原文

2020.12 六級第一套 Passage Two

I work in advertising and I like to keep up with current trends.

我在廣告行業(yè)工作，喜歡緊跟當(dāng)前時(shí)尚。

Mainly because l'm aware that we live in an image obsessed world.

主要是因?yàn)槲颐靼孜覀兩钤谝粋€(gè)注重形象的世界。

However, when I first started my job, occasionally l'd catch a glimpse of myself in the lifts and find myself thinking that I looked a total mess.

不過，剛開始工作時(shí)，我偶爾會在電梯里看到自己一眼，結(jié)果發(fā)現(xiàn)自己穿的一團(tuán)糟。

Was I being held back by my choice of clothing? The short answer is yes, especially when clients are quick to judge you on your style rather than your work.

我有沒有被自己的穿衣打扮拖后腿呢？簡而言之，答案是肯定的，尤其是有些客戶會根據(jù)你的穿搭而非工作來對你做出評價(jià)。

But no one can be unique with their outfit every day. I mean that's why uniforms were invented. So here's what I did, created my own uniform.

但是誰也不能每天都穿的與眾不同，所以當(dāng)初才有人發(fā)明了制服。于是我就設(shè)計(jì)了自己的制服。

To do this, I chose an appropriate outfit. Then I bought multiple items of the same style in different shades.

為此，我先挑選了一身合適的套裝，然后買來許多統(tǒng)一風(fēng)格但顏色深淺不同的單品。

Now, I never worry about what l'm wearing in the morning, even if I do get a bit tired of just wearing the same classic pieces.

現(xiàn)在我早上再也不用為穿什么而發(fā)愁了，雖然確實(shí)有點(diǎn)厭煩一直穿同樣的經(jīng)典款式。

Overall, when it comes to work, you have to ask yourself, “Will looking smarter enhance my ability to do my job?" For some, this question may not be an issue at all.

總的來說，談到工作中的穿搭，你需要問問自己，穿得漂亮?xí)岣呶业墓ぷ髂芰?？對有些人來說，這可能根本就不是問題。

Especially if you work remotely and rarely see your colleagues or clients face to face. But if your job involves interacting with other people, the answer to this is often yes.

尤其如果你是遠(yuǎn)程辦公，很少和同事或客戶見面。但是如果你的工作需要經(jīng)常和其他人打交道，那這個(gè)問題的答案通常是肯定的。

So rather than fighting the system, I think we should just do whatever helps us to achieve our goals at work. If that means playing it safe with your image, then let's face it. It's probably worth it.

所以我認(rèn)為，不要與這種體制對抗，我們只需要做好一切能幫助我們達(dá)成工作目標(biāo)的事情。如果這意味著要審慎對待自己的形象，那么就直面它吧。這很可能是值得的。
