I'm Jessi, and this is my suitcase.
0
0
3000
我是Jessi，這是我的旅行箱
00:18
But before I show you what I've got inside,
1
3000
3000
在我給各位看我裡頭裝什麼東西之前
00:21
I'm going to make a very public confession,
2
6000
3000
我要做一個非常公開的告白
00:24
and that is,
3
9000
2000
就是
00:26
I'm outfit-obsessed.
4
11000
2000
我對衣服極度迷戀
00:28
I love finding, wearing,
5
13000
2000
我超愛尋找它們並穿上它們
00:30
and more recently,
6
15000
2000
最近
00:32
photographing and blogging
7
17000
2000
還愛上拍衣服的照片，寫在部落格上
00:34
a different, colorful, crazy outfit
8
19000
2000
每一套與眾不同，色彩鮮豔，瘋狂的衣服
00:36
for every single occasion.
9
21000
3000
都有其最適切的場合
00:39
But I don't buy anything new.
10
24000
2000
但我不購買任何新品
00:41
I get all my clothes secondhand
11
26000
2000
我的衣服都是二手貨
00:43
from flea markets and thrift stores.
12
28000
3000
從跳蚤市場和二手店買的
00:46
Aww, thank you.
13
31000
2000
喔，謝謝你
00:49
Secondhand shopping
14
34000
2000
二手購物
00:51
allows me to reduce the impact
15
36000
2000
讓我減少
00:53
my wardrobe has on the environment
16
38000
2000
購買衣服對環境的影響
00:55
and on my wallet.
17
40000
2000
還有對荷包的影響
00:57
I get to meet all kinds of great people;
18
42000
2000
我能認識各種有趣的人
00:59
my dollars usually go to a good cause;
19
44000
3000
我的錢通常會捐款給慈善事業
01:02
I look pretty unique;
20
47000
2000
我的打扮自樹一格
01:04
and it makes shopping like my own personal treasure hunt.
21
49000
3000
同時購物變成我私人的尋寶之旅
01:07
I mean, what am I going to find today?
22
52000
2000
我會想，今天會找到什麼？
01:09
Is it going to be my size?
23
54000
2000
會剛好符合我的尺寸嗎？
01:11
Will I like the color?
24
56000
2000
會是我喜歡的顏色嗎？
01:13
Will it be under $20?
25
58000
3000
價錢會低於二十塊美金嗎？
01:16
If all the answers are yes,
26
61000
2000
如果答案都是「是」
01:18
I feel as though I've won.
27
63000
2000
我就覺得自己賺到了
01:20
I want to get back to my suitcase
28
65000
3000
回來談談我的旅行箱
01:23
and tell you what I packed
29
68000
2000
告訴你們，為了來TED
01:25
for this exciting week here at TED.
30
70000
2000
這興奮的一週，我都帶了些什麼
01:27
I mean, what does somebody with all these outfits bring with her?
31
72000
4000
這個有這麼多衣服的傢伙到底會帶些什麼？
01:31
So I'm going to show you exactly what I brought.
32
76000
3000
所以我要給你看到底我都帶了哪些衣物
01:34
I brought seven pairs of underpants
33
79000
3000
我帶了七件內褲
01:37
and that's it.
34
82000
3000
就這樣
01:40
Exactly one week's worth of undies
35
85000
3000
剛好夠穿一週的內褲
01:43
is all I put in my suitcase.
36
88000
2000
是我唯一放在旅行箱內的衣服
01:45
I was betting that I'd be able to find
37
90000
3000
我敢說我在棕櫚泉
01:48
everything else I could possible want to wear
38
93000
2000
能夠找到
01:50
once I got here to Palm Springs.
39
95000
3000
我需要的所有衣服
01:53
And since you don't know me
40
98000
2000
既然你們現在看到的我
01:55
as the woman walking around TED in her underwear --
41
100000
2000
不是一個只穿著內褲來參加TED的女人
01:57
(Laughter)
42
102000
2000
(笑聲)
01:59
that means I found a few things.
43
104000
2000
這就說明了我的確找到了一些東西
02:01
And I'd really love to show you my week's worth of outfits right now.
44
106000
3000
我現在真的很想讓你們看我這一週所穿的衣服
02:04
Does that sound good?
45
109000
2000
是不是聽起來很不錯？
02:06
(Applause)
46
111000
2000
(掌聲)
02:08
So as I do this,
47
113000
2000
當然同時
02:10
I'm also going to tell you a few of the life lessons
48
115000
3000
我還會和各位聊聊生活的經驗
02:13
that, believe it or not, I have picked up
49
118000
2000
無論你們是否相信，這些都是
02:15
in these adventures wearing nothing new.
50
120000
3000
我在這趟冒險中體悟出來的想法
02:18
So let's start with Sunday.
51
123000
2000
那我們就從星期日開始
02:20
I call this "Shiny Tiger."
52
125000
2000
這叫這套「閃亮老虎」
02:22
You do not have to spend a lot of money to look great.
53
127000
4000
你無須花大錢也能顯得氣質非凡
02:26
You can almost always look phenomenal for under $50.
54
131000
3000
甚至你不用花到五十塊美金，就能令人印象深刻
02:29
This whole outfit, including the jacket,
55
134000
2000
這整套衣服，包含外套
02:31
cost me $55,
56
136000
2000
用了我五十五塊美金
02:33
and it was the most expensive thing
57
138000
2000
而這是我這一週內
02:35
that I wore the entire week.
58
140000
2000
穿得最貴的衣服
02:37
Monday: Color is powerful.
