12990

3474

现在，我在这个房间内感到一种

00:32

in the room房间 right now

5

16464

1530

令人不适的紧张感

00:33

because I should not have worn磨损的 this dress连衣裙. (Laughter笑声)

6

17994

2998

因为我不该穿这条裙子（笑声）

00:36

So luckily幸 I brought带 an outfit配备 change更改.

7

20992

3329

幸亏我带了另外一套

00:40

This is the first outfit配备 change更改 on the TEDTED stage阶段,

8

24321

3649

这是TED讲台上第一次现场换装

00:43

so you guys are pretty漂亮 lucky幸运 to witness见证 it, I think.

3046

所以我觉得今天在场的人都很幸运啊，

00:46

If some of the women妇女 were really horrified吓坏了 when I came来了 out,

10

31016

2941

如果有些女士对的我出现感到惊恐

00:49

you don't have to tell me now, but I'll find out later后来 on Twitter推特.

11

33957

2702

不必现在告诉我。但我马上就会在twitter上知道的

00:52

(Laughter笑声)

12

36659

5656

（笑声）

00:58

I'd also也 note注意 that I'm quite相当 privileged特权

13

42315

1821

我也想告诉各位我有幸

01:00

to be able能够 to transform转变 what you think of me

14

44136

3139

能够在10秒内

01:03

in a very brief简要 10 seconds秒.

15

47275

2663

改变我在你们心中的形象

01:05

Not everybody每个人 gets得到 to do that.

16

49938

3462

这不是所有人都能做得到的

01:09

These heels脚跟 are very uncomfortable不舒服,

17

53400

1645

这双高跟鞋很不舒服

01:10

so good thing I wasn't不 going to wear穿 them.

18

55045

4194

而好消息是我不打算穿他们

01:15

The worst最差 part部分 is putting把 this sweater毛线衣 over my head头,

19

59239

1705

最坏的消息是我要把这件毛衣从头上套进去

01:16

because that's when you'll你会 all laugh笑 at me,

20

60944

1320

因为这时候你们会笑我

01:18

so don't do anything while it's over my head头.

21

62264

4966

所以当我穿衣服的时候,（你们）什么都不要做

01:23

All right.

22

67230

3413

可以了

01:26

So why did I do that?

23

70643

3071

那么，我为什么做这个呢（现场换装）？

01:29

That was awkward尴尬.

24

73714

2598

这很怪

01:32

Well,

25

76312

4109

呃

01:36

hopefully希望 not as awkward尴尬 as that picture图片.

26

80421

4418

希望不会像图片上这样怪

01:40

Image图片 is powerful强大,

27

84839

3249

图象是强大的

01:43

but also也 image图片 is superficial浅.

28

88088

4948

但同时又是表面化的

01:48

I just totally完全 transformed改造 what you thought of me in six六 seconds秒.

29

93036

4443

我只是在6秒内就彻底改变了自己在你们心中的形象

01:53

And in this picture图片,

30

97479

1839

在这张照片里

01:55

I had actually其实 never had a boyfriend男朋友 in real真实 life.

31

99318

2744

我事实上在现实生活中根本没有男朋友

01:57

I was totally完全 uncomfortable不舒服, and the photographer摄影师

32

102062

2512

当摄影师

02:00

was telling告诉 me to arch拱 my back and put my hand手

33

104574

2421

要我弓起背，摸那个男士的头发时

02:02

in that guy's家伙 hair头发.

34

106995

4018

我非常不自在

02:06

And of course课程, barring禁止 surgery手术,

35

111013

2000

确定的是，除了手术

02:08

or the fake假 tan黄褐色 that I got two days天 ago前 for work,

36

113013

3441

或像两天前我为了工作做的棕褐色(皮肤)

02:12

there's very little that we can do to transform转变 how we look,

37

116454

3761

我们基本上是没法改变外表的

02:16

and how we look, though虽然 it is superficial浅 and immutable一成不变,

38

120215

3456

我们的外表，虽然是表面化的，固定的

02:19

has a huge巨大 impact碰撞 on our lives生活.

39

123671

4363

还是极大地影响着我们的生活

02:23

So today今天, for me, being存在 fearless不怕 means手段 being存在 honest诚实.

