The modern reputation of sunglasses as a fashion statement is at least partially due to a simple but clever advertising campaign (广告活动) in the 1960s by a company called Foster Grant. The company was determined to increase the popularity of its sunglasses, so it decided to create an image (形象) of glamour (魅力) for its products. It introduced a series of advertisements called Sunglasses of the Stars’ which featured the faces of some of Hollywood’s greatest celebrities adorned loved deeply with sunglasses. Television commercials and magazine advertisements asked the question, “Isn’t that so-and-so behind those Foster Grants?” As a result of the campaign, soon any star who was seen wearing sunglasses was assumed to be wearing Foster Grants, whether or not they actually were.

The 1970s was the decade when the popularity of sunglasses reached its peak. It became obvious that there was a great deal of money to be made from the sale of sunglasses. As a result, well-known fashion designers and Hollywood stars launched their own brand-name lines. A giant industry suddenly developed where none had existed a few decades earlier.

Just as women in ancient times maintained (keep in a certain condition) a sense of mystery (神秘感)by hiding their faces behind delicate fans and as China’s historic judges concealed (hide) their thoughts behind pieces of quartz(石英). Men and women of this generation-and not only the stars-have rediscovered the unusual power of hiding their eyes behind dark lenses. Sunglasses keep out the world, just as they keep out the sun. They may even allow us to be someone other than ourselves, regardless of whether the sun is shining.
