用英语介绍旗袍
“旗袍”在英语中有一个固定的词，不过是一个l oanwo rd，外来语，写做cheo ngsam，是从广东话C anton e里来的。我们也可以拼写为qip ao或者c hipao：
The cheong sam is a body-huggin g one-pieceChines e dressfor women; the male versio n is the changs han. It is knownin Mandar in Chines e as the qipaoor chipao, and is also knownin Englis h as a mandar in gown.
旗袍是中国一种紧身的连衣女子服饰，男子的被称为长衫。英语中也用m andar in gown
来表示这种服饰。
清朝时候的旗装是很宽松的，1900年之后，在上海，旗袍的样式发生了改变：
The modern izedversio n is notedfor accent uatin g the figure s of women, and as such was popula r as a dressfor high societ y. As Wester n fashio ns change d, the basiccheong sam design change d too, introd ucing high-necked sleeve lessdresse s, bell-like sleeve s, and the blacklace frothi ng at the hem. By the 1940s, cheong sam came in a wide variet y of fabric s with an equalvariet y of access ories. 现代版的旗袍很贴身，更能显出女子的身材，为上流社会的女性所推崇。旗袍的式样也跟随西方时尚而变
化，出现了高领无袖、喇叭状袖子和黑色蕾丝泡泡镶边的款式。到上世纪四十年代，旗袍已经有很多种不同材质和配饰。
旗袍和长衫的那种标志性小立领被称为mand arincollar，a shortunfold ed stand-up collar style，而旗袍的那种盘扣被称为frog，或者Chin e frog，frog在这里不是青蛙的意思哦，意为一种用细绳做的扣饰：
A frog (someti mes referr ed to as a Chines e frog) is an orname ntalbraidi ng for fasten ing the frontof a garmen t that consis ts of a button and a loop throug h whichit pass.
盘扣是一种装饰性的编织状扣子，用来扣住一件衣服的前襟