40

128034

4628

所以今天，对我来说，变的无惧就意味着要诚实

02:28

And I am on this stage阶段 because I am a model模型.

41

132662

2885

今天我站在这里是因为我是个模特

02:31

I am on this stage阶段 because I am a pretty漂亮, white白色 woman女人,

42

135547

3727

我在这个舞台上是因为我是个漂亮的白种女性

02:35

and in my industry行业 we call that a sexy性感的 girl女孩.

43

139274

2765

在我们业内我们称此为“性感女孩”

02:37

And I'm going to answer回答 the questions问题 that people always ask问 me,

44

142039

2514

我要回答下人们常常问我的那些问题

02:40

but with an honest诚实 twist捻.

45

144553

1679

(而且是)以一种诚实的方式

02:42

So the first question题 is, how do you become成为 a model模型?

46

146232

2902

第一个问题是，你是怎么成为模特的？

02:45

And I always just say, "Oh, I was scouted球探," but that means手段 nothing.

47

149134

2802

我总是说：“我是被发现的”，但这其实什么也说明不了

02:47

The real真实 way that I became成为 a model模型 is

48

151936

3518

我成为模特的真正的原因是

02:51

I won韩元 a genetic遗传 lottery抽奖, and I am the recipient接受者 of a legacy遗产,

49

155454

3487

我拥有极佳的基因，我是遗产的接受者

02:54

and maybe you're wondering想知道 what is a legacy遗产.

50

158941

1863

你可能在疑问什么是遗产.

02:56

Well, for the past过去 few少数 centuries百年

51

160804

3003

呃，在过去的几个世纪里

02:59

we have defined定义 beauty美女 not just as health健康 and youth青年

52

163807

5518

我们定义里的美不仅仅只包括健康，年轻

03:05

and symmetry对称 that we're biologically生物 programmed程序 to admire欣赏,

53

169325

3786

和身材匀称这些我们出于生物本能去赞美的元素

03:09

but also也 as tall高, slender苗条 figures人物,

54

173111

3536

还包括高挑，苗条的体型，

03:12

and femininity女人味 and white白色 skin皮肤.

55

176647

3247

富有女性气质，白色皮肤这些特征。

03:15

And this is a legacy遗产 that was built内置 for me,

56

179894

1772

这就是我的遗产，

03:17

and it's a legacy遗产 that I've been cashing兑现 out on.

57

181666

2774

这就是我一直在兑现的遗产，

03:20

And I know there are people in the audience听众

58

184440

2054

我知道你们中有些人

03:22

who are skeptical怀疑的 at this point点,

59

186494

1716

可能对这个观点存疑

03:24

and maybe there are some fashionistas时尚达人 who are, like,

60

188210

1592

你们可能会举出一些时尚圈人物，例如

03:25

"Wait. Naomi娜奥米. Tyra泰拉. Joan琼 Smalls小商品. Liu刘 Wen温家宝."

61

189802

3452

Naomi, Tyra, Joan Smalls和Liu Wen
(前三位为黑人模特，第四位为中国模特)

03:29

And first, I commend表彰 you on your model模型 knowledge知识. Very impressive有声有色.

62

193254

2592

首先，我要表扬下你们对于模特界的了解令人印象深刻

03:31

(Laughter笑声)

63

195846

2231

（笑声）

03:33

But unfortunately不幸 I have to inform通知 you that in 2007,

64

198077

3553

但不幸的是，我得告诉你们，在2007年时

03:37

a very inspired启发 NYUNYU Ph博士.D. student学生 counted计

65

201630

2510

一名纽约大学的博士在启发之下

03:40

all the models楷模 on the runway跑道, every一切 single单 one that was hired雇用,

66

204140

3626

统计了所有在职模特的人数

03:43

and of the 677 models楷模 that were hired雇用,

67

207766

3128

在677名正式受雇模特中

03:46

only 27, or less减 than four四 percent百分, were non-white非白人.

68

210894

4743

只有27名，也就是不到百分之四，是非白种人

03:51

The next下一个 question题 people always ask问 me is,

69

215637

1551

下一个人们常问我的问题是

03:53

"Can I be a model模型 when I grow增长 up?"

