高手幫幫忙

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.
