你是一個積極進取的人,享受萬人矚目的人,還是一個忠實的朋友?時尚達人只要看一看你的鞋子,就能說得八九不離十。
If you're someone who enjoys fitness①challenges, takes your New Year's resolutions to heart, and has been known to go the extra mile with a label maker,we bet you prefer running shoes. "This is someone who's very confident, very goal-oriented, and very organized," reveals Kelada. "They really illustrate the idea of multitasking②, taking care of everything,and being everywhere. I always think of moms when I picture the running shoe."
如果你喜歡挑戰(zhàn)體能,能把自己的新年決心牢記在心,并且會付出額外的努力,我打賭你肯定偏愛跑鞋。“這類人特別有自信,目標明確,井井有條。他們就是多任務(wù)處理和事必躬親的真實寫照。每當我設(shè)計跑鞋的時候,就想到了媽媽這個形象?!笨死_說。
If you're someone who always turns to flats, we know that you work your butt off behind the scenes to ensure there's always a perfectly finished product.And the best part is, you're so humble③that you don't require any attention or recognition for your efforts. "The fl at-wearer is focused, very modest, and generous," says Kelada. "They're often the women doing all the work in the world. They're the ones behind the scenes making the engine run."
如果你總是穿平底鞋,那么我猜你應(yīng)該是個運籌帷幄,確保一切完美運行的人。最讓人佩服的是,你特別謙虛,不會因為付出努力而要求任何關(guān)注或認可?!按┢降仔娜四繕嗣鞔_,謙虛,而且為人大方。”克拉達說,“穿平底鞋的女性往往會把所有的任務(wù)都做了,她們是確保一切正常運行的幕后工作者?!?/p>

Women who wear flashy stilettos like Jimmy Choos and Christian Louboutins may seem materialistic⑤,but these women are actually incredibly hardworking.They have major drive, determination, and a standout⑥work ethic⑦. "This is someone who says'yes' before she says 'no.' She's very willing, and very open to possibilities," says Kelada. "She also really loves and values beauty, so she surrounds herself with beauty, whether it be in things, people, or how she lives.

For sneaker buffs, age truly is but a number, because you get along with everyone. (摘自Reader's Digest)