70

217188

1955

“我长大了能当模特吗？”

03:55

And the first answer回答 is, "I don't know, they don't put me in charge收费 of that."

71

219143

3404

我的第一个答案是：“我也不知道，因为他们没让我来掌管这件事”

03:58

But the second第二 answer回答, and what I really want to say to these little girls女孩 is, "Why?

72

222547

5198

但第二个答案，也是我想对问问题的那些小姑娘说的是“为什么？”

04:03

You know? You can be anything.

73

227745

1365

你知道吗？你可以选择任何的职业。

04:05

You could be the President主席 of the United联合的 States状态,

74

229110

1651

你可以成为美国总统

04:06

or the inventor发明者 of the next下一个 Internet互联网,

75

230761

1446

或是下一代互联网的发明者

04:08

or a ninja忍者 cardio-thoracic心胸 surgeon外科医生 poet诗人,

76

232207

2956

或是个忍者般的心胸外科诗人,

04:11

which哪一个 would be awesome真棒, because you'd你 be the first one."

77

235163

2644

--这个不错，因为你会是第一个

04:13

(Laughter笑声)

78

237807

2233

（笑声）

04:15

If, after this amazing惊人 list名单, they still are like,

79

240040

2102

如果，听完这些她们还是说

04:18

"No, no, Cameron卡梅伦, I want to be a model模型,"

80

242142

1507

“不，不，Cameron，我想当模特”

04:19

well then I say, "Be my boss老板."

81

243649

2316

我会说：“当我的老板吧”

04:21

Because I'm not in charge收费 of anything,

82

245965

1266

因为我不能决定任何事

04:23

and you could be the editor编辑 in chief首席 of American美国 Vogue时尚

83

247231

2176

你可以成为美国Vogue杂志的主编

04:25

or the CEOCEO of H&M, or the next下一个 Steven史蒂芬 Meisel迈泽尔.

84

249407

3624

或是H&M的首席执行官，或下一个Steven Meisel(著名时尚摄影师)

04:28

Saying话 that you want to be a model模型 when you grow增长 up

85

253031

1921

说你长大后想当模特

04:30

is akin类似的 to saying话 that you want to win赢得 the Powerball强力球 when you grow增长 up.

86

254952

3194

就像你说你长大后想赢彩票一样

04:34

It's out of your control控制, and it's awesome真棒,

87

258146

4092

（能不能成为模特）不在你的掌控范围之内。当模特很棒

04:38

and it's not a career事业 path路径.

88

262238

1585

但它不是一个可规划的行业

04:39

I will demonstrate演示 for you now 10 years年份 of accumulated积累 model模型 knowledge知识,

89

263823

4484

我将为大家展示我模特从业十年的一些经验

04:44

because unlike不像 cardio-thoracic心胸 surgeons外科医生,

90

268307

1766

因为不像一个忍者般的心胸科诗人

04:45

it can just be distilled蒸馏 right into -- right now.

91

270073

2889

它只能立足当下

04:48

So if the photographer摄影师 is right there

92

272962

3186

所以如果摄影师就在这里

04:52

and the light光 is right there, like a nice不错 HMIHMI,

93

276148

1897

灯光就在这里--比如漂亮的水银灯

04:53

and the client客户 says说, "Cameron卡梅伦, we want a walking步行 shot射击,"

94

278045

1622

客户说：“Cameron,我想要一张走路时的快门照”

04:55

well then this leg腿 goes去 first, nice不错 and long, this arm臂 goes去 back, this arm臂 goes去 forward前锋,

95

279667

3504

这条修长的美腿先迈步，这条手臂放在后面，这条手臂放前面

04:59

the head头 is at three三 quarters住处, and you just go back and forth向前,

96

283171

2593

露出四分之三侧脸，来来回回，

05:01

just do that, and then you look back at your imaginary假想 friends朋友,

97

285764

2390

就这样，然后回头看你臆想中的朋友

05:04

300, 400, 500 times时. (Laughter笑声)

98

288154

5265

300，400，500次（笑声）

05:09

It will look something like this. (Laughter笑声)

99

293419

4123

这看上去就像这样（笑声）

05:13

Hopefully希望 less减 awkward尴尬 than that one in the middle中间.

