پوشیدن لباس در دنیای امروز اهمیت زیادی دارد. پوشیدن لباس مانند زمانهای باستانی فقط برای پوشاندن خود نیست، بلکه نشانه ای از شخصیت هر فرد است. هر جا و مکانی نیز لباس مورد نظر خود را می طلبد. موضوع این بحث مکالمه انگلیسی درباره لباس پوشیدن است. سوال اصلی که همیشه قبل از مهمونی ها داریم این است که چی بپوشم؟! (چی بپوشم به انگلیسی What Do I Wear می شود.) در این مکالمه هم دو نفر در حال آماده شدن برای رفتن به مهمانی هستند. برخلاف همیشه که گفته میشه خانمها دیرتر حاضر می شوند، در این مکالمه آقا دیرتر حاضر شده است و هنوز نتوانسته لباس مناسبی پیدا کند. برای همین از همسرش که خوش سلیقه هم هست نظر می خواهد.

از استایل (برش)و بلندی و دوخت پایین این شلوارک ها خوشم میاد پس فکر کنم اینها رو هم بپوشم.

متن پادکست
Hello everyone, welcome back to another lesson with us. My name is Marco. My name is Katherine and that’s us. And that’s us. And today we’re going to talk about a very common situation
when you’re a couple, when you have a girlfriend. Honey, come on. I want to go. Are you? You are taking forever. All right. Who takes long? Like, do you take a long time to get ready
to get dressed? Okay. I take longer to get ready, but my boyfriend takes longer in general because he’s like checking his email, playing video games, like just, you know, we call
it lolly gagging. He’s just like being kind of slow. I’m the opposite. I usually, I usually start getting ready later. Like if we have to leave at nine, I’ll start getting ready
at eight 30, but I’ll be ready by nine because I take a shower real fast, get dressed and I know what I’m going to wear and all my clothes are ready. But on the other hand, my girlfriend
takes forever to get ready. And she’s like, Oh, and then, you know, the hair. Girls have makeup and tights and shoes. But this is what I understand. If we’re supposed to leave at
nine, why don’t you start getting ready before? Never underestimate women. I don’t know. Procrastination.
Hey, it’s not even about procrastination. Sometimes it just takes longer to look good than other times. Right. Well, in this case, we’re going to be looking at a lesson where
it’s the opposite. The husband is taking a long time to get ready. And well, I don’t think he has a very good fashion sense, right? He does not. And we’re going to learn what
that phrase means in a minute here. But before we get going, we’ve got a couple of words to preview to help you understand what’s going on in today’s dialogue. Vocabulary preview.
All right. So vocabulary preview. Today we have two words. The first one can be a noun or a verb to iron or iron. So to iron basically means to to get the wrinkles out of clothes.
And so we use this iron is actually a metal. It’s a very important metal. And an iron is a machine that we plug in. We use it to get the wrinkles, the lines out of our shirts
and our skirts and everything. And so it’s actually a very important thing to make sure that you look nice and put together. Right. So you use an iron to iron your shirt or to
you iron your skirt. And then we have sandals. My favorite type of shoe. Mine too. Sandals.
I have a friend who used to say she had claustrophobic feet. Her feet didn’t like to be enclosed spaces.
So she only wore sandals. So these are open shoes, open toe shoes, basically. You wear them at the beach. Or you wear them in the summer in general. I’m wearing sandals right
now. And you have different types of sandals like sandals and flip flops, right? Flip flops.
I think they’re called that because they sound like flip flop. When you walk. All right. So those are two words today. Let’s listen to the dialogue for the first time. And then
we’ll be back honey. Come on. We’re going to be late. Honestly, you take longer getting ready than I do. I was drying my hair and ironing my shirt. Can you come here for a
sec? I need your help. What is it? Why all these clothes on the bed? I don’t know what to wear. Okay. Give me your opinion. Do you like the way this looks? The strap short sleeve
shirt with this checkered sweater. My lucky sandals. I like the cut and hemline of these shorts. So I think I’ll wear these as well. Are you joking? What am I going to do with
you? You’re going to a dinner party, not to the beach. Wear this shirt with the silk tie I bought you and those corduroy pants. It’s chilly outside so you can wear this
coat. Thanks honey. You have such a great fashion sense. Now what am I going to do with my hair? All right. We’re back. So interesting. This husband sounded a lot like a famous
president I think. He did but we’ll get to that in a minute. Before we do talk about who this guy is, I think it’d be a great idea to talk about some of these clothing terms
because they’re very useful for when you want to go shopping and for when you’re getting dressed. Language takeaway. Okay. So the first word that we have on language takeaway is
striped. All right. You might have heard the American flag called stars and stripes. Stripes are those lines on clothing or on flags that go up or down or left and right. Exactly.
