In 入時
Yang Li: 大家好我是 Yang Li 您現在收聽的是 Authentic Real... Phew!
Diarmuid: Authentic Real… English? Li you sound out of breath.
Yang Li: Yes Diarmuid, I’ve just run all the way to the studio from a fashion show. It’s London Fashion Week.
Diarmuid: Oh yes, so it is. Here you go, have a glass of water and catch your breath!
Yang Li: Thank you.
Diarmuid: Now Li.
Yang Li: Yes?
Diarmuid: Are you wearing a jacket with shoulder pads?
Yang Li: Yes. 我穿的外套裏有墊肩。
Diarmuid: But, didn’t they go out of fashion ages ago? I didn’t know they were back in.
Yang Li: In what?
Diarmuid: In fashion.
Yang Li: I see. Well yes, they are. Diarmuid 用了 in 這個詞來表示 in fashion. 在英語裏我們也經常會用 in 這個詞來說什麼東西或事情現在非常流行，入時。
Diarmuid: Yes, we can use it about things like clothes, hairstyles and music.
Examples
A: I like her shoes, but those jeans are awful.
B: What? High-waist jeans are so in right now.
A: Brian’s new haircut is great, isn’t it?
B: Yes, pink hair is really in at the moment.
Diarmuid: So what do you think about my flares?
Yang Li: Hmmm, Diarmuid 的喇叭褲 – 喇叭牛仔褲? Sorry, they’re out of fashion now.
Diarmuid: Really, they’re not in any more?
Yang Li: Sorry, they went out in the 70s.