100

297542

2211

希望不像中间那张那么怪

05:15

That was, I don't know what happened发生 there.

101

299753

3215

我不知道那张是怎么回事儿

05:18

Unfortunately不幸 after you've gone走了 to school学校,

102

302968

1892

现实是，当你毕业后

05:20

and you have a résum和é and you've doneDONE a few少数 jobs工作,

103

304860

1272

有了简历，做过了几份工作

05:22

you can't say anything anymore再,

104

306132

1554

你就不能再说其它的了

05:23

so if you say you want to be the President主席 of the United联合的 States状态,

105

307686

3742

所以如果你说你想成为美国总统

05:27

but your résum和é reads读, "Underwear内衣 Model模型: 10 years年份,"

106

311428

2200

但你的简历上写着：有十年工作经验的内衣模特

05:29

people give you a funny滑稽 look.

107

313628

1792

人们会笑着看你

05:31

The next下一个 question题 people always ask问 me is, "Do they retouch润饰 all the photos相片?"

108

315420

2692

下一个人们常问的问题是：“他们会修照片吗？”

05:34

And yeah, they pretty漂亮 much retouch润饰 all the photos相片,

109

318112

1621

是的，他们会修几乎所有照片

05:35

but that is only a small小 component零件 of what's happening事件.

110

319733

3950

但这只是工作的一小部分

05:39

This picture图片 is the very first picture图片 that I ever took拿,

111

323683

2764

这是我第一张模特照片

05:42

and it's also也 the very first time that I had worn磨损的 a bikini比基尼泳装,

112

326447

2796

也是我第一次穿比基尼

05:45

and I didn't even have my period期 yet然而.

113

329243

1842

我基至还没有过月经

05:46

I know we're getting得到 personal个人, but

114

331085

1929

我知道这有点私人，但

05:48

I was a young年轻 girl女孩.

115

333014

1521

那时我还很年轻

05:50

This is what I looked看着 like with my grandma奶奶 just a few少数 months个月 earlier前.

116

334535

3865

这是那张照片几个月前我跟祖母一起拍的照片

05:54

Here's这里的 me on the same相同 day as this shoot射击.

117

338400

2731

这是拍照片当天

05:57

My friend朋友 got to come with me.

118

341131

1366

我朋友跟我在一起

05:58

Here's这里的 me at a slumber睡眠 party派对 a few少数 days天 before I shot射击 French法国 Vogue时尚.

119

342497

3969

这是我拍法国Vogue杂志前几天前在睡衣party上拍的照片

06:02

Here's这里的 me on the soccer足球 team球队 and in V Magazine杂志.

120

346466

4321

这是我在足球队和V杂志的照片

06:06

And here's这里的 me today今天.

121

350787

1460

这是现在的我

06:08

And I hope希望 what you're seeing眼看 is that

122

352247

2060

我希望你们明白的是

06:10

these pictures图片 are not pictures图片 of me.

123

354307

1959

这些不是我自己的照片

06:12

They are constructions建设,

124

356266

1677

而是

06:13

and they are constructions建设 by a group组 of professionals专业人士,

125

357943

2928

由一群专业人士制出的图象,

06:16

by hairstylists发型师 and makeup化妆 artists艺术家 and photographers摄影师 and stylists造型师

126

360871

2976

(他们是)发型师，化装师，摄影师，造型师

06:19

and all of their其 assistants助理 and pre-production前期制作 and post-production后期制作,

127

363847

2375

以及他们的助理，还有前期制作，后期制作

06:22

and they build建立 this. That's not me.

128

366222

2984

他们制造出了这些图象，而不是我

06:25

Okay, so the next下一个 question题 people always ask问 me is,

129

369206

2141

下一个问题是

06:27

"Do you get free自由 stuff东东?"

130

371347

2661

“你能得到免费的东西吗？”

06:29

I do have too many许多 8-inch-英寸 heels脚跟 which哪一个 I never get to wear穿,

131

374008

3437

我确实有太多

06:33

except除 for earlier前,

132

377445

1619

从没机会穿的8英寸高跟鞋，

06:34

but the free自由 stuff东东 that I get

133

379064

2048

但是免费的东西

06:37

is the free自由 stuff东东 that I get in real真实 life, and that's what we don't like to talk about.

