品牌之戰(zhàn)
在新學(xué)年開(kāi)始的一星期前，梅根和母親一起去買(mǎi)衣服。有一件衣服梅根很喜歡，這是一件杰克喬伊設(shè)計(jì)的連帽運(yùn)動(dòng)衫，這是今年最流行的品牌。
這件連帽運(yùn)動(dòng)衫看上去非常棒，背后寫(xiě)著巨大的“Joy”的字母。梅根想象著她穿著這件衣服出現(xiàn)在學(xué)校大廳時(shí)，她一轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)頭去，其他所有的女孩都會(huì)嫉妒。此外，價(jià)格標(biāo)簽上寫(xiě)著這件衣服本來(lái)要買(mǎi)兩百美元，現(xiàn)在降價(jià)到一百五十美元。實(shí)在是便宜貨?。?
然而梅根的媽媽卻覺(jué)得，對(duì)一件運(yùn)動(dòng)衫來(lái)說(shuō)一百五十實(shí)在是個(gè)荒謬的價(jià)格，而且梅根已經(jīng)有一件差不多的衣服了。那件衣服沒(méi)有Joy的標(biāo)志，但是一樣的顏色，一樣的質(zhì)量，而且和牛仔褲或裙子配起來(lái)很好看。
連帽運(yùn)動(dòng)衫的爭(zhēng)論轉(zhuǎn)變成了一場(chǎng)爭(zhēng)吵。梅根的母親感到非常生氣，她丟給梅根兩百美元讓她自己去買(mǎi)想買(mǎi)的東西。梅根很快地買(mǎi)了杰克喬伊的連帽運(yùn)動(dòng)衫，然后用剩下的五十美元買(mǎi)了一條牛仔褲。
開(kāi)學(xué)第一天，梅根的粉紅色杰克連帽運(yùn)動(dòng)衫得到了一些好評(píng)，但是并沒(méi)有引起她所期望的反響。然后她看到其他兩個(gè)女孩也穿著同樣的衣服，她感到自己穿這件衣服是個(gè)跟屁蟲(chóng)而不是引領(lǐng)者。從那以后，她再也不愿意穿那件衣服了。
Lesson64 The Brand Name Battle
A week before the start of the new school year， Megan went clothes shopping with her mom． There was one item that Megan really wanted： a hooded sweatshirt from designer Jack Joy， who's the hottest brand name of the year．The hoodie looked awesome， with the name “Joy” written in huge letters on the back． Megan could picture herself wearing it in the school halls， turning heads and making all the other girls jealous． Plus， the price tag said the hoodie used to be $200．00， and then it was marked down to $150．00． What a bargain!Megan's mom， on the other hand， thought that $150．00 was a ridiculous price for one sweatshirt， especially since Megan already owned a similar one． It didn't have the Joy logo， but it was the same colour and quality， and looked great with jeans or even a skirt．
The hoodie debate turned into a big argument． Megan's mom got so frustrated that she handed Megan the $200．00 to buy what she wanted． Megan quickly bought the Jack Joy hoodie， and with the remaining $50．00， got one pair of jeans．
On the first day of school， Megan got some positive comments on her pink Joy hoodie， but nothing like the reaction she had expected． Then she saw that two other girls were also wearing it， and she felt like a trend follower instead of a trendsetter． From then on， she was embarrassed to have it on．
