高口2011年春季11-15题点评和原文：

Question 11-15 are based on the following interview

Today we continue our series Traditional Dress All Throughout the World. Our journey takes us to Sri Lanka. Shanika Desilva, a native Sri Lankan now living in Los Angeles California share her thoughts on traditional dress in her country. Shanika, thanks for joining us today!

My pleasure.

First of all, I’d like to ask you, what’s the traditional clothing of Sri Lanka.

Well, for women, it’s Sari. It’s a long piece of cloth that’s trapped around your waist and then it goes over your shoulder.

Do most women in Sri Lanka wear Saris?

Most of the old women wear Sari every day. The younger women tend to wear dresses or pants or something.

Why don’t the younger women wear Saris?

Well I guess some of them feel that Saris are hot and difficult to walk in because they are long.

Sounds like Saris are not very practical.

Some people feel that way. Although women think Saris are old-fashioned they are great for formal occasions. But if you are hanging out with friends, you want something more modern.

So younger women want to be more modern.

Actually I shouldn’t say all younger women it depends on your family history. You see there are too many groups of people in Sri Lanka the Sintolese and Tamos then there are some other ethnic groups like Sri Lankan who are part European. The women who are part European tend to wear western clothing because they have relatives who wear western clothing but women who are Sintolese or Tamos tend to be more traditional

Because they didn’t have that western influence. So you are saying the family background can influence the way they are dressing

Yes I think it does.

We’ve been talking about what the women wear how about men. Do they have traditional clothing?

The men I guess used to wear a Sarans, a long piece of cloth that’s wrapped around the waist.

You say “used to” do they wear them anymore?

People who live in the countryside still wear Sarans but in the city men wear pants and shirts they only wear Sarans to relax at home.

Interesting. Can I switch a gear and ask you some personal questions?

Sure.

Is traditional clothing important to you?

It’s funny because when I was a kid and growing up in Sri Lanka I didn’t want to wear Saris but now I’m older I’d like to wear them sometimes like my wedding. I wore a white Sari in my wedding.

When has your attitude changed do you think?

I guess when you are older you can see the value in it more. When you are younger you are more interested in being a style. wearing Levis and staff like that now I think about something unique from my culture. It’s nice to have something to wear and in U.S. a sari is really exotic.

It certainly is. Well unfortunately our time’s up. Thanks for talking with us, Shanika.

You are welcome.
