印度男子打造纯金衬衫庆新年

印度一名男子花重金打造了一件纯金衬衫作为他新年庆典期间的行头，并称购置纯金衬衫既可以当作投资也可以得到女士们的关注。

A team of 15 goldsmiths toiled for two weeks for money-lender Datta Phuge, 32, who custom ordered the seven-pound top to wear for New Year's festivities.

India has long had a love affair with gold. But one businessman there is so infatuated with（迷恋） the precious metal, he dropped about $230,000 on solid gold shirt.

A team of 15 goldsmiths toiled for two weeks for money-lender Datta Phuge, 32, who custom ordered the seven-pound top to wear for New Year's festivities, according to the Pune Mirror. The shirt is crafted from 14,000 22-karat gold rings linked together and comes with six Swarovski crystal buttons and a belt also made of gold.

Phuge said he considers the shirt "an investment which will keep appreciating" and make him a hit with the ladies.

"People buy cars and go on holidays abroad," he told the Mirror. "For me, gold is the ultimate passion. That is the reason I have spent a whopping（巨大的） amount of money on the shirt."

That kind of thinking isn't unique in India, where gold represents wealth and financial security in much the way that owning a home does in the United States. HSBC recently predicted that gold prices would jump this year thanks in part to demand from Indian customers like Phuge.