134

381112

3370

却是我在现实生活中得到的。而这恰恰是我们不愿意谈的

06:40

I grew成长 up in Cambridge剑桥,

135

384482

1612

我在剑桥市长大

06:41

and one time I went去 into a store商店 and I forgot忘记 my money钱

136

386094

2365

有一次我走进一家商店却忘了带钱

06:44

and they gave给 me the dress连衣裙 for free自由.

137

388459

2363

他们送了我一条裙子

06:46

When I was a teenager青少年, I was driving主动 with my friend朋友

138

390822

2520

十几岁时，我跟朋友一起开车

06:49

who was an awful可怕 driver司机 and she ran跑 a red红 and of course课程,

139

393342

1865

她是个糟糕的司机，闯了红灯

06:51

we got pulled拉 over,

140

395207

2039

我们被停车

06:53

and all it took拿 was a "Sorry, officer官,"

141

397246

2286

我只说了句：“长官抱歉”

06:55

and we were on our way.

142

399532

2386

我们就继续上路了

06:57

And I got these free自由 things because of how I look,

143

401918

3651

我得到这些是因为我的外表

07:01

not who I am, and there are people paying付款 a cost成本

144

405569

2819

而不是我是身份。有些人为了他们的外表

07:04

for how they look and not who they are.

145

408388

2242

而不是身份付出了代价。

07:06

I live生活 in New新 York纽约, and last year年,

146

410630

1586

我住在纽约，去年

07:08

of the 140,000 teenagers青少年 that were stopped停止 and frisked搜身,

147

412216

3861

有14万青年被停车搜身

07:11

86 percent百分 of them were black黑色 and Latino拉丁美洲人,

148

416077

2184

他们中百分之86是黑人和拉美人

07:14

and most最 of them were young年轻 men男人.

149

418261

1855

大多数是年轻的男孩子

07:16

And there are only 177,000 young年轻 black黑色 and Latino拉丁美洲人 men男人 in New新 York纽约,

150

420116

4486

而在纽约年轻黑人和拉美男性总数只有17万7千

07:20

so for them, it's not a question题 of, "Will I get stopped停止?"

151

424602

2701

所以，对他们来说，问题不是：“我会被停车吗”

07:23

but "How many许多 times时 will I get stopped停止? When will I get stopped停止?"

152

427303

2895

而是“我要被停几次？我什么时候会被停？“

07:26

When I was researching研究 this talk,

153

430198

1426

我在为这次演讲做调查时

07:27

I found发现 out that of the 13-year-old-岁 girls女孩 in the United联合的 States状态,

154

431624

3574

发现在美国13岁女孩儿群体中

07:31

53 percent百分 don't like their其 bodies身体,

155

435198

2688

百分之53不喜欢她们的身体

07:33

and that number数 goes去 to 78 percent百分 by the time that they're 17.

156

437886

3850

到了17岁，这一比例上升至百分之78。

07:37

So the last question题 people ask问 me is,

157

441736

3382

那么最后一个问题是

07:41

"What is it like to be a model模型?"

158

445118

1016

”当模特是什么感觉？“

07:42

And I think the answer回答 that they're looking for is,

159

446134

2800

我猜他们期待的答案是

07:44

"If you are a little bit位 skinnier瘦 and you have shinier更亮泽 hair头发,

160

448934

2944

”如果你再瘦一点儿，你的头发再有光泽一些

07:47

you will be so happy快乐 and fabulous极好."

161

451878

2797

你就会很开心，很难以置信“

07:50

And when we're backstage后台, we give an answer回答

162

454675

2115

当在后台时,我们会给出一个

07:52

that maybe makes品牌 it seem似乎 like that.

163

456790

1435

像这样的答案。

07:54

We say, "It's really amazing惊人 to travel旅行,

164

458225

2597

我们说”能到处旅行

07:56

and it's amazing惊人 to get to work with creative创作的, inspired启发, passionate多情 people."

