Good Monday Evening, this is NEO, the seventh episode brought to you by Lewis, from Yangzhou. 大家周一晚上好，我是靖磊，在扬州给大家带来第七期新闻英语在线节目。
Wanna get more respect from others? Maybe you could start from dressing in a, sort of, "abnormal" way. Frankly speaking, when I read the news below, I was totally not expecting this idea. Yet, to give it a second thought, it does have a point.
亲们，想要获得他人更多的尊敬么？或许可以"尝试"从衣着打扮上下下功夫哦，“来个与众不同的”！
坦白讲，初读下面这条新闻的时候，我确实没这么想过! 可是，细细这么一啄磨，确实有点道理!
So to be or not to be, let&`&s hear the story!
Researchers at the Harvard Business School claim that people who do not follow "normal fashion" get more respect from others. Doctoral student Silvia Bellezza and two of her colleagues examined how we view the social status and competence of people who do not conform to "normal" ways of dressing. They discovered that the more outlandishly people dress, the more respect they get. Participants in the research considered others who had a "weirder" fashion to be more unique. Researchers said that rather than think badly of someone scruffily dressed, many people believe that dressing down is a sign of confidence. Ms Bellezza said: "If you&`&re willing to deviate, there are upsides."
Bellezza conducted a number of experiments to test how people reacted to non-conformity. In one, people in different types of clothes shopped at expensive boutiques in Milan. One group wore casual sports clothes, while the other donned expensive-looking outfits. The sales assistants assumed the ones in the sports gear were the bigger spenders. In another test, students rated an unshaven, T-shirt-clad professor above an academic wearing a suit and tie. Bellezza says high-profile entrepreneurs who dress down may be responsible for changing our perceptions. In particular, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg&`&s wearing of hoodies and the late Steve Jobs&`& trademark jeans, sneakers and polo neck tops.

News Angle: 新闻视角
For today&`&s News Angle, let&`&s continue with the discussion regarding the question I throw to you guys in the beginning of our program today. Below are some more detailed and sensible explanations.
今天的新闻视角环节，咱继续说说在节目刚开始给大家抛出的那个问题！“穿衣打扮上和别人不同是否真的就会让别人更加尊重你？”下面给大家分享的是更加详细具体的解释。
The late Apple co-founder was best known for his visionary leadership and innovation—but he was also known for his unvarying signature look. Unlike most corporate executives, who wear suits and ties, Jobs was committed to his chosen uniform of a black mock turtleneck, blue jeans and New Balance sneakers.
已故苹果联合创始人乔布斯是一个有着远见卓识且勇于创新的领导者，但同时他也因其一成不变的标志性着装而被大家所熟知。作为CEO，他不像其他大多数管理者那样穿西服打领带而是始终如一坚持如下着装：上身黑色圆翻领衫，下身蓝色牛仔裤，脚上纽百伦运动鞋。
William Arruda, a personal branding guru and author of "Ditch. Dare. Do!", says this practice can be part of personal branding. “They wear what they wear because that’s what they feel comfortable wearing,” he says. “When you wear something that just feels right, you are confident. And it is also great to have a trademark look. It makes you memorable and distinctive.”
一位在个人品牌营销领域的专家这么点评老乔的着装-“他们按照自己的感觉，怎么舒服怎么穿。衣服合身，穿衣服的人也显着自信。而且，大家可以通过行头认出你，记住了你，这该有多棒啊！”
“It’s who they are, how they want to represent themselves and make a statement. It’s not about what you wear, but what you accomplish. [Mark] Zuckerberg wears casual clothing because he represents the entire generation of young people who don’t want to wear suits to work.”It says this is who I am and this is what I enjoy. I think it’s a rather positive thing that helps people identify with them and allows them to just be themselves.”
Others do it to be more efficient.Take Albert Einstein. It has been reported that the famous physicist bought several versions of the same grey suit because he didn’t want to waste brainpower on choosing an outfit each morning. Now—decades later—President Obama does the same.
All right, that&`&s all about today&`&s news angle. I have made my decision of changing and elevating myself and I think I&`&ve figured a way out-starting from my wardrobe. How about you guys? That&`&s all about this edition of NEO, meet you this Thursday!