So if you have a striped shirt you have many lines on your shirt that are going up and down or left and right. Right. And they say with fashion lines that go left to right make
you look fatter and lines that go up and down make you look thinner. And taller. And taller.
Very good. And now moving on, if it’s summer and you want to wear a shirt, you can wear a short sleeved shirt. All right. This is important. So most people like to wear short
sleeve shirts in the summertime because they’re cooler. And in the wintertime that means we like to wear long sleeved shirts. Okay. So the sleeves are basically the arms of the
shirt. Exactly. You say short sleeved. Very good. And then we have a checkered shirt or a checkered sweater in this case. Okay. So checkered means there are little squares on
the shirt and usually one square is one color and the next square is another color. So it looks like a checkerboard. Very good. That game, you know, checkers? Or like a chess
board. Exactly. And so in this case we’ve got a guy who’s trying to wear a striped shirt and a checkered sweater. That does not go well to us. No. Too much stuff happening.
It’s too busy. Too busy. All right. And not only that, but he wanted to wear shorts because he liked the cut and the hemline. Okay. These are actually terms that we normally use with
women’s clothing because you could say I like the cut of this dress. I like the shape that it has. Very good. And hemline is the bottom of your skirt or your trousers or your shorts.
And hemline, we could say, my mother used to say this to me, the hemline is much too high. Much too short. That skirt is not appropriate. Yeah. So it’s nice to have a hemline at the
knee. All right. So the cut is the shape that the piece of clothing has like pants or skirts.
And the hemline would be the place where it ends, right? The skirt, for example. Like it pretty much tells you the length of something. Very good. And now, well, and now the wife
steps in, she’s like, no, no, you’re not wearing this. She’s telling him that she has to wear nice clothes. And among those items is a silk tie. Okay. So classic Father’s Day gift.
Silk tie. I’ve given this one a couple of times. A silk tie is a, you know, a neck tie, a long neck tie that’s made of silk. Silk is a very soft material, right? Very expensive
as well. It can be, especially Italian silk. And I’ve always actually wanted to have silk sheets. Oh, see, I don’t know. I feel like they would get very warm in the summer. Well,
in the winter, it would be awesome, but probably very cold in the winter as well. Yeah, I don’t know. Well, it’s one of those things. And then she’s also telling him to wear some
corduroy pants. Okay. So it sounds like this might be a winter dialogue because corduroy is not something you wear in the summer because it’s very heavy and thick. Corduroy actually
is a fabric that usually has these kind of ribs or ridges. And so there’s like little lines in the fabric that make it quite thick and rough when you, almost not rough, but
they make it feel very unique when you touch it. Yeah, it’s not smooth. It’s a little bit rough, the fabric. Very good. So those are all the, the clothing items that we’ve looked
at today. There’s a lot of them and obviously we’ll post a couple of pictures on the site so you can see, so you can see better what a silk tie looks like or especially corduroy
pants. Corduroy, yeah. All right. So let’s listen to this dialogue again. We’re going to slow it down a little bit and then we’ll come back and look at some of the phrases.
Honey, come on. We’re going to be late. Honestly, you take longer getting ready than I do.
I was drying my hair and ironing my shirt. Can you come here for a sec? I need your help.
What is it? Why are all these clothes on the bed? I don’t know what to wear. Okay. Give me your opinion. Do you like the way this looks? The strapped short sleeve shirt with
this checkered sweater and my lucky sandals. I like the cut and hemline of these shorts so I think I’ll wear these as well. Are you joking? What am I going to do with you? We
are going to a dinner party, not to the beach. Wear this shirt with the silk tie I bought you and those corduroy pants. It’s chilly outside so you can wear this coat. Thanks,
honey. You have such great fashion sense. Now, what am I going to do with my hair?
All right. We’re back. So now let’s start with fluency builder. Fluency builder. Okay.
These are classic couple phrases, right? These are phrases you hear among couples and the first one is maybe more common to hear from the female end, but it’s not unknown on the
male end. So we have this question. Do you like the way this looks? So while the person is saying this, they would maybe be moving to the side a little bit. Modeling it. Do
you like the way this looks? So basically you’re saying, do you like what I’m wearing?