165

460822

4087

和有创造力的，热情的，灵感不断的人一起工作真的很棒”

08:00

And those things are true真正, but they're only one half半 of the story故事,

166

464909

3046

这不假，但这只是事实的一半

08:03

because the thing that we never say on camera相机,

167

467955

2723

因为我们永远不会在镜头前说的是,

08:06

that I have never said on camera相机,

168

470678

2096

我永远不会说的是,

08:08

is, "I am insecure不安全."

169

472774

2384

“我没有安全感“

08:11

And I'm insecure不安全 because I have to think about

170

475158

1454

因为我必须每天都要担心

08:12

what I look like every一切 day.

171

476612

2925

我看上去怎么样

08:15

And if you ever are wondering想知道,

172

479537

4059

如果你曾经也想过

08:19

"If I have thinner更薄 thighs大腿 and shinier更亮泽 hair头发, will I be happier幸福?"

173

483596

3954

如果我的大腿更瘦，头发更好，我会更开心吗？

08:23

you just need to meet遇到 a group组 of models楷模,

174

487550

1631

你只要去看看模特就知道了

08:25

because they have the thinnest最薄 thighs大腿 and the shiniest欧联 hair头发 and the coolest最酷 clothes衣服,

175

489181

2633

因为她们有最瘦的大腿，最漂亮的头发，最酷的衣服

08:27

and they're the most最 physically物理 insecure不安全 women妇女 probably大概 on the planet行星.

176

491814

4982

而她们却可能是世界上最没有身理安全感的女人

08:32

So when I was writing写作 this talk, I found发现 it very difficult难

177

496796

2258

所以当我为这次演讲做准备时时，发现

08:34

to strike罢工 an honest诚实 balance平衡, because on the one hand手,

178

499054

2893

很难为诚实找到一个平衡点。因为一方面

08:37

I felt毡 very uncomfortable不舒服 to come out here and say,

179

501947

2960

如果我站在这儿，说

08:40

"Look I've received收到 all these benefits好处 from a deck甲板 stacked堆叠 in my favor偏爱,"

180

504907

3567

”看，我凭着天生的优势得到了这么多东西，”心里会不舒服

08:44

and it also也 felt毡 really uncomfortable不舒服 to follow跟随 that up with,

181

508474

3148

可是如果这句话接着

08:47

"and it doesn't always make me happy快乐."

182

511622

2789

“可是这些都不能让我开心”也很不自在

08:50

But mostly大多 it was difficult难 to unpack解压 a legacy遗产

183

514411

3515

但最难的是去展现

08:53

of gender性别 and racial种族 oppression压迫

184

517926

2384

性别和种族歧视的职业传统

08:56

when I am one of the biggest最大 beneficiaries受益者.

185

520310

2888

因为我自己本身是最大的受益者

08:59

But I'm also也 happy快乐 and honored荣幸 to be up here

186

523198

3105

但同时我又很开心并受尊重的站在这里

09:02

and I think that it's great that I got to come

187

526303

3236

趁着我还年轻，而不是已经工作了10，20或30年

09:05

before 10 or 20 or 30 years年份 had passed通过 and I'd had more agency机构 in my career事业,

188

529539

3697

和模特行业间有越来越多的阻隔（不能获得最直接的感觉）

09:09

because maybe then I wouldn't不会 tell the story故事 of how I got my first job工作,

189

533236

3498

因为可能到那时我就不会讲我怎样得到第一份工作

09:12

or maybe I wouldn't不会 tell the story故事 of how I paid支付 for college学院,

190

536734

2438

怎样付大学学费

09:15

which哪一个 seems似乎 so important重要 right now.

191

539172

2882

这些现在看来是如此重要的东西

09:17

If there's a takeaway带走 to this talk, I hope希望 it's that

192

542054

2347

如果这次演讲能使你有所受益，我希望

09:20

we all feel more comfortable自在 acknowledging承认

193

544401

3222

是我们都能欣然接受

09:23

the power功率 of image图片 in our perceived感知 successes成功

194

547623

3967

图象的力量带来的我们所理解的成功

09:27

and our perceived感知 failures故障.

195

551590

1900

和我们所理解的失败

09:29

Thank you. (Applause掌声)

196

553490

3997

谢谢（掌声）
