Whether transferring to a new school or traveling abroad, this guide will make you a chameleon in any environment.
无论是转到新学校还是去国外旅行,下面的这些建议能够使你在任何环境中成为“变色龙”。
Step 1: Dress plainly
Dress in plain, clean clothes with muted colors that are neither too dated nor too hip — avoid bright logos and graphics.
第一步:穿着简单
穿简单,干净的衣服,衣服的颜色要既不过时又不时髦——不要穿带有明显标志或图案的衣服。
Tip:Ask people you know who are attending the event what they will be wearing, and what they think others will wear.
小贴士:问下将参加活动的熟人他们会穿什么,以及他认为别人会穿什么。
Step 2: Match behavior
Match the crowd’s behavior by copying what the people around you are doing — if they are jumping and screaming, be sure to do the same.
第二步:配合人群的行为
照着你周围人的行为做,配合人群的行动——如果他们又蹦又叫,一定也要跟着做。
Tip:Stick to the most dense part of the crowd, individuals around the perimeter are easier to spot.
小贴士:要站在人群中人聚集最多的地方,散在周边的人很容易分散。
Step 3: Hide features
Hide your features with a hat or glasses and use makeup to cover scars, birthmarks, or tattoos that may separate you from the other clones.
第三步:隐藏特征
戴帽子或戴眼镜将你的特征隐藏起来,化下妆将伤疤,胎记或是纹身掩盖起来,以免那些使你和其他人有隔阂。
Step 4: Learn the language and culture
Learn the language and be familiar with the culture and customs of a foreign country to avoid standing out.
第四步:学习语言和文化
如果去外国,要学习当地的语言并熟悉当地的文化和风俗,以免显得格格不入。
Step 5: Buddy up
Buddy up with another lost soul in a similar situation — after all, it’s more difficult to single someone out in a crowd when there are two of you.
第五步:混熟
和另一个相同处境的人混熟——毕竟,当人群中有2个搭档时,想把其中1个分开是不太容易的。