Does it look good on you? Does it look good? Exactly. You could also say, hey, I like the way this looks when you’re trying to buy something at the store. And so do you like the way this
looks is a way for you to ask the other person’s opinion of how you look.
And also another common phrase, especially with men who have no, no fashion sense. The wife says, what am I going to do with you? Okay. This is an interesting phrase and it
needs some explanation, I think, because the meaning is, well, this is very difficult.
Right? So you’re being difficult or, wow, you need some help from me. I’m going to help you. How am I going to help you this much? Or all the time like this? Right. Because
she’s pretty much saying he has no idea about clothing and fashion. So he’s saying to her, what am she saying to him? What am I going to do with you? I mean, you need so much
help.
Seriously. All right. So, and, and the third phrase that we saw and we said at the very beginning is fashion sense.
Okay. So this is actually what the man needs help with fashion. He needs help with his fashion sense because he has zero fashion sense. Right. And this is pretty much a way
to say, um, um, how much someone knows about fashion or appearances. And so I can say, you know, oh, my friend, Kathy, she has amazing fashion sense. So she always looks good.
Right. So combining colors appropriately or wearing the right types of shoes with the right types of clothing, et cetera, fashion or even just being able to wear things that are good on her or telling other people what’s good on them. Um, so fashion sense is the
ability to, uh, to identify fashion and look good and make other people look good. All right. Very good. Let’s listen to this dialogue for the very last time and we’ll come back
and talk a little bit more about fashion because it’s a very interesting topic.
Honey, come on. We’re going to be late. Honestly, you take longer getting ready than I do.
I was drying my hair and ironing my shirt. Can you come here for a sec? I need your help.
What is it? Why are all these clothes on the bed? I don’t know what to wear. Okay. Give me your opinion. Do you like the way this looks? The strap short sleeve shirt with this
checkered sweater, my lucky sandals. I like the cut and hemline of these shorts. And so I think I’ll wear these as well. Are you joking? What am I going to do with you? You’re going
to a dinner party, not to the beach. Wear the shirt with the silk tie I bought you and those corduroy pants. It’s chilly outside so you can wear this coat. Thanks, honey.
You have such great fashion sense. Now, what am I going to do with my hair? All right, we’re back. You lived in Italy for a while. How is the fashion over there? Is it extreme
like we see on the runways because I honestly don’t understand fashion? Well, the thing about runways is that that’s not how normal people dress. Well, yeah, that’s what I understand.
Why do they have these fashion shows if people don’t really buy these types of clothing?
Well, sometimes people like stores, for example, big stores, department stores will buy fashions off of the runway and they’ll kind of change them a little bit so that they’re more appropriate
for normal consumption. That means for normal people who want to wear them. But the runway fashions are actually, they’re kind of like exaggerations of trends that will happen in
the shopping world, right? In the commercial world. So the things that you see are like big blown up exaggerations. And we take bits and pieces of those in our daily lives to
dress up so different colors or fabrics or like oftentimes you see kind of military outfits. And so that will translate into military jackets that are very popular one season.
And so Italy definitely counts as a very fashionable country, but it’s not crazy people. You every once in a while, you see someone with crazy clothes, but I think Japan is much more crazy
for a style. Yeah, Asian countries such as Japan or South Korea, they have very also unique fashion as well. But it’s very extreme to a certain point. And the color combinations
they do is like red sneakers with green pants and like a blue jacket. It’s very crazy, right?
And very bright. And you often see these shoes, you know, we call them platform shoes. They’re it’s kind of like you’re standing on a brick. And they’re, you know, they’re seven inches
tall. And you see these little girls wearing these big shoes. And I just I’m so scared when I see them because I feel like they’re gonna fall over. The other thing is that fashion
is so expensive. If you actually want to buy something that’s in like an authentic, I don’t know, Carolina Herrera or Oscar de la Renta or something like that, it’s so expensive.
It is. But you know, high fashion is expensive. Yeah. Fashion is not doesn’t have to be you can you can be fashionable just looking at different stores and going to secondhand
shops and making your own clothes. I mean, it’s all about a sense of personal style and dressing yourself to be unique. Or you can get at the fake market or you can go to the
fake market. Exactly. All right. That’s all the time we have for today, guys. I hope you enjoyed this lesson. That’s about it for today. So goodbye, everyone. Bye.
