远方的兄弟姐妹,帮我翻译一篇文章,好吗?

  It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s from the left. Considering most of the world’s population----men and women----are right-handed, the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
  History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men’s shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
  Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.

  •   这是不足为奇的服装制造商(生产商)按照(特征)的各种功能的衣服一定的统一标准。什么奇怪,但是,是为妇女所采用的标准是相反的人之一。看看你的衣服的方式按钮看看。男人的衣服往往从右边按钮,妇女从左边的。考虑到世界人口的男女---- ----大部分是右撇子,男人的标准似乎使妇女更有意义。
      那么,为什么从左边的妇女的衣服按钮? 历史真的在这里似乎无关紧要。按钮只有在第一次出现在17世纪,当有钱的女人是由公务员的穿着华贵的衣服。对于大部分右手的仆人,让妇女的衬衫,从左边的按钮会更容易。另一方面,有男子从右边是有道理的衬衫按钮了。
      大多数男人打扮自己,和刀剑所用右手从左侧就不太可能得到在衬衫被捕。 今天的妇女很少穿着仆人,而是从左边扣仍是它们的标准。很感兴趣吧?其实,一个标准,一旦设定,抗拒改变。曾几何时,所有妇女从左边扣衬衫,这本来是任何单一制造商提供妇女从右边的衬衫扣子风险。
      毕竟,女性已经过于庞大,用于从左边的衬衫钮扣,将必须开发新的习惯和技能,以开关。此外,一些女性可能已经找到它的社会尴尬出现在公开穿的衬衫从右边搞定,因为任何人会相信谁注意到他们都穿着男人的衬衫。
