In Elizabethan England, them were laws to prevent members of the rabble from dressing above their station. This was never really effective, but to understand how truly futile it is these days for the upper classes to try keeping the masses in their sartorial place, you need to know what a chav is. "Chav"—the champion buzzword of 2004 in Britain, according to one language maven there—refers to something between a subculture and a social class. The unofficial definition is a clueless suburbanite with appalling taste and a tendency toward track suits and loud jewelry.
In any case, there’s one aspect of chavness that almost every description mentions right away: Chavs love Burberry. The recognizable plaid pattern of Burberry, the venerable English luxury brand, has long since come to serve as a status signifier. Presumably it is status that chavs are looking for when they snap up anything and everything emblazoned with the plaid. The most popular element of the chav uniform is the Burberry plaid cap.
Stacey Cartwright, a Burberry executive, argues that this chav business is just a trivial tabloid story. The international brand continues to thrive in charfree North America and Asia, she says. Responding to reports that Burberry discontinued one of its plaid caps in the U.K., she says that the "small" British market was slow anyway. "The char issue won’t have helped, but it’s on top of what was already quite a sluggish market," she says. Besides, she continues, "the caps that the socalled chavs wear are actually counterfeit products; they’re not our products." Burberry still offers, for example, a $200 cashmere plaid cap in Britain. "That’s out of the price range of most of these individuals," Cartwright says.
What’s Stacey Cartwright’s attitude towards the char business?
选项
A、She thinks Burberry will thrive in chavfree areas.
B、She believes the char business is of no great influence to Burberry.
C、She thinks the chavness business will soon be out of date.
D、She believes the chavness is the business of counterfeit products.
答案
A
解析
本题根据Stacey Cartwright的话“The international brand continues to thrive in chavfree North America and Asia”可得出答案为A。选项B不符合题意,C项Stacey Cartwright说的是“The chav issue won’t have helped”,意为chav并不会有什么帮助和影响:选项D也和原文表达有悖,Stacey Cartwright只是说很多chav穿的是Burberry的假货,但并不是说“chavness”就是伪造行业。
