when did you realize that you wanted to be in the fashion industry?
你是从何时开始意识到你想要进入时尚界发展的?
laura buendia, reedley, calif.i didn want to be a fashion designer, and for a good half of my career i didn like it.i always wanted to do other things.i always wanted to read and do intellectual things.i started to do it to help my [then] partner malcolm mclaren, because i could always make was only about 15 years ago that my husband, whom i work with now and who designs as much as i do, said to me, “you have to like ise, you wouldn be doing it.”
我从来不想成为一个时装设计师,在我职业生涯的一半时间里我都觉得自己不喜欢这个工作。我一直想做更有意义的事,像是阅读什么的。我一开始帮助我的合作人malcolm mclaren是因为我觉得我可以创造一些东西。直到前,我的丈夫对我说:你肯定是喜欢这个行业的,不然你不会做这么久。
what is the greatest fashion faux pas?
在时尚界,最丢脸的事是什么?
andrew , los angeles
its to be a follower of you wear clothes that don suit you, you e a fashion have to wear clothes that make you look better.那应该是“做一个时尚的跟风者”。如果你穿了不适合自己的衣服,那你就只是个时尚的奴隶。你必须要选择那些让你看起来更美的衣服。
how do you address the issue that in todays society so many clothes are tailored to fit women who wear a size zero and not a size 12?
你怎么看待当今社会中大部分的衣服都是为瘦女人设计的,而胖姑娘却买不到衣服穿?
lei lani de santiago, austin, texas
if you e too big to fit into fashion, then you just have to do your own fashion.如果对于时尚来说,你太胖,你就必须创造一套自己的流行风格。
have you ever had to forfeit any of your design ideals to stay in business?
你是否曾经为了销售额而让自己的设计妥协?
lea fast, vienna
im very lucky, and i haven .i own my own company, so ive never had businessmen telling me what to do or getting worried if something doesn sell.ive always had my own access to the public, because i started off making my clothes for a little shop and so ive always had people buying them.i could always sell a few, even if i couldn sell a lot, and somehow my business grew because people happened to like it.im in a fortunate position.很幸运的是,我没有。因为自己开公司,所以我从不需要听那个生意人来告诉我哪些衣服卖不掉(所以不准设计)。我有我自己亲近大众的方式。我一开始为一家小店设计服装,总是有人来买的。哪怕只能卖出一部分,而不是全部。人们喜欢我的衣服,所以我的生意也开始成长。我想我是一个幸运儿吧!
do you think you will ever collaborate with a fast-fashion company, or will your fashion remain a luxury?
你有没有想过和一个大众流行品牌合作,还是你希望你的服装保持奢侈品的定位?
shane tan, singapore
the time is one time i would have been prepared to do that, but my business has grown too big now, and its a full-time fact, i would like to do less work than i do at the , i always try to make my clothes affordable, and they actually are affordable.ive got this shop, worlds end, that has incredibly good prices.那个时机已经过了。曾记我有机会涉足那个行业,但我的企业成长太快,对我而言已经变成一份全职工作。我其实宁愿做比现在少一点的工作。但无论如何,我一直试着把我的服装保持在合理的价位,人们也的确买得起我的衣服。我有一间叫“世界尽头”的店,那里出售的衣服都非常便宜。
what is the biggest issue that fashion faces today?
时装行业目前面临的最大问题是什么?
mauricio tortosa, new york city
i just think people buy too many clothes, whether they love fashion or whether they just want 12 t shirts, all different colors, and 12 pairs of jeans all the look a mess because they e buying too many clothes;they e not you do buy something new, if youve got the money to afford it, then buy a beautiful piece.我只是觉得人们买了太多衣服了。不管他们是真的热爱时尚,还是他们只是想要12件相同款式、不同颜色的t恤、或是12条一模一样的牛仔裤。人们如果只是买很多衣服而不思考,他们会看来一团糟。如果你真心想买、也负担得起新单品,那至少买一件好看的!
