　　课文内容

　　Conversation A

　　Violette stops her younger brother Paul on his way out the door.

　　Violette: Hey, you’re not going out in those jeans, are you?

　　Paul: What do you mean? Of course I am. Why shouldn’t I?

　　Violette: Well, for one thing, I can see your underwear through the holes in the butt.

　　Paul: That’s what makes them cool; they’re different.

　　Violette: Cool? Try trashy! Take those things off and wear something more respectable!

　　Conversation B

　　Paul: Trashy? Look at you! Your belly button is staring out at me!

　　Violette: So what? That’s the fashion. If I want my stomach to show, it’s my choice.

　　Paul: Some fashion! I think you’re showing way too much skin in those hip-huggers.

　　Violette: Well, it’s the weekend after all.4 We can both dress as individuals.

　　Paul: Yeah. We should enjoy it when we can. On Monday, it’s back to uniforms, like everyone else.

　　薇欧莱特：嘿，你不是要穿这条牛仔裤出门吧？

　　保罗：你什么意思？我当然要穿这条牛仔裤出去。我为什么不能穿？

　　薇欧莱特：唔，理由之一是，我可以从你裤子屁股上的洞里看到你的内裤。

　　保罗：就是这样才酷呢，这是与众不同。

　　薇欧莱特：酷？穿得差劲！把那条裤子换掉，穿上正经些的衣服吧！

　　Translation—Conversation B

　　保罗：差劲？看看你自己吧！你的肚脐正盯着我看呢！

　　薇欧莱特：那又怎么样？那是时尚。如果我要把肚子露出来，那是我的自由啊。

　　保罗：还时尚呢！我觉得你穿的那条低腰牛仔裤露得太多了。