59
142000
3000
星期一：色彩是強大的
02:40
It is almost physiologically impossible
60
145000
3000
在生理學上，穿上明亮的紅色褲子時
02:43
to be in a bad mood when you're wearing bright red pants.
61
148000
3000
幾乎不可能還覺得心情鬱悶
02:46
(Laughter)
62
151000
2000
(笑聲)
02:48
If you are happy,
63
153000
3000
如果你快樂
02:51
you are going to attract other happy people to you.
64
156000
3000
你也會吸引到其他快樂的人
02:54
Tuesday:
65
159000
2000
星期二：
02:56
Fitting in is way overrated.
66
161000
3000
主流被遠遠高估了
02:59
I've spent a whole lot of my life
67
164000
2000
我一生中花了很多時間
03:01
trying to be myself
68
166000
2000
想做自己
03:03
and at the same time fit in.
69
168000
2000
同時融入主流
03:05
Just be who you are.
70
170000
2000
就做你自己
03:07
If you are surrounding yourself with the right people,
71
172000
3000
如果你身邊有對的人
03:10
they will not only get it,
72
175000
2000
他們不僅能了解
03:12
they will appreciate it.
73
177000
2000
還會懂得欣賞
03:14
Wednesday:
74
179000
2000
星期三：
03:16
Embrace your inner child.
75
181000
2000
擁抱你的童心
03:18
Sometimes people tell me
76
183000
2000
有時候有人會告訴我
03:20
that I look like I'm playing dress-up,
77
185000
2000
說我像在玩打扮
03:22
or that I remind them of their seven-year-old.
78
187000
4000
或者我讓他們想起了他們七歲的孩子
03:26
I like to smile
79
191000
2000
我喜歡對他們微笑
03:28
and say, "Thank you."
80
193000
2000
然後說聲「謝謝」
03:30
Thursday:
81
195000
2000
星期四
03:32
Confidence is key.
82
197000
2000
自信是關鍵
03:34
If you think you look good in something,
83
199000
2000
如果你覺得你穿什麼衣服好看
03:36
you almost certainly do.
84
201000
2000
那你一定會穿得好看
03:38
And if you don't think you look good in something,
85
203000
2000
如果你不覺得你穿什麼好看
03:40
you're also probably right.
86
205000
2000
那你也可能是對的
03:42
I grew up with a mom who taught me this day-in and day-out.
87
207000
4000
從小到大，我媽媽每天都告訴我這一點
03:46
But it wasn't until I turned 30
88
211000
2000
但是我到了三十歲
03:48
that I really got what this meant.
89
213000
2000
才真正了解這意思
03:50
And I'm going to break it down for you for just a second.
90
215000
3000
我很快地為各位分析一下
03:53
If you believe you're a beautiful person
91
218000
3000
如果你相信你是個美麗的人
03:56
inside and out,
92
221000
3000
從裡到外
03:59
there is no look that you can't pull off.
93
224000
3000
那就沒有什麼衣服是你不能穿得好看的
04:02
So there is no excuse for any of us here in this audience.
94
227000
2000
所以在座各位你們不需要任何理由
04:04
We should be able to rock anything we want to rock.
95
229000
3000
我們想穿上什麼就穿上什麼
04:07
Thank you.
96
232000
2000
謝謝
04:09
(Applause)
97
234000
3000
(掌聲)
04:12
Friday: A universal truth -- five words for you:
98
237000
3000
星期五：一個普遍的真理 --送你們五字箴言
04:15
Gold sequins go with everything.
99
240000
5000
金亮片百搭
04:20
And finally, Saturday:
100
245000
3000
最後，星期六：
04:23
Developing your own unique personal style
101
248000
2000
展現獨特的個人風格
04:25
is a really great way to tell the world something about you
102
250000
3000
這是告訴別人你是誰的一個很好的方式
04:28
without having to say a word.
103
253000
2000
而且你一個字都不必說
04:30
It's been proven to me time and time again
104
255000
2000
這一點我已經證實過許多次
04:32
as people have walked up to me this week
105
257000
2000
這星期當人們一次次走向我
04:34
simply because of what I'm wearing,
106
259000
2000
只是因為我穿了什麼
04:36
and we've had great conversations.
107
261000
2000
我們有很愉快的交談
04:38
So obviously this is not all going to fit
108
263000
2000
當然這些衣服都不會放進
04:40
back in my tiny suitcase.
109
265000
2000
我的小旅行箱
04:42
So before I go home to Brooklyn,
110
267000
2000
所以在我回到布魯克林之前
04:44
I'm going to donate everything back.
111
269000
2000
我會把一切都捐回
04:46
Because the lesson I'm trying to learn myself this week
112
271000
3000
因為這個星期我在教導自己
04:49
is that it's okay to let go.
113
274000
3000
放手也是好的
04:52
I don't need to get emotionally attached to these things
114
277000
2000
我不需要眷戀東西
04:54
because around the corner,
115
279000
2000
因為在下一個角落
04:56
there is always going to be
116
281000
2000
永遠會有
04:58
another crazy, colorful,
117
283000
2000
另一套瘋狂的，五彩繽紛
05:00
shiny outfit
118
285000
2000
閃閃發光的衣服
05:02
just waiting for me,
119
287000
2000
在等著我
05:04
if I put a little love in my heart and look.
120
289000
2000
只要我帶著愛去找尋
05:06
Thank you very much.
121
291000
2000
非常謝謝
05:08
(Applause)
122
293000
3000
(掌聲)
05:11
Thank you.
123
296000
2000
謝謝
05:13
(Applause)
124
