1、翻了个译，MTI专业辅导Hi. My name is Cameron Russell,and for the last little while, Ive been a model.Actually, for 10 years.And I feel liketheres an uncomfortable tension in the room right nowbecause I should not have worn this dress.So luckily, I brought an outfit change.This is the first outfit change on th
2、e TED stage,so you guys are pretty lucky to witness it, I think.If some of the women were really horrified when I came out,you dont have to tell me now, but Ill find out later on Twitter.Id also note that Im quite privilegedto be able to transform what you think of mein a very brief 10 seconds.Not e
3、verybody gets to do that.These heels are very uncomfortable, so good thing I wasnt going to wear them.The worst part is putting this sweater over my head,because thats when youll all laugh at me,so dont do anything while its over my head.All right.So, why did I do that?That was awkward.Well -Hopeful
4、ly not as awkward as that picture.Image is powerful,but also, image is superficial.I just totally transformed what you thought of me, in six seconds.And in this picture,I had actually never had a boyfriend in real life.I was totally uncomfortable,and the photographer was telling me to arch my backan
5、d put my hand in that guys hair.And of course, barring surgery,or the fake tan that I got two days ago for work,theres very little that we can do to transform how we look,and how we look, though it is superficial and immutable,has a huge impact on our lives.So today, for me, being fearless means bei
6、ng honest.And I am on this stage because I am a model.I am on this stage because I am a pretty, white woman,and in my industry, we call that a sexy girl.Im going to answer the questions that people always ask me,but with an honest twist.So the first question is, how do you become a model?I always ju
7、st say, Oh, I was scouted,but that means nothing.The real way that I became a modelis I won a genetic lottery, and I am the recipient of a legacy,and maybe youre wondering what is a legacy.Well, for the past few centurieswe have defined beauty not just as health and youthand symmetry that were biolo
8、gically programmed to admire,but also as tall, slender figures,and femininity and white skin.And this is a legacy that was built for me,and its a legacy that Ive been cashing out on.And I know there are people in the audiencewho are skeptical at this point,and maybe there are some fashionistas who a
9、re like,Wait. Naomi. Tyra. Joan Smalls. Liu Wen.And first, I commend you on your model knowledge. Very impressive.But unfortunately, I have to inform you that in 2007,a very inspired NYU Ph.D. studentcounted all the models on the runway, every single one that was hired,and of the 677 models that wer
10、e hired,only 27, or less than four percent, were non-white.The next question people always ask is,Can I be a model when I grow up?And the first answer is, I dont know, they dont put me in charge of that.But the second answer,and what I really want to say to these little girls is,Why? You know? You c
11、an be anything.You could be the President of the United States,or the inventor of the next Internet,or a ninja cardiothoracic surgeon poet,which would be awesome, because youd be the first one.If, after this amazing list, they still are like,No, no, Cameron, I want to be a model,well, then I say, Be
12、 my boss.Because Im not in charge of anything,and you could be the editor in chief of American Vogueor the CEO of H&M, or the next Steven Meisel.Saying that you want to be a model when you grow upis akin to saying that you want to win the Powerball when you grow up.Its out of your control, and its a
13、wesome,and its not a career path.I will demonstrate for you now 10 years of accumulated model knowledge,because unlike cardiothoracic surgeons,it can just be distilled right now.So, if the photographer is right there,the light is right there, like a nice HMI,and the client says, We want a walking sh
14、ot,this leg goes first, nice and long, this arm goes back, this arm goes forward,the head is at three quarters, and you just go back and forth,just do that, and then you look back at your imaginary friends,300, 400, 500 times.It will look something like this.Hopefully less awkward than that one in t
15、he middle.That was - I dont know what happened there.Unfortunately, after youve gone to school,and you have a rsum and youve done a few jobs,you cant say anything anymore,so if you say you want to be the President of the United States,but your rsum reads, Underwear Model: 10 years,people give you a funny look.翻了个译，MTI专业辅导
