These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear formal (正式的) clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right thing. Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At theatres (剧院), cinemas and concerts (音乐会) you can put on anything you like: from beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy. But in Britain, as well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties and women wear dresses or skirts (not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses.

In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home, most Americans wear informal (非正式的) or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women have to wear pretty clothes.

It is difficult to say exactly (确切地) what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then do the same. You’ll feel good if you don’t look too different from everyone else.

Years ago a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast. He constantly advertised for hired hands but never made it because most people were afraid of the awful storms.

Finally, a short, thin man, approached(联系) the farmer. “Are you a good farmhand?” the farmer asked him.

“Well, I can sleep when the wind blows,” answered the little man.

Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer still hired(雇佣) him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy all day, and the farmer felt pleased with the man’s work.
