That's Fashion

Andy and Jess are at a fashion designer's party. (A=Andy; J=Jess)
A : My God, Jess. What's that on Betty's head?
J : Beats me. How weird! I think it's a new kind of hat.
A : Oh, really? If you ask me, it's more like a bird's nest. How stupid it looks!
J : You think so? Hey, wait a minute. You might be right. There's something moving in the nest...I mean, hat.
A : Gee whiz! It's a bird.
J : Holy cow! How does she keep it from flying away?
A : Don't you see? She's got it fastened to a gold chain around her neck.
J : If the bird were strong enough, it could fly her to the moon, so to speak.
A : That would really be funny.
J : Well, that's fashion!

安迪和洁丝在一场由时装设计师开的派对上。
安迪：我的天啊, 洁丝, 贝蒂头上那什么玩意儿啊？
洁丝：问倒我了。真是很怪异！我想那是一种新款式的帽子吧。
安迪：哦, 是吗？如果你问我的话, 我倒觉得那比较像个鸟巢。那东西看起来好愚蠢喔！
洁丝：你真这么想吗？嘿, 等一下。你可能说得对。那鸟巢里……我是指帽子里有东西在动。
安迪：哇！是一只鸟喔。
洁丝：天啊！她是怎么不让那只鸟飞走的？
安迪：你看不出来吗？她用一条绕在脖子上的金项链把它栓住。
洁丝：如果那只鸟力气够大的话, 它甚至可以带她飞到月球。
安迪：那一定很有趣。
洁丝：呃, 那就是时髦嘛！
