不辣哥的ＢＬＯＧ

時尚圈最近還滿流行Dandy這個字，一般通用的翻譯會是勢利眼裝模作樣的花花公子，但是實際上除了一些負面的意義外，Dandy同時也包括某些優異的特點，包括對言語的精練操弄以及藝文方面的品味，而在穿著打扮上就更是不用說了．

Webster字典的解釋只有短短一句a man who gives exaggerated attention to personal appearance.(極端重視外表的人)感覺好像沒有把Dandy的意思完全抓到，倒是維基百科寫得則是非常詳細．
A dandy is a man who places particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and the cultivation of leisurely hobbies. Some dandies, especially in Britain in the late 18th and 19th century, often strove to affect aristocratic values even though many came from common backgrounds—thus a dandy could be considered a kind of snob.
The practice of dandyism first appeared in the revolutionary 1790s, both in London and Paris. The dandy cultivated a skeptical reserve, to such extremes that the novelist George Meredith, no dandy himself, once defined cynicism as "intellectual dandyism." Some took a more benign view. For example, Thomas Carlyle in his Sartor Resartus, wrote that a dandy was no more than "a clothes-wearing man". Others such as Charles Baudelaire held that the dandy's mere existence was a reproach to the responsible citizen of the middle class.

貼了這樣多解釋應該還是不太清楚，其實最簡單的還是丟出個人名拿裘徳洛來舉例就解決囉！他應該就算是Dandy的標準範例，尤其是在阿飛正傳裡面的角色，最近當上Dunhill的代言人拍的廣告也是走這種調調．

既然我叫不辣哥，所以當然是和Dandy完全不相干，穿著方面一直難有很大的改進，言談中搞笑的成分也總是比耍酷來的多，對付女生向來都是手足無措，所以我當然還是會很羨慕Dandy那樣在現代社會很吃的開的人．

不過老實說還真的是滿討厭那樣的人，尤其是看到裘德洛的Dunhill海報更是超不順眼，還好電影阿飛的角色結局還滿慘的，希望現實生活中這些花花公子也都是這樣收場，如此一來好人才有出頭天．

說了這樣多，其實都是酸葡萄心理啦，能把自己培養的Dandy一點也好，但是在還沒有改造成功以前，面對這些令人又愛又恨的Dandy們，我只能套句阿湯哥的經典台詞：”小心！走開！走開！”
