47. Uniform制服 [00:02.39]Americans are pound of their variety and individuality, [00:07.26]yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, [00:11.78]whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator [00:14.94]or the uniform of a five-star general. [00:18.26]Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? [00:22.57]Among the arguments for uniforms, [00:25.55]one of the first is that in the eyes of most people [00:29.08]they look more professional than civilian clothes. [00:32.62]People have become conditioned to expect superior quality [00:37.10]from a man who wears a uniform. [00:39.57]The television repairman [00:41.84]who wears uniform tends to inspire more trust [00:45.70]than one who appears in civilian clothes. [00:48.53]Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic [00:51.58]is increased by a uniform. [00:53.91]What easier way is there for a nurse, [00:57.03]a policeman, a barber, or a waiter [00:59.74]to lose professional identity than to step out of uniform? [01:04.38]Uniforms also have many practical benefits. [01:08.48]They save on other clothes. [01:10.56]They save on laundry bills. [01:12.65]They are tax-deductible.
