Dude, who told your man to wear that hat? 豬頭，誰叫妳的男人戴那頂帽子?

Since leaving the trucker hat behind and marrying Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher's fashion sense has taken a turn for the better.

Kutcher, the face of 2003's trucker hat fad, dispenses fashion tips for couples in an essay in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine.

"Guys don't like to be told they look nice, pretty or cute or that they clean up well," the 29-year-old actor says.

"So when your guy finally tries on something that you like, tell him that he looks like James Bond or Tony Montana," he writes.

"Feel free to be even more vague than that: 'Wow, that suit makes you look like that hot football player!'"

Kutcher, who got his break on Fox network's That '70s Show, is often photographed on the arm of the stylish Moore, 44. The couple wed in September 2005.

"Trust me, say any of this and you won't be able to get him to take the damn suit off," he says. "Before you know it, he'll be wearing an Armani tux to league night at the bowling alley."

His advice for women: "You never want people to notice your accessories.... In this same way, your man should not upstage you. He is there to highlight you."

"Make sure the look isn't too matchy-matchy.... Your best bet is to match the man gear to that great new Balenciaga bag that you're planning to carry. If your bag works with your outfit, so will he."

Kutcher, who hosted MTV's Punk'd prank show, has starred in films such as Dude, Where's My Car? and The Guardian. He also appeared in last year's Bobby, co-starring Moore.(AP)

自從艾希頓．庫奇脫掉卡車帽並與黛咪．摩兒結婚以來，他的時尚感變得更好了。

庫奇是二○○三年卡車帽熱潮的代表人物，他在九月號的《哈潑時尚》雜誌發表文章提供情侶們一些時尚小撇步。

這位二十九歲的演員說：「男性不喜歡被形容長得好看、美、可愛或是儀容整潔。」

他寫道：「因此，當妳的男人終於決心要嘗試一些討好妳的東西時，妳要告訴他，他看起來像詹姆斯．龐德或湯尼．蒙塔納。」

他繼續說：「妳可以更籠統地說：『哇，那西裝讓妳看起來像一位很性感的美式足球球員。』」

獲得演出福斯電視台的《七○年代秀》影集機會的庫奇，經常被拍攝到他與四十四歲時尚的摩兒摟在一起的樣子。這對情侶在二○○五年九月結為連理。

他說：「相信我，這著說的話，妳將會使他死也不要脫掉西裝。」他繼續說：「很快，他將穿著亞曼尼的燕尾服出現在保齡球館的球隊聯盟之夜。」

他給女性的忠告是：「妳絕對不想要別人注意到妳的配件…同樣的道理，妳的男人不該搶妳的鋒頭，而是要突顯妳。」

他說：「確保你們的穿著不會太過相似…最好是讓男伴的衣著搭配妳正準備要拿的那個又好又新的機車包。如果妳的包包與妳的穿著互相搭配，那他也要配合妳。」

曾主持MTV電視台《龐克惡搞秀》的庫奇也演電影，例如《豬頭，我的車咧?》與《驚濤大冒險》。他去年也與摩兒聯合主演《刺殺巴比》。（美聯社／翻譯：林亞蒂）

Say What? 說說看 trucker hat 卡車帽 Trucker hats are similar to baseball caps, but the back half of trucker hats are made of plastic mesh and the front usually sports a company logo. The trucker hat fad came and went in America faster than Britney Spears on her way to Vegas. The fad hit its peak in 2003 when Justin Timberlake was seen wearing one after the Grammys. Fashion magazines wrote articles to alert the general public about the trend and in literally the same articles declared the trend to be over. 卡車帽很類似棒球帽，不過其帽身後半部是以塑膠網製成，其前半部通常印有公司的標誌。 美國這股卡車帽流行潮的興衰速度比小甜甜布蘭妮到拉斯維加斯的速度還快。 這股熱潮因賈斯汀在二○○三年葛來美獎後戴上卡車帽而達到最高點。時尚雜誌發表文章來提醒大眾有關的趨勢，文中並宣告這股卡車帽的熱潮已經結束。

Out Loud 對話練習 Toby: Dude, I was in the city yesterday and saw that trucker hats are in. Tractor: No kidding? I have about 40 trucker hats sitting in my garage. Maybe I could go sell them. Toby: But this morning I was watching E!, and they said the fad is over. Tractor: It sounds like I'm a day late and a dollar short. Toby: So it goes. 托比：老兄，我昨天在城內看到卡車帽正流行。 崔克特：不會吧？我有約四十頂卡車帽現正放在我的車庫。或許我可以把它們賣掉。 托比：不過今天早上我看《娛樂新聞！》說這股熱潮已經結束。 崔克特：這聽起來像是我遲了一步。 托比：不就是這樣。 a day late and a dollar short　為時已晚 To say something is a day late and a dollar short is to say that it's too little, too late. For example, "Noah worked hard to save the farm, but he was a day late and a dollar short." 說某事「a day late and a dollar short」，也是就指解決問題所需的行動為時已晚。例如：「諾亞努力工作想挽救農場，但是為時已晚。」