词汇:用英语如何形容沉鱼落雁之姿容(组图)
时间:10月13日 作者:匿名 来源:转载
在中文里我们有太多太多的成语来形容美女,如沉鱼落雁,倾国倾城,闭月羞花等等.英语中用来形容女孩子的字眼也不少,但跟中文比起来就真的是小巫见大巫了,不过还是有些用来形容女人的说法值得学一学。
hey, look at the chick over there
, look at the chick over there。
看看在那边的女孩。
chick 这个字代表的就是女孩子,各位不要跟 chic(时尚) 这个字念起来就像是chicken 前面的几个音,所以蛮好认的.一般而言 chick 和 girl 是可以交互使用的,例如,她是个十三岁的女孩,就是 she is a thirteen-year-old chick。
she is gorgeous
is gorgeous!
她真是漂亮。
要懂得适时地称赞女孩实在是每个男士必修的功课.一句简单的 you are pretty!或是 you are sobeautiful us 和 pretty, beautiful 都是美丽的意思,但是程度上可能要比 pretty 和 beautiful 还要再来的高一些.所以下次再看到美女,别忘了说一声,you aregorgeous!说不定她就变成你的老婆了。
she is a babe
is a babe。
她是个美女。
这句话是用来形容美女的喔.要特别注意 babe 跟 baby 只有一字之差但却相差十万八千里.你千万不要说成 oh!ilike the baby, 那么你很有可能被人家当成恋童癖。
she turns me on
turns me on。
她让我眼睛为之一亮。
各位男生不知有没有这样的经验,一位长发美女从你眼前走过,你的目光便不自觉地投射在她身上,全身的血液也开始跟著沸腾起来。这要怎么用英文形容呢? 这就叫 she turns me on.这好像是说,她把你身上的电源都给打开了。
另外,turn-on 也可以当作名词用,它用来表示任何令你觉得很不错的人,事,物.另外你可以说 she issuch a turn-on.就是说她给我的感觉还蛮不错的。
5.i think she is a hottie。
她是个辣妹。
所谓的 hottie 就是指那种很辣的辣妹,穿著打扮各方面可能都非常地时髦.或是你也可以说,hot babe 或是hot chick.但有一点请注意,也许你在国内对一个女孩子说,你真是个辣妹啊!她可能还会蛮高兴的,但是在美国你不可以去跟女孩子说 you are a hottie.那么你可能换回一巴掌。
另外有一个字眼跟 hottie 很像,叫 hot tamale, tamale原是一种墨西哥食物,被引申成为辣妹的意思,不过这个用法比 hottie 更强烈,hottie 单指好看或漂亮的人,但 hottamale 则又加上了一些不能自己控制自己,有点疯狂的意思,所以也不要乱用喔。
you know jean? she is a cutie。
你认识 jean 吗? 她好可爱喔!
看来中外皆然,女孩子总是分为二种,漂亮美艳型和活泼可爱型.至于那种遵守交通规则型(obeying thetraffic rules 则不在本文讨论范围之内)漂亮的女生叫 hottie, 相对的,可爱的女生就叫 cutie。或是你单讲,she is so cute!也是不错的用法。
is well-developed。
她很丰满。
刚才说的是以脸蛋来分的,现在说的是以身材来分的.看到身材很好的女生,女生之间彼此会说 she iswell-developed 或是 well-endowed。

求职宝典:如何写出完美英文求职信
时间:09月22日 作者:匿名 来源:转载
知名国际企业录用人才的程序严格,大多数人都是以一份中英文简历开始塑造他在公司的形象。而对于大型跨国企业,英文简历(resume)的制作尤为重要,它可能决定求职者能否进入面试,能否有真正展露自己才华的机会。不了解有关的常识和程式,不花费相当的心思来展示,单凭纯正娴熟的英文功底,不容易获得单位的青睐。在一大堆错误百出、英文表达能力低劣或平庸,毫无针对性和创造性的简历中,你的那份若能让人眼睛一亮,成功的机会必将大大增加。
简历的目的不是获得工作,而是获得面试的机会;然后你才能获得工作。简历不该列举所有的技能,而是要用成绩来“引诱”面试官。英语简历并无固定不变的单一形式,应聘者完全可以根据个人的具体情况来确定采用何种形式,灵活设计。
求职信是简历很重要的一部分。一份好的求职信可以让你的简历增色不少,加大你成功的砝码。跟我来,教你打造一份精彩的求职信!
