We should consider whether the fashion is favorable or unfavorable. Moreover, one should have one's own characteristics. If everyone follows the same fashion, there will not be variety and the whole society will be monotonous.
我对赶时髦的看法
现在越来越多的年轻人喜欢赶时髦，对于这一现象，不同的人有不同的看法。有人认为为了不被轻视或被认为古怪应该赶时髦，但是也有人认为应该有自己的判断。
那些持第一种观点的人认为社会在进步应该使自己适应不断的变化。他们认为如果人人总是坚持旧的方式，就不会有变化，自然也就不会有进步。比较起来，持第二种观点的人认为不应该不加辨别地赶时髦，应该有自己的判断和特点。
就我看采，我同意后者的意见。诚然，人应该灵活以适应形势，但是这并不是说应该不加辨别地赶时髦，因为它也许没有益处，我们应该考虑它是有利还是不利，而且，应该有自己的特点。如果人人都赶同样妁时髦，就不会有变化，整个社会就单调如二。
作文一：
时尚是对美的追求，更是一种态度，或许每个人都有自己的模仿对象，但却不应该盲目的模仿，真正时尚的人一定有自我的风格，模仿的真正目的不是要成为别人的影子，而是能从时尚潮流中抽丝剥茧，提炼出它的本质，从而丰富自己的审美价值。它是一个具象的概念，没有定论，或许运用一个当下的时尚元素，通过自己的审美价值取向进行搭配，它会传递出一种全新的感觉，创造出一种全新的时尚。
时尚不属于某一个人，它是大家的，它让人们重新审视“美”这一概念，然后各自去研究，去琢磨，从而形成自己的风格。时尚是人的精神食粮，追求时尚是一个轻松、愉悦的过程，因为时尚，它能真正让你做时间的主人。

Fashion
It's not that easy to answer the question, "what is fashion?" because it means different things to different people. Fashion is an art. It's a religion. It's a job. It's a peek into a personality. It's playfulness. It's an escape or a disguise. It is a feast for the eyes. But ultimately, fashion is an individual statement of expression for each of us.
French fashion designer Coco Chanel once said, "Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
It's true. Fashion isn't defined solely by our clothing choices, but is also conveyed through the way we carry ourselves, our personalities and our views of the world.
At its most fundamental (and straight from the dictionary), fashion is simply the prevailing style or custom, as in dress or behavior.
So, who exactly answers the question "what is fashion"? Who decides what's fashionable and what isn't? What's in or what's out?
