[00:00.10]	Now, the VOA Special English program
[00:14.73]	WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
[00:17.66]	Last week, I explained
[00:20.45]	some English expressions about clothes.
[00:24.40]	Everything I told you was true.
[00:27.49]	I did not talk through my hat
[00:30.17]	or say something
[00:32.02]	without knowing the facts.
[00:34.50]	Everyone knows there are
[00:36.94]	many English expressions
[00:38.98]	about clothes.
[00:40.68]	There is no need to keep it a secret,
[00:43.81]	or keep it under your hat.
[00:46.35]	In fact, if I keep talking,
[00:49.53]	soon enough you will start
[00:52.07]	to think I am an old hat about this
[00:56.05]	-- a real expert.
[00:57.75]	Do not be fooled, though.
[00:59.25]	My friends sometimes call me
[01:03.92]	a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
[01:06.16]	This is someone who acts
[01:08.55]	like a good person,
[01:10.20]	but is really a bad person.
[01:13.23]	I’m not really a bad person.
[01:16.22]	But I do love clothes.
[01:19.10]	It is always fun to get dressed up.
[01:23.08]	I look great in my best clothes.
[01:26.32]	When I put them on,
[01:28.01]	I feel decked out.
[01:30.51]	You might say
[01:31.90]	when I wear my best clothes,
[01:34.54]	I am dressed to the nines
[01:36.93]	or dressed to the teeth.
[01:39.67]	In fact, my husband says
[01:42.35]	I look dressed to kill.
[01:44.89]	Of course, I would never kill anyone.
[01:49.03]	But, there is something special
[01:51.87]	about putting on clothes
[01:53.91]	that are pleasing to the eye.
[01:56.05]	My best clothes are not
[01:59.19]	modern or fashionable.
[02:01.58]	Maybe someday they will
[02:04.46]	come into fashion.
[02:05.80]	But I really do not care.
[02:08.30]	They certainly look better
[02:10.44]	on me than my birthday suit.
[02:12.63]	Did you know that everyone
[02:15.22]	has a birthday suit?
[02:17.11]	You wear it when you are wearing
[02:19.60]	no clothes at all.
[02:21.65]	Babies are born wearing
[02:24.50]	their birthday suits.
[02:26.13]	I am very careful with my clothes.
[02:29.67]	I handle them with kid gloves.
[02:32.70]	I try not to get them dirty or torn.
[02:36.44]	Most of my clothes
[02:38.47]	fit like a glove.
[02:40.22]	They fit perfectly.
[02:42.71]	But when I eat too much,
[02:45.24]	I feel like my clothes might
[02:48.22]	burst at the seams.
[02:49.92]	My clothes feel too restrictive and tight.
[02:53.70]	Some of the clothes I like best
[02:57.30]	are hand-me-downs.
[02:59.49]	My older sister gave them to me
[03:02.38]	when she no longer wanted them.
[03:04.92]	Hand-me-downs are great
[03:07.41]	because clothes often cost too much money.
[03:11.79]	I live on a shoestring.
[03:14.52]	I have a very small budget
[03:17.31]	and little money to spend on clothes.
[03:20.49]	However, my sister has a lot of money
[03:24.43]	to spend on clothes.
[03:26.10]	Maybe someday the shoe
[03:28.83]	will be on the other foot.
[03:31.06]	The opposite will be true.
[03:33.25]	I will have a lot of money
[03:36.00]	to buy clothes and my sister
[03:38.39]	will get hand-me-downs from me.
[03:40.92]	I admit I dream of being rich.
[03:45.65]	I dream that someday I will be able
[03:49.38]	to live like a rich person.
[03:51.62]	I will know what it is like
[03:54.75]	to walk in another person’s shoes.
[03:58.19]	Some of my friends got rich
[04:01.18]	by riding someone else’s coat tails.
[04:04.96]	They are successful today
[04:07.75]	as a result of someone else
[04:10.38]	being successful.
[04:12.07]	But, I believe you should
[04:14.86]	never criticize others
[04:16.95]	for something
[04:17.95]	you would do yourself.
[04:19.59]	What is said about someone
[04:22.23]	else can also be said
[04:24.62]	about you. Remember,
[04:26.63]	if the shoe fits, wear it.

