Everyone was impressed with the scene in The Princess Diaries where the queen of Genovia tries to turn her granddaughter into a "lady". Taking a leaf out of her book, a Wenzhou based company has opened a girls' summer school, which aims to provide education in etiquette for young women. The company says that it can turn out "ladies" in about a week.
相信大家都對電影《公主日記》中Genovia國的女王努力培養小孫女的公主氣質的場景記憶猶新吧。如今照貓畫虎,溫州一家公司開設了“暑期女孩研修班”,表示通過一周的禮節教育,就可以將女孩打造成淑女。
The company claims to have schools in Nanjing, Shanghai and other cities. Mr. Xu, the project head, said his team is targeting college and senior high school students. Those who enroll will be taught various classes, including how to match clothes, tea art and movies. A fee of 980RMB is charged to each student.
這家公司宣稱其學點遍布南京、上海和其他城市。據該課程負責人許先生介紹,培訓班招收對象為大學生和高中生。參加培訓的學員將參加各種課程,其中包括服裝搭配、茶藝和電影欣賞等。每個學員需要繳納980元的費用。
In order to ensure a quality teaching experience, class sizes will be kept small. "10 people have already applied for the class," said Mr Xu. He added that, "teaching will begin when enrollment reaches 20."
為了確保授課質量,此次培訓將采取小班授課。許先生補充道:“目前已有10人報名,待滿20人就將開課。”
With today' employment pressures there is clearly an increasing demand for these "lady" courses. In the past, schools like Zhejiang University City College, Tsinghua University and a Wuhan based vocational college ran comparable courses, for example, for white-collar workers.
當今龐大的就業壓力激增了“淑女”訓練課程的需求市場。此前,浙江大學城市學院、清華大學和武漢的一所職業學校都曾開過類似的針對白領的培訓課程。
