品牌之戰(zhàn)
在新學(xué)年開始的一星期前，梅根和母親一起去買衣服。有一件衣服梅根很喜歡，這是一件杰克喬伊設(shè)計的連帽運動衫，這是今年最流行的品牌。
這件連帽運動衫看上去非常棒，背后寫著巨大的“Joy”的字母。梅根想象著她穿著這件衣服出現(xiàn)在學(xué)校大廳時，她一轉(zhuǎn)過頭去，其他所有的女孩都會嫉妒。此外，價格標(biāo)簽上寫著這件衣服本來要買兩百美元，現(xiàn)在降價到一百五十美元。實在是便宜貨啊！
然而梅根的媽媽卻覺得，對一件運動衫來說一百五十實在是個荒謬的價格，而且梅根已經(jīng)有一件差不多的衣服了。那件衣服沒有Joy的標(biāo)志，但是一樣的顏色，一樣的質(zhì)量，而且和牛仔褲或裙子配起來很好看。
連帽運動衫的爭論轉(zhuǎn)變成了一場爭吵。梅根的母親感到非常生氣，她丟給梅根兩百美元讓她自己去買想買的東西。梅根很快地買了杰克喬伊的連帽運動衫，然后用剩下的五十美元買了一條牛仔褲。
開學(xué)第一天，梅根的粉紅色杰克連帽運動衫得到了一些好評，但是并沒有引起她所期望的反響。然后她看到其他兩個女孩也穿著同樣的衣服，她感到自己穿這件衣服是個跟屁蟲而不是引領(lǐng)者。從那以后，她再也不愿意穿那件衣服了。
Lesson64 The Brand Name Battle
A week before the start of the new school year， Megan went clothes shopping with her mom． There was one item that Megan really wanted： a hooded sweatshirt from designer Jack Joy， who's the hottest brand name of the year．The hoodie looked awesome， with the name “Joy” written in huge letters on the back． Megan could picture herself wearing it in the school halls， turning heads and making all the other girls jealous． Plus， the price tag said the hoodie used to be $200．00， and then it was marked down to $150．00． What a bargain!Megan's mom， on the other hand， thought that $150．00 was a ridiculous price for one sweatshirt， especially since Megan already owned a similar one． It didn't have the Joy logo， but it was the same colour and quality， and looked great with jeans or even a skirt．
The hoodie debate turned into a big argument． Megan's mom got so frustrated that she handed Megan the $200．00 to buy what she wanted． Megan quickly bought the Jack Joy hoodie， and with the remaining $50．00， got one pair of jeans．
On the first day of school， Megan got some positive comments on her pink Joy hoodie， but nothing like the reaction she had expected． Then she saw that two other girls were also wearing it， and she felt like a trend follower instead of a trendsetter． From then on， she was embarrassed to have it on．
