高手幫幫忙

Question

From the point of view of an observer rather than a follower of fashion, it is interesting to note just what, during the course of world history, has come in and gone out of fashion. For example, gold, because of certain intrinsic qualities such as the fact that it does not rust, and, of course, its rarity value, has survived as a fashionable, high prestige status symbol since time immemorial.
請問點解?

為甚麼這段文字好像是另一用戶lemonwong109發問文章的延續?

這段文字繼續講述潮流的含義
譯如下

如果不談跟隨潮流, 單純以客觀角度觀察世界歷史中各種潮流的興衰, 是十分值得玩咮的. 比如說, 黃金這種金屬具有稀有而不易锈蝕的本質, 讓它自古以來都被視為潮流和身份的象徵.

我看錯了, 兩篇是同一個用戶發出的

從一個旁觀者而非追隨者的角度來看「潮流」, 值得留意的是在歷史的洪流之中, 究竟有過甚麼東西曾經踏進過一或是走出了所謂「潮流」的領域. 例如黃金就是因為它本質上不會生鏽的特性, 當然還有它的罕有所帶來的價值, 使得它得而自古時便已一直被追捧並視為一個使人嚮往的地位象徵.
