Their main problem is that they have a desperate need for rules, and are unable to get along without them. This helps to explain

38、 why they have an international reputation for dressing in general very badly, but with specific areas of excellence, such as high-class mens suits, ceremonial costumes, and innovative (革新的) street fashion. In other words, we English dress best when we are “in uniform”.You may be surprised that I am

39、 including “innovative street fashion” in the category of the uniform. Surely the parrot-haired punks (朋克摇滚乐迷) or the Victorian vampire goths are being original, not following rules? Its true that they all look different and eccentric (古怪的) but in fact they all look eccentric exactly in the same way

However, it is true that the styles invented by young English people a

41、re much more eccentric than any other nations street fashion. We may not be individually eccentric, apart from the Queen, but we have a sort of collective eccentricity, and ye appreciate originality in dress even if we do not individually have it.Another “rule” of behavior I had discovered was that

42、it is very important for the English not to take themselves too seriously, to be able to laugh at themselves. However, it is well known that most teenagers tend to take themselves a bit too seriously.The goths, in their scary black costumes, certainly look as if they are taking themselves seriously.

43、 But when I got into conversation with them, I discovered that they too had a sense of humor. I was once chatting to a goth in the full vampire costumewith a white face, deep purple lipstick, and black parrot-hair. I saw he was also wearing a T-shirt with “Goth”. “Why are you wearing that?” I asked.

44、 “In case you dont realize Im a goth.” he answered, pretending to be serious. We both burst out laughing.1、What can we know about the English people?AThey need rules to dress well.
