From its humble (1) beginning as workmen’s pants, this item of clothing has found its way onto the catwalks of many top designers, and to the legs of the most glamorous models and celebrities. Although traditionally made of blue denim, jeans today come in different colors and fabrics. 从作为工人长裤的寒微出身开始，这种布料已经被许多一流服装设计师不断推出展现在时装舞台上。它们出现在最迷人的模特儿和名人的腿上。尽管传统上是由蓝色粗斜纹棉布做成的，但是今天的牛仔裤有着不同的颜色和料子。 The first jeans were made around mid 1800, in California. The combined effort of clothes supplier, Levi Strauss, and tailor, Jacob Davis, the blue denim jeans became an instant hit with miners looking for durable pants. The feature that had set the jeans apart (2) from other trousers was the metal rivets (3) invented by Davis. These were used to fasten pockets at the corners so that they wouldn’t tear easily. 第一条牛仔裤出现在1800年左右的加州。在布料商列文·斯特拉斯和裁缝雅格布·戴维斯的共同努力下，蓝色粗斜纹棉布立即在一直寻找耐穿的长裤的矿工们中间流行起来。牛仔裤与其他裤子不一样的特别的地方就是戴维斯发明的金属铆钉。这些铆钉是用来固定边角的口袋，这样裤子就不会那么容易被撕破了。 The rugged, hard-wearing look of denim jeans gained greater appeal among the general population after actors were seen wearing them on screen—cowboys in 1930 westerns and rebellious teenagers in 1950 dramas (leading to American schools banning them). The bell-bottom became popular during the carefree hippie era of the 1960s and 70s, and jeans’ legs adapted the flare (4) design; this psychedelic age also ushered in (5) decorations with beads, embroidery, and paint on previously plain denim. 当演员开始穿着牛仔裤出现在屏幕上——1930年的西部牛仔和1950年戏剧中反叛的年轻人（导致美国学校禁止学生穿牛仔裤）——以后，这种粗糙耐穿的粗斜纹棉布牛仔裤越来越受到普通民众的欢迎。20世纪60年代和70年代，喇叭裤在无拘无束的嬉皮士中流行起来，牛仔裤的裤管采纳了这种张开的设计；这个迷幻的时代还带来了在以前简单的粗斜纹棉布上用珠子、刺绣和绘画装饰。 WORD KEY 1 humble adjective not grand, lowly and without pretensions 2 catwalk noun a long walkway which the models walk on during a fashion show 3 durable adjective able to last for a long time without damage or wear 4 set the jeans apart (set something apart) informal phrase made it different from the rest 5 rebellious adjective resisting or opposing control or authority实践证明经常访问无忧英语教育网 www.51education.net ,能迅速提高你的英语学习能力!积沙成塔,不断提高! 本站所提供的所有信息仅供学校课堂教学及英语学习者学习研究之用，其著作权归原作者及媒体所有。 |
