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 judgement.
Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progressing and one should adapt oneself to the constant change.In their opin-ion,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 judgement and characteristics.
As for me,I agree with the latter's 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.
参考译文：
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不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。相反,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。
就我看来,我同意后者的意见。 诚然,人应该灵活,以适应形势,但这并不是说应该不加辨别地赶时髦;因为有些时髦也许并没有益处。我们应该考虑它是有利还是不利,而且,一个人应该有目己的特点。如果人人都追求同样的时髦,就不会有变化,整个社会就单调如一。
