同食品和住房一样，衣服也是人类的基本需要。防护(自己)是人们开始穿衣服的一个原因。古时候，粗糙的衣服保护我们的祖先免受动物撕咬和伤害。衣服也让人们保暖和去湿。如今人们穿衣服已不仅仅是为了应对天气，最主要的是为了外表。人们选择他们喜欢的或者他们认为其他人会喜

Like food and houses, clothing is a basic human need. One reason people began wearing clothing was for protection. In ancient times, rough garments protected our ancestors from animal bites and kept them from being hurt. Clothing also kept them warm and dry.
    Today clothing is also worn for reasons other than protection against the weather. One of the most important reasons is appearance. People choose clothes in styles and color that they like and that they think other people will like.
