Clothing sizes 选对尺码玩转穿搭

Hi, there! Do you need help finding a size for that dress?

嗨，你好！需要帮助找那条裙子的尺码吗？

Yes, please. The clothing sizes are so different here, so I'm not sure what size I need. I usually wear a small or extra small.

对，能帮我一下吗。这儿的衣服尺寸很不一样，所以我也搞不清自己该穿多大。我通常穿小号或特小号。

I think your dress size is a 2. But, our sizes run large, so you might even be a 0.

我看你的裙子尺码应该是2号。但是，我们的尺码偏大，所以可能0号就行了。

Ok. What about jean sizes?

好的。那牛仔裤的尺码呢？

Your waist looks like a 25 and your length is probably a 30, but that's hard to come by.

你的腰围看上去也就25，裤长可能得30，但这样的尺寸可能不是很多。

Well, I prefer loose-fitted jeans, so maybe I'll try the 26 and 27 on for size.

嗯，其实我比较喜欢牛仔裤宽松一点，要不我试下26或27的吧。

Sure, but I think the 27 will be too big in the hips. Do you want high-waisted, mid-rise or low-rise jeans?

当然可以。但我觉得27的话臀部可能会太大。你想要高腰、中腰还是低腰的牛仔裤？

High-waisted. This is so confusing! Thanks so much for your help.

高腰的。这真是复杂！谢谢你的帮助！

No problem!

没问题！

Vanity sizing 虚荣尺码

The term vanity sizing refers to the trend of labeling larger sizes as smaller sizes. Vanity refers to a person's excessive pride in their appearance, and vanity sizing is a method that companies use to trick shoppers into feeling better about the clothing that they buy. So, instead of buying a size 4, you may actually be buying a size 6.

"虚荣尺码”一词指的是将较大尺码贴上小尺寸标签的趋势。这里虚荣指的是一个人对自己的外表过于骄傲，而公司就用虚荣尺码来引诱购物者购物，因为这样能让他们对自己购买的东西感觉更好。所以，你买4号尺码的时候，你可能实际上买的是6号。

While some people have argued that vanity sizing has a negative impact on the health awareness of the general public, other people argue that it has a positive effect on people's self-esteem.

虽然有些人认为，虚荣尺码对公众的健康意识有负面影响，但另一些人则认为，这种做法对人们的自尊有积极的影响。
