(nǐzuò shíshànɡ biānjí sānniánle, zhèxiē niánde cháoliú qūshì yǒu shenme biànhuà ma?)

我观察到现在的年轻人越来越喜欢复古潮流了。

A: It makes me recall that recently a lot of young netizens have started a challenge in which they try wearing the clothes from their fathers' generation.

这让我想起最近有很多年轻网友开始挑战穿他们父辈的衣服。

(zhè rànɡwǒ xiǎnɡqǐ zuìjìn yǒu hěnduō niánqīnɡ wǎnɡyǒu kāishǐ tiāozhàn chuān tāmén fùbèi de yīfú.)

B: I've seen that too. They have been matching the clothing of their fathers' generation and even their grandparents' generation with today's fashionable clothing, creating a really fashionable and unique mix.  

我也看到了。他们把父辈,甚至是祖辈的衣物用来搭配当下的时尚单品去呈现一种时髦而独特的穿搭风格。

A: Why do you think the vintage clothing has become a trend? 

为何复古衣物会成为潮流呢？

(wéihé fùɡǔ yīwù huì chénɡwéi cháoliú ne?) 

B: I think vintage clothing doesn't look like they belong to this time period and that characteristic looks very special to a lot of people. 

我认为复古衣物有着不属于这个年代的审美特点。这些特点在很多人看来就十分独特。