歌词翻译

[00:00.10]	现在,美国之音特别英语节目
[00:14.73]	单词和他们的故事。
[00:17.66]	上周,我解释说
[00:20.45]	一些关于衣服的英语表达方式
[00:24.40]	我告诉你的一切都是真的
[00:27.49]	我没有说假话
[00:30.17]	或说些什么
[00:32.02]	不了解事实的东西
[00:34.50]	每个人都知道有
[00:36.94]	很多英语表达
[00:38.98]	关于衣服。
[00:40.68]	不需要保密
[00:43.81]	或者隐藏什么
[00:46.35]	事实上,如果我一直说话
[00:49.53]	很快你就会开始
[00:52.07]	认为我是对此十分熟悉
[00:56.05]	一个真正的专家
[00:57.75]	不过,不要被愚弄了。
[00:59.25]	我的朋友有时会叫我
[01:03.92]	一个披着羊皮的狼
[01:06.16]	这是一个人的行为
[01:08.55]	像一个很好的人,
[01:10.20]	但是其实是一个坏人。
[01:13.23]	我不是一个坏人
[01:16.22]	但我确实喜欢衣服。
[01:19.10]	装扮总是有趣的
[01:23.08]	我穿着我最好的衣服看起来很好。
[01:26.32]	当我穿上它们,
[01:28.01]	我觉得是盛装打扮
[01:30.51]	你可能会说
[01:31.90]	当我穿着我最好的衣服,
[01:34.54]	我盛装打扮
[01:36.93]	或者打扮到牙齿
[01:39.67]	事实上,我的丈夫说
[01:42.35]	我看起来打扮去杀人
[01:44.89]	当然,我绝对不会杀任何人
[01:49.03]	但是,有一些特别的东西
[01:51.87]	关于穿上的衣服
[01:53.91]	那些悦目的衣服
[01:56.05]	我最好的衣服都不是
[01:59.19]	现代的和时尚的
[02:01.58]	也许有一天他们会
[02:04.46]	流行
[02:05.80]	但我真的不在乎。
[02:08.30]	他们肯定更好看
[02:10.44]	在我身上比那些生日套装
[02:12.63]	你知道吗,每个人
[02:15.22]	都有生日套装
[02:17.11]	你穿它当你
[02:19.60]	没有衣服可穿时
[02:21.65]	孩子们生来
[02:24.50]	就穿着生日套装
[02:26.13]	我很注意我的衣服。
[02:29.67]	我用婴儿手套处理它们
[02:32.70]	我尽量不把它们弄脏或弄破。
[02:36.44]	我的大部分衣服
[02:38.47]	很合身
[02:40.22]	它们很合身
[02:42.71]	但是当我吃得太多
[02:45.24]	我觉得我的衣服
[02:48.22]	被挤满了
[02:49.92]	我的衣服太紧了
[02:53.70]	我最喜欢的一些衣服
[02:57.30]	都是旧衣服。
[02:59.49]	我姐姐把它们送给我
[03:02.38]	当她不再想要他们
[03:04.92]	旧衣服很棒
[03:07.41]	因为衣服常常花费很大
[03:11.79]	我靠一个小本经营过活
[03:14.52]	我的预算很小
[03:17.31]	并且在衣服上花销很小
[03:20.49]	然而,我姐姐有很多钱
[03:24.43]	去买衣服。
[03:26.10]	也许有一天鞋
[03:28.83]	会在另有一只脚上
[03:31.06]	相反的会是正确的
[03:33.25]	我将有很多钱
[03:36.00]	买衣服而我妹妹
[03:38.39]	将得到我用过的。
[03:40.92]	我承认我梦想成为有钱人
[03:45.65]	我梦想有一天我可以
[03:49.38]	生活像一个富人
[03:51.62]	我就知道它是什么样子
[03:54.75]	当穿另一个人的鞋走路
[03:58.19]	我的一些朋友致富
[04:01.18]	通过借助别人的力量
[04:04.96]	今天他们是成功的
[04:07.75]	因为别人
[04:10.38]	是成功的
[04:12.07]	但是,我相信你应该
[04:14.86]	从不批评别人
[04:16.95]	因为一些事
[04:17.95]	你应该自己做的
[04:19.59]	说别人的
[04:22.23]	也可以被用来
[04:24.62]	说你。记住，
[04:26.63]	如果鞋子适合，穿上它
