"Not the least," was the answer, "when it comes to her adornment. What Paris says, she will do, blindly and unintelligently if you will, but she will do it. She will sacrifice her patriotism; she will even justify a possible disregard of the decencies. Look at the present Parisian styles. They are absolutely indecent. Women know it, but they follow them just the same, and they will. It is all very unpleasant to say this, but it is the truth and you will find it out. Your effort, fine as it is, will bear no fruit."

白话

对方接着说:说到打扮,巴黎说什么她就做什么,哪怕盲目、不理智也照做。她会牺牲爱国心,甚至为可能的不体面找理由。你看现在的巴黎款式,绝对不体面,女人知道,但还是跟,而且会一直跟。这话很难听,但这是事实,你早晚会发现。你的努力再好,也不会有结果。这揭示了一个更深的机制:时尚消费有时无关美丑对错,而是群体模仿和身份站队。想改变它,不能只靠揭露真相,得改变群体参照和面子来源。

上下文

这位女性进一步指出,巴黎时尚即使不体面,女性仍会盲目追随,博克的努力难有成果。

今日一问

你身边有没有一种“明知不合理却人人照做”的消费,它的面子来源是什么?
