文档介绍：领带颜色暴露了你什么?
What the colour of your tie says about you
When Joshua Blue, a vice principal at the Kennedy School in Hong Kong, hosts an assembly for his students, he wears a light violet-coloured pastel tie to give him an edge.
坚尼地小学(Kennedy School)的副校长约书亚·布卢(Joshua Blue)在给学生讲话时,一条粉紫色领带给他增色不少。
The bluish-purple tie is “colourful yet muted”, he said, which Blue believes keeps students from being as bored when listening. On the other hand, he avoids brighter purples and pinks when standing up in front of students.
布卢说,紫中带蓝的领带“多彩而柔和”。他觉得这能让学生听他说话时,不至于想打瞌睡。另外,在学生面前发言,他不会选择亮紫色和粉色领带。
“You don’t want so many bright colours that the kids will get distracted, ” said Blue, 35.
“不要用太多的亮色,这会让孩子们分心,”35岁的布卢说。
It might sound a bit like hocus pocus, but experts say that no matter the audience — clients, staff or even children — picking the right tie colour can help get your message across.
这听起来可能有点荒唐,但专家说,不管是观众——顾客,员工甚至是孩子——挑对了领带颜色能帮你传信达意。
“Colours give off very specific signals, ” said David Zyla, New York-based author of Color Your Style. “The same suit can be transformed with different tie colours, each with a very different impact and message.”
写了《用颜色秀出你的风格》(Color Your Style)的纽约作家大卫·兹拉(David Zyla)说:“颜色会传递特定的讯息”。他还表示:“不同的领带颜色让每一件西装看上去都与众不同,每一种颜色都会产生不同的影响,传递不同的讯息。”
