University Students' Pursuit of Famous Brands
大学生追求名牌
Now discussions about brand names have become one of the college students' favourite pastimes.
现在讨论名牌已经成为大学生最喜爱的娱乐消遣之一。
About this current mindset of the college students, many people may hasten to show their disapproval. They'll probably take it to be a reflection of the students' vanity and superficiality. And they may lecture them on the virtue of being thrifty.
有关大学生目前的心态,很多人可能急于表达他们的不满。他们可能会认为这是大学生们虚荣和肤浅的反映。他们可能会教育大学生们要拥有节俭的美德。
However, I beg on differ. For ooe thing, name-brand products are usually quality products. "The love of beauty is common to all," goes the proverb; therefore, there's nothing to blame about the pursuit of famous brands. For another, college students are old enough to make their own decisions. If they let their pursuit of brands eat into their budget for other more important issues, they should be able to correct their mistakes and keep everything in moderation. So this becomes no other than a good chance to learn management, isn't it? (146 words)
不过,我不敢苟同。首先,名牌产品通常质量好。俗话说"爱美之心人皆有之。"因此,对名牌的追求没有什么可指责的。其次,大学生的年龄已足够大,他们可以做出自己的决定。如果他们追求品牌使自己超出了购买其他更重要物品的预算,他们应该能够改正自己的错误,并使一切保持适度。因此,这岂不成了一个很好的学习管理的机会吗?
