Now listen to part of a lecture in a sociology class on this topic.
請聽社會學課上關于這個話題的部分內容。
I have an example from my own life that illustrates this.
我有一個自己生活中的例子可以說明這個話題。
When I first began my university studies, I became friends with a bunch of art students.
我剛進入大學學習的時候，跟一群藝術系的學生成了朋友。
They were older and fun and very creative and I thought they were really cool.
他們比我大，很風趣也很有創意，我那時候覺得他們非常酷。
And they all liked to dress really casually, in T-shirts and jeans and sneakers.
而且他們都喜歡穿得很隨意，都只穿些T恤、牛仔褲和運動鞋。
That's what they wore all the time, to class, to the library, to dinner, everywhere, T-shirts and jeans and sneakers.
他們一直都這么穿，無論是去上課，去圖書館，去吃飯還是去哪里，他們都穿著T恤、牛仔褲和運動鞋。
So that's what I started wearing, too. And I fit right in, and I felt really cool.
于是我也開始這么穿，而且發現這個風格跟我正合適，我覺得自己非常酷。
But then I graduated, moved to Chicago, and got a job.
但是后來我畢業了，搬到了芝加哥并在那兒找了一份工作。
And I started working with some really bright,
我開始和一些很聰明的年輕人一起工作，
young people who'd already been working in the company for a few years,
他們已經在公司工作了好幾年了，
who were already handling major responsibilities for the company, really impressive.
也擔任著一些重要的職位，非常令人欽佩。
And sometimes some of us would get together on the weekend, maybe for a concert or a baseball game or something.
有時候我們中一些人周末會聚在一起，可能看個演唱會或者棒球比賽什么的。
And at first, I just wear a T-shirt and jeans and sneakers. That was, you know, how I was used to dressing.
最開始的時候，我還是穿著T恤、牛仔褲和運動鞋。你知道的，就是我一貫的打扮。
But I soon noticed that my co-workers preferred to dress up a little bit.
但是我很快發現我的同事們更喜歡穿得正式一點。
The men would wear a nice pair of pants, uh, button-up shirt.
男士們會穿很不錯的長褲，和帶扣子的襯衫。
The women might wear a fashionable dress and some nice shoes.
女士們會穿時尚的連衣裙和一些很棒的鞋子。
They dressed in clothes a lot nicer than what I was used to wearing.
他們穿的衣服比我一貫穿的要好得多。
And I started thinking, you know, that looks really classy, really sharp.
然后我開始覺得，那樣打扮看起來很有品位，非常精明。
And so I started to dress the same way they did, you know, nicer, a little more formal.
所以我就開始跟他們打扮得一樣，穿的好一點，正式一些。
And, I don't know, somehow my T-shirts and jeans and sneakers didn't seem as cool anymore.
不知道怎么的，我的T恤、牛仔褲和運動鞋看起來再也沒有那么酷了。
