Social and Cultural Expectations
社會與文化期望
考官答案
Another reason is that it’s kind of expected to smile in photos. In many cultures, people are told to say “cheese” and smile when someone takes a picture. Sometimes, people feel like they have to smile because everyone else is doing it, especially in group photos.
另一個原因是拍照時微笑幾乎成為一種預期。在許多文化中,人們被告知拍照時要說「cheese」並微笑。有時,人們覺得自己必須微笑,因為其他人都在這麼做,尤其是在團體照中。
There’s also a strong social and cultural expectation to smile in photographs. In many societies, it’s almost automatic for photographers to ask people to say “cheese,” which encourages everyone to smile. People often feel a subtle pressure to smile because it’s become the norm, especially in group pictures. This expectation has made smiling for the camera a widespread habit, regardless of how people actually feel at the moment.
在很多社會中,人們普遍有拍照時微笑的強烈社會和文化期待。攝影師幾乎自動會要求人們說「cheese」,這鼓勵每個人都微笑。人們經常感受到一種微妙的壓力要微笑,因為這已成為規範,特別是在團體照中。這種期待使得對著鏡頭微笑成為一種普遍的習慣,無論當時人們的真實感受如何。
語法分析
1. 被動語態:「It’s almost automatic for photographers to ask people to say 'cheese,' which encourages everyone to smile.」被動語態和關係子句的使用增加了句子的複雜性。 2. 名詞片語作為主語:「A strong social and cultural expectation」和「this expectation」被用作主語,顯示出較高級的句子結構。 3. 現在完成式:「has made smiling for the camera a widespread habit」使用現在完成式來表示隨時間的變化。 4. 狀語子句:「regardless of how people actually feel at the moment」是一個狀語子句,提供額外的信息。
