　　For a small but increasingly high-profile number of young women in modern China, true love is allabout the numbers.A potential suitor may have a good sense of humor and good looks, but whatreally matters is if he owns an apartment and how large it is.A sizable amount of money in the bankaccount is also a must, and, some say, so is a luxury car.At least, that's the way things look if youwatch television programs these days in China.A host of dating shows have emerged in recentyears, capturing millions of viewers but angering critics who say the programs have negativeinfluence.

　　1.一個潛在的追求者(suitor)可能要很有幽默感而且要英俊，但真正重要的是，他是否擁有一套房子以及房子的大小:“很有幽默感”可用a good sense of humor表示。“英俊”可譯為good looks。“重要”可譯為動詞matter,常用的表達是it doesn't matter.(沒關系。)

　　2.另外，可觀的銀行存款是必需的，而且有人說，豪車也是必需的:“必需”可譯為must, must在這里是可數名詞，指“絕對必要的事物”。“豪車也是必需的”可用a luxury car is a must,too,但如果用倒裝省略句so is aluxury car,則會給文章增色不少。

　　3.如果你看中國電視節目的話，至少現在看起來是這樣的:“至少”可譯at least，與其相對的“至多”則可譯為atmost。“看起來是這樣的”可理解為“這就是事情看起來的樣子，故可譯為that's the way things look。

　　隨著中國中產階級的崛起，相對于他們的父母一代而言，中國的青少年有更多的錢可以花在服裝上。這就鼓勵了“快時尚(fast fashion)”市場在中國的發展。在“快時尚”市場上，國際零售商們出售消費者負擔得起的、與流行大牌設計師設計的服裝款式相仿的服飾。國際快時尚零售商，像Zara和H&M,都旨在將最新的時尚趨勢盡可能快地帶到大眾市場(the mass market)中去。“快時尚”再加上中國人可支配收入的增加，導致了青少年時尚達人(fashionistas)數量的上升。大量國際品牌的涌入給中國設計師帶來了激烈的競爭。
