A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS

时尚

Fashion

I am a fashion designer. I'm not an environmentalist. When I get up in the morning, number one I'm a mother and a wife, and number two I design clothes. So the main thing I need to do is create, hopefully, exquisitely beautiful, desirable objects for my customer.

我是一名时装设计师。我不是环保主义者。当我早上起床的时候,首先我是一个母亲和妻子,其次我设计衣服。所以我要做的主要事情就是为我的顾客创造,希望是精致漂亮,令人满意的东西。

I used to look back at pictures and cringe but actually I'm quite proud that I've had fun with fashion and don't always look perfect. The only regret I have is when I look at something I wore when I was very young and it obviously looks like it belonged to someone else.

我过去常常在看照片的时候畏缩不前,但实际上我很自豪,因为我对时尚很感兴趣,而且我并不总是看起来很完美。我唯一的遗憾是,当我看着我小时候穿的某件衣服时,它看起来很明显像是属于别人的。

I hate the terminology of "costume" because my clothes are not costumes at all. I think they're high fashion, avant-garde, and more couture, definitely, and yes, some of my pieces are not particularly wearable, but I wouldn't say they're costumes, I'd say they're more couture.

我讨厌“服装”这个术语,因为我的衣服根本不是服装。我认为它们是高级时装,前卫,更高级定制,当然,是的,我的一些作品不是特别适合穿,但我不会说它们是服装,我会说它们更高级定制。

I had never been to a fashion show before going to the Burberry show last month. It was an extraordinary spectacle. I was incredibly green and had no idea what an undertaking it is. I also have a new respect for models because they are so close to the front row and must be so self-conscious.

在上个月参加巴宝莉时装秀之前,我从未参加过时装秀。这是一个非凡的场面。我非常环保,不知道这是什么事业。我对模特也有了新的敬意,因为她们离前排太近了,一定很有自我意识。

Academics, who work for long periods in a self-directed fashion, may be especially prone to putting things off: surveys suggest that the vast majority of college students procrastinate, and articles in the literature of procrastination often allude to the author's own problems with finishing the piece.

长期以自我导向方式工作的学者们,可能尤其容易拖延:调查显示,绝大多数大学生都在拖延,有关拖延症的文献中的文章常常暗指作者自己在完成作品时遇到的问题。

But as an adult working in the fashion industry, I struggle with materialism. And I'm one of the least materialistic people that exist, because material possessions don't mean much to me. They're beautiful, I enjoy them, they can enhance your life to a certain degree, but they're ultimately not important.

但作为一个在时尚行业工作的成年人,我与物质主义作斗争。我是最不崇尚物质的人之一,因为物质财富对我来说并不重要。它们很漂亮,我喜欢它们,它们可以在一定程度上提升你的生活,但它们最终并不重要。
