When you buy a swimsuit, there's generally one thing you expect from it - to be able to wear it in the pool.

你买泳装的时候，通常会期待一件事——就是在泳池里穿上它。

So we feel a little sorry for those who've splashed $380 on Gucci's all-in-one.

所以我们有点同情那些挥霍了380美元买Gucci连体泳衣的人了。

When you look closely at the item's description, you'll see that it reads: "Due to the nature of this particular fabric¹, this swimsuit should not come into contact with chlorine."

你细看这件衣服的描述，会发现上面写着：“由于织物性质特殊，这种泳衣不能接触氯气。”

Right. So no swimming in the swimsuit. Instead, Selfridges suggests you "wear it with skirts, denim² and anything high-rise".

是这样的。所以穿着泳衣不要游泳。相反，塞尔福里奇百货公司还建议你“搭配裙子、牛仔裤和任何高腰的衣服”。

Clearly, we're not the only ones bemused by the concept.

显然，我们并不是唯一对这个概念感到困惑的人。

One comment reads: "I swear Gucci is baiting the world. $380 for a SWIMSUIT that literally³ says in the product details that you can’t even wear it to swim in."

一条评论写道：“我发誓Gucci是在激怒全世界。一条价值380美元的泳衣，单从字面意思来说产品细节，你甚至不能穿着它去游泳。

Another user wrote: "WHAT???? Don't swim in your swimsuit..."

另一位用户写道：“什么？不能穿着泳衣游泳……”

Despite the ruckus, it seems Gucci doesn't need to worry about making its swimwear waterproof⁴. The piece is now completely sold out online.

尽管骚动不断，可Gucci似乎并不需要担心如何让泳衣防水。在网上衣服已经售罄了。

Well, we guess it's not the sort of thing you'd buy for laps at the local rec center.

额，我们猜这不是你在当地的娱乐中心会买的那种东西。
