Facing Cancer, a Stark Choice

By TARA PARKER-POPE

Double mastectomies are on the rise, both among women with cancer in only one breast and those with a genetic risk.

 Mastectomy is the medical term for the surgical removal of one or both breasts, partially or completely. Mastectomy is usually done to treat breast cancer; in some cases, women and some men believed to be at high risk of breast cancer have the operation prophylactically, that is, to prevent cancer rather than treat it.

男人为何青睐乐福鞋？
这种整块皮革向上包覆，利用缝线与鞋面相连的休闲便鞋，已有百年历史，如今又回到时尚潮流中来。

相 较于女性为了取悦他人不惜“削足适履”的悲壮，男性在 “穿鞋”这件事上就平和得多。但是，没有出现过九寸高跟男鞋并不表明男性对于鞋就没有自己的追求。乐福鞋（loafer），这种整块皮革向上包覆，并利用 缝线与鞋面相连的休闲便鞋，虽然已有整整100年的历史，至今依然被男人垂青。

它有广泛的名人效应

也 许没有谁能比古琦（Gucci）更有资格宣称乐福鞋正在回归时尚舞台。据古琦创意总监弗里达· 贾娜妮（Frida Giannini）介绍，“马衔乐福鞋是古琦档案里最具有标志性的单品之一。” 早在1979年，著名影星达斯汀·霍夫曼（Dustin Hoffman）就曾穿着这款乐福鞋搭配短袜，出现在电影《克莱默夫妇》（Kramer vs. Kramer）中；到了上世纪八十年代初期，《上流社会青年指南》（The Official Sloane Ranger Handbook）的作者Peter York与他的同伴Ann Barr将古琦乐福鞋认作为进入上流社会最基本的身份标签。到了1989年，作家Colin McDowell在自己的著作《鞋的时尚与幻想》（Shoes: Fashion and Fantasy）中描述乐福鞋是20世纪最为著名的身份象征。而在美国，乐福鞋的经典品牌Bass Weejuns，因被总统肯尼迪穿着而闻名于世。这些曝光率极高的名人效应使男人们相信，乐福鞋与彰显个人身份之间拥有着极为紧密的关系。

[Short for obsolete land-loafer, vagabond, idler, possibly partial translation of obsolete German Landläufer, from Middle High German landlöufer : land, land + löufer, runner (from loufen, to run , from Old High German hlouffan).]

Definition of loafer

noun

• 1a person who avoids work and spends their time idly.

• 2a leather shoe shaped like a moccasin, with a flat heel: his handmade Italian loafers

Origin:

mid 19th century: perhaps from German Landläufer 'tramp', from Land 'land' + laufen (dialect lofen) 'to run'

dóuble-bréasted[dóuble-bréasted]

[形]〈上着が〉二重ボタンの, ダブルの. ⇒SINGLE-BREASTED

A grey striped six-on-one double-breasted suit with jetted pockets, a style popular in the 1980s

In clothing, the term double-breasted refers to a coat or jacket with wide, overlapping front flaps and two parallel columns of buttons or snaps; by contrast, a single-breasted coat has a narrow overlap and only one column of buttons. In most modern double-breasted coats, one column of buttons is decorative, while the other functional. The other buttons, placed on the outside edge of the coat breast, are either decorative (non-functional) or functional, allowing the overlap to fasten reversibly, right lapel over left lapel. To strengthen the fastening, a functional inner-button, called the jigger, is usually added to parallel-fasten the over-lapped layers together from the inside.^[1]

Single- and double-breasted jackets

The blazer: A single-breasted, reefer-style, navy blue blazer dressed with brass buttons.

A blazer is a type of jacket, worn as smart casual dress. The term blazer occasionally is synonymous with boating jacket and sports jacket, two different garments. A blazer resembles a suit coat cut more casually — sometimes with flap-less patch pockets and metal buttons. A blazer's cloth is usually durable (14oz.), because it is an outdoor sports jacket. Stylistically, blazers often are uniform garments, i.e. airline, school, and yachting, and rowing clubs.
