[00:00.10] Now, the VOA Special English program
[00:14.73] WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.
[00:17.66] Last week, I explained
[00:20.45] some English expressions about clothes.
[00:24.40] Everything I told you was true.
[00:27.49] I did not talk through my hat
[00:30.17] or say something
[00:32.02] without knowing the facts.
[00:34.50] Everyone knows there are
[00:36.94] many English expressions
[00:38.98] about clothes.
[00:40.68] There is no need to keep it a secret,
[00:43.81] or keep it under your hat.
[00:46.35] In fact, if I keep talking,
[00:49.53] soon enough you will start
[00:52.07] to think I am an old hat about this
[00:56.05] -- a real expert.
[00:57.75] Do not be fooled, though.
[00:59.25] My friends sometimes call me
[01:03.92] a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
[01:06.16] This is someone who acts
[01:08.55] like a good person,
[01:10.20] but is really a bad person.
[01:13.23] I’m not really a bad person.
[01:16.22] But I do love clothes.
[01:19.10] It is always fun to get dressed up.
[01:23.08] I look great in my best clothes.
[01:26.32] When I put them on,
[01:28.01] I feel decked out.
[01:30.51] You might say
[01:31.90] when I wear my best clothes,
[01:34.54] I am dressed to the nines
[01:36.93] or dressed to the teeth.
[01:39.67] In fact, my husband says
[01:42.35] I look dressed to kill.
[01:44.89] Of course, I would never kill anyone.
[01:49.03] But, there is something special
[01:51.87] about putting on clothes
[01:53.91] that are pleasing to the eye.
[01:56.05] My best clothes are not
[01:59.19] modern or fashionable.
[02:01.58] Maybe someday they will
[02:04.46] come into fashion.
[02:05.80] But I really do not care.
[02:08.30] They certainly look better
[02:10.44] on me than my birthday suit.
[02:12.63] Did you know that everyone
[02:15.22] has a birthday suit?
[02:17.11] You wear it when you are wearing
[02:19.60] no clothes at all.
[02:21.65] Babies are born wearing
[02:24.50] their birthday suits.
[02:26.13] I am very careful with my clothes.
[02:29.67] I handle them with kid gloves.
[02:32.70] I try not to get them dirty or torn.
[02:36.44] Most of my clothes
[02:38.47] fit like a glove.
[02:40.22] They fit perfectly.
[02:42.71] But when I eat too much,
[02:45.24] I feel like my clothes might
[02:48.22] burst at the seams.
[02:49.92] My clothes feel too restrictive and tight.
[02:53.70] Some of the clothes I like best
[02:57.30] are hand-me-downs.
[02:59.49] My older sister gave them to me
[03:02.38] when she no longer wanted them.
[03:04.92] Hand-me-downs are great
[03:07.41] because clothes often cost too much money.
[03:11.79] I live on a shoestring.
[03:14.52] I have a very small budget
[03:17.31] and little money to spend on clothes.
[03:20.49] However, my sister has a lot of money
[03:24.43] to spend on clothes.
[03:26.10] Maybe someday the shoe
[03:28.83] will be on the other foot.
[03:31.06] The opposite will be true.
[03:33.25] I will have a lot of money
[03:36.00] to buy clothes and my sister
[03:38.39] will get hand-me-downs from me.
[03:40.92] I admit I dream of being rich.
[03:45.65] I dream that someday I will be able
[03:49.38] to live like a rich person.
[03:51.62] I will know what it is like
[03:54.75] to walk in another person’s shoes.
[03:58.19] Some of my friends got rich
[04:01.18] by riding someone else’s coat tails.
[04:04.96] They are successful today
[04:07.75] as a result of someone else
[04:10.38] being successful.
[04:12.07] But, I believe you should
[04:14.86] never criticize others
[04:16.95] for something
[04:17.95] you would do yourself.
[04:19.59] What is said about someone
[04:22.23] else can also be said
[04:24.62] about you. Remember,
[04:26.63] if the shoe fits, wear it.
