【观念类】自个衣装是不是可以反映其特性

Do you agree or disagree with the way a person dressed is a good indicationof his/her personality or character? 一自个衣装可以反映其特性，是不是认同?(2013年6月15日)

【脑筋风暴】

杨澜说：“作为女人，你有必要精美。这是女人的庄严。”是的，没有人有责任有必要透过连你自个都毫不介意的龌龊表面去发现你优良的内在，可见服饰对自个的意义。你，可以给别人留下第一形象的机缘只需一次，第一形象永久在那里。可是，成大事落拓不羁。“静水流深”说的是“人不可以以貌相。”一自个的秀丽表面当然重要，但其内在才调、气质和品质不是可以一眼洞悉的，要日久见人心。

【作家情绪】

不能简略认为一自个的服装可以完全反映其特性。第一形象有时是有误导性的, 经过长时刻的调查去判别一自个才是值得举荐的。

【思路拓宽】

① 热情性格的人喜爱穿时髦秀丽的服装，可是，恬静性格的人喜爱穿朴素淡色的服装。我们一般认为衣装规整者是值得尊敬和文质彬彬的。

②人不可以以貌相，许多穿戴作业装的人却有截然不一样的特性。贫穷者可以花费不起高档服饰，可是，这不会影响他是一个仁慈的人。

③大有些的影星在大众眼里可以看起来都是热情四射和热心弥漫的，可是，他们中许多人却是性格内敛，喜爱恬静的日子。

【首段】争议焦点+ 争议焦点 + 作家情绪

Fine feather makes fine birds，which means that a well-dressed people neverfails to leave the fondest impression on people around him or her. Some peopleassert that a person’s personality can be indicated by how he or she dresses.Perhaps no issue has led to such an endless debate as to whether or not aperson’s character could be perfectly reflected by his or her appearance. As Isee it, even though what one wears can convey some information about his or hercharacter, a man must not be judged by his appearance.

【解析】

1. Fine feather makes fine birds. 人靠衣装，美靠靓装。

2. Perhaps no issue has led to such an endless debate as to whether or not…… 或许没有啥像 …… 相同致使我们无休止的争议

3. As I see it, even though what one wears can convey some informationabout his or her character, a man must not be judged by his appearance.我认为，即便人的衣装可以传递一些关于其特性的信息，可是，人不可以以貌相。

【二段】让步段：衣装的确可以在必定程度上反映人的特性

Indeed, I have to concede that a neat appearance is an embodiment of aperson’s qualities and personalities. For example, a passionate person tends towear trendy and bright-colored clothes. Conversely, a quiet person likes to wearsimple and light-colored clothes. Another positive aspect is that a well-dressedperson is, in most cases, a respectable and well-mannered person，then，it willmake people around him feel at ease, therefore， he is，in most people’s eyes，easyto associate and communicate with.

【解析】

1. Indeed, I have to concede that …… 的确，我不能不招认的是……

2. A passionate person tends to wear trendy and bright-colored clothes热情性格的人喜爱穿时髦秀丽的服装。

4. A well-dressed person is, in most cases, a respectable and well-manneredperson 我们一般认为衣装规整者是值得尊敬和文质彬彬的。

5. is easy to associate and communicate with v 很简略和其交流和交游

【三段】争辩反驳段：为何衣装不能反映人的特性

Notwithstanding all that, we have to remember the old saying that we cannever judge a book by its cover, so does the person. Some people have to dressthe uniform when they embark on work, in this case, it seems that they look likeconservative individuals, whereas they have distinct personalities, some areextraverted while others are introverted. Moreover, a person who is impoverishedmay fail to afford up-market clothes with his limited money, but it doesn’t meanthat he is not a benevolent person. More precisely, he may be more humane andtender-hearted than a gentleman who looks graceful.

【解析】

1. We can never judge a book by its cover. 人不可以以貌相

2. Whereas they have distinct personalities. 可是，他们具有截然不一样的特性。

3. up-market clothes n高档的服装

4. A person who is impoverished may fail to afford up-market clothes withhis limited money, but it doesn’t mean that he is not a benevolent person.贫穷者可以花费不起高档服饰，可是，这不会影响他是一个仁慈的人。

5. He may be more humane and

tender-hearted than a gentleman who looksgraceful. 他或许比看起来典雅的绅士愈加仁爱和蔼良。

【四段】争辩反驳段：为何穿戴不能反映人的特性

Another convincing argument could also be easily explored. Most superstarsseem to be very passionate and enthusiastic when they are presenting aperformance in public, virtually, they are not all that kind of people. Some ofthem actually are quiet people who love to be in a silent atmosphere and live asimple life. So, appearance of a person cannot always indicate his or herpersonality.

【解析】

1. Most superstars seem to be very passionate and enthusiastic.大有些的影星看起来都是热情四射和热心弥漫的。

2. The appearance of a person cannot always indicate his or herpersonality. 自个的表面并非总能反映其性格。

【尾段】总结情绪

In the final analysis, my stand is that a person’s personality cannot bemerely judged by his or her outlooks. The initial impression sometimes might bemisleading, it is highly recommended to judge a person after long period ofobservation.

【解析】

1. The initial impression sometimes might be misleading. 第一形象有时分是有误导性的。

2. It is highly recommended to judge a person after long period ofobservation. 经过长时刻的调查去判别一自个才是值得举荐的。
