Unit 625. Do we learn from fashion mistakes?

Do we learn from fashion mistakes?

< 본문 >

We often learn from our mistakes, but I'm not quite sure that we do in fashion.

English On The Go

People always say that we learn from our mistakes.

And sure, sometimes we do. For example, a math problem.

If we make a mistake, the teacher tells us what we did wrong. Then we fix it.

In relationships, when we make a mistake, we apologize, learn from it, and hope that fixes it.

But I was thinking about fashion lately.

Do we actually learn from our fashion mistakes?

For example, there's a lot of things I'm embarrassed about that I wore 20 years ago.

My haircut was pretty awkward, too.

But I didn't “learn” from that mistake until 15 years later when I looked at pictures and said,

“Oh my ... What is that? What are those cargo pants? What is that haircut?”

So, in fashion, do you learn from your mistakes or is it just something you see in the past and realize that was just a mistake?

English On The Go

People always say that we learn from our mistakes.

사람들은 항상 우리가 실수를 통해서 배운다고 말하죠.

 

And sure, sometimes we do. For example, a math problem.

그리고 물론, 그럴 때도 있어요. 예를 들어 수학 문제를 보세요.

 

If we make a mistake, the teacher tells us what we did wrong. Then we fix it.

실수를 하면 선생님이 우리가 뭘 잘못 했는지를 말해 주시고, 우리는 그걸 고쳐요.

----------------

In relationships, when we make a mistake, we apologize, learn from it, and hope that fixes it.

관계에 있어서는 실수를 하면 사과를 하고, 그로부터 배우고, 그렇게 해서 고쳐지기를 바라죠.

 

apologize 사과하다

- apology 사과, 사과하는 말

- apologetic 미안해하는, 사과하는

ex)

He never apologized about that night.

그날 밤 있었던 일에 대해서 그는 사과한 적이 없어요.

 

But I was thinking about fashion lately.

그런데 저는 최근에 패션에 대해서 생각을 했어요.

 

Do we actually learn from our fashion mistakes?

우리는 실제로 패션 실수를 통해서 배우는 게 있는 걸까요?

----------------

For example, there's a lot of things I'm embarrassed about that I wore 20 years ago.

예를 들어, 저는 20년 전에 제가 입었던 것들 중에 창피한 게 많이 있어요.

 

My haircut was pretty awkward, too.

제 머리스타일도 정말 우스웠어요.

 

But I didn't “learn” from that mistake until 15 years later when I looked at pictures and said,

그런데 그런 실수를 통해서 배우지 않았고, 15년이 지나서야 사진을 보고 이렇게 말했어요.

----------------

“Oh my ... What is that? What are those cargo pants? What is that haircut?”

“아이고, 저게 뭐지? 저 카고 팬츠는 뭐지? 저 머리스타일은 어떻게 된 거야?”

 

cargo 화물

 

So, in fashion, do you learn from your mistakes or is it just something you see in the past and realize that was just a mistake?

그래서 패션에 있어서는, 실수를 통해 배우는 걸까요, 아니면 예전 것을 보고 나서 그게 실수였다고 깨닫는 걸까요?
