说起中国服饰,一百多年前我们穿的长衣服叫作“长袍”或“马褂”。
Talking about the Chinese clothing, a hundred years ago we wore long gowns, we call them "Chang Pao" or "Ma Gua".

当然现在中国人,特别是男人们,不再穿那样的长衣服了。
Of course nowadays we don’t wear that kind of long thing any longer, especially for men.

在民国时期,出现了“中山装”,是以孙中山先生的名字命名的。
And then during the Sun Yat-sen age we had "Zhong Shan Zhuang", which was named after Mr. Sun Yat-sen.

它看起来很像严肃的正式的夹克,有一个小领子,五颗扣子和四个口袋。
It looks like very rigid kind of formal jacket with a very small collar here and we’ve got five buttons and four pockets.

如果你见过孙中山先生的画像,那上面他穿的就是中山装。
Yeah if you see a portrait of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, what he wore in the picture that is "Zhong Shan Zhuang".

1949年以后,有了一种看起来很像中山装的夹克,但是它的四个口袋,尤其是上面的两个口袋,不像中山装那么明显。
And after 1949, we had a kind of jacket which looked very similar to Zhong Shan Zhuang, but the four pockets, especially the pockets on the top are not very obvious.

口袋有扣盖,但是我们看不见(口袋),因为它是裹在里面的。
We got the cover of the pocket, but we cannot see the pocket, because it’s inside.

70年代晚期,中国向世界开放,很多新事物涌进中国。
And after the late 1970’s, China opens up to the world and a lot of new things come into China.
