根据Askci.com在2018年全国双十一购物节上的销售报告,女装羽绒服是十大畅销产品之一。
According to a sales report from askci.com on 2018's Double Eleven, the national shopping day, women's down garments were among the top 10 hit products.
统计数据表明,羽绒服在中国已经流行了很多年。
Statistics show that down garments have been popular for many years in both northern and southern China.
羽绒服提供的强劲保暖似乎已被国人认可。
It seems the strong warmth provided by down garments has been nationally approved.
尤其是在严寒的冬天,当你在风中颤抖时,谁在乎时尚呢?
Especially during a fiercely cold winter, when you shudder in the wind, who cares about being stylish?
您所需要的就是温暖-就像晒太阳,羽绒服可以为您提供。
All you need is warmth -- the very light from heaven, which down garments can provide you with.
然而,随着生活水平的提高,市场上出现了价格更高的服装,里面充斥着鹅绒而不是鸭绒。
However, as living standards rise, more expensive garments filled with goose down, instead of duck down, have appeared in the market.
鹅还是鸭?
Goose or duck?
您可能会问,这两种绒毛之间有什么区别?
You may ask, what's the difference between the down from these two creatures?
首先,成熟鹅的羽绒更大,更厚,这使得鹅绒服装更加温暖。
First, the down from mature geese is larger and thicker, which makes garments filled with goose down much warmer.
其次,鹅绒比鸭绒更柔软,更蓬松。
Second, goose down is more flexible and fluffier than that of ducks.
最后一个关键区别是针对气味敏感的人:与鸭绒相比,鹅绒没有奇怪的气味。鹅通常是“素食者”,吃得干净,而鸭是杂食性的,这可能会使它们的羽毛脱落并散发出浓烈的气味。
The last difference is key for people sensitive to smells: Compared to duck down, goose down has no strange odor. Geese are often "vegetarians" and eat clean, while ducks are omnivorous, which could give their feathers and down a strong scent.
这些优点是用鹅绒制成的服装价格较高的原因。
These are the advantages that account for the higher prices of garments made with goose down.
但是,如果您住在冬天多风而又不那么寒冷的地方,鸭绒仍然是一个不错的选择。
However, duck down is still a good choice if you live in place where winter is windy, yet not that cold.
如果您仍然想要时尚……

尽管大多数羽绒服会使人看起来又大又马虎,但您可以选择较长的羽绒服以使其苗条。
Although most down garments can make people look big and sloppy, you could choose longer ones for a slimming look.
对于颜色,金属色更时尚,并且更容易与衣柜中其他街头风格的服装搭配。
For colors, metallic hues are more fashionable and pair more easily with other street-style outfits in your wardrobe.
