ANTM-C12第八名英文訪談 - 超級名模生死鬥

小小翻譯了一下，有錯請指正及包含^^

: **************************************************
: 1. Why and how did you come to be cast on Top Model?
: My father registered me online for the casting call. So my dad opened the door
: and I took advantage of it and now you get to watch me on the show.

Q: 你為什麼及如何會來這次的ANTM?

A: 我爸幫我上網報名，幫我開啟了這扇機會之門，我也充分利用的這次的機會，
所以你就看到我在這裡啦

: 2. How did you like living in New York City and the Top Model house?
: It was very fun being there, I loved the environment but I don't think that I
: would want to live in New York permanently, but visiting there would not be a
: problem. New York is very different from Phoenix, I was there in Novemeber and
: December so it was colder than what I am used to. The house was extremely gorg
: eous and you can just tell that how much work was put into creating that house
: by the producers, staff and Tyra herself.

Q: 你對生活在紐約及Top Model house有什麼感覺?

A: 在這裡很有趣，我喜歡紐約，但我不會想要長久待在這裡。紐約跟鳳凰城兩個城市
非常的不一樣，我當時在紐約時是11月及12月，那時候的紐約比我平常(在鳳凰城)
對這個時節的感覺還要冷。Top Model房子很漂亮，你可以感受到ANTM的製作人、
工作人員及泰媽對這房子花了多少心力。

: 3. Overall did you think that you were portrayed fairly? Were you the only
: unhappy one?
: I would like to think that I was portrayed accurately. I didn't see any flaws i
: n the editing of the show. Everyone was definitely more enthusiastic and excite
: d about being there. I can see that the majority of the girls showed their exci
: tement on their faces, In my case, I wore my emotions on my [sleeve], about bei
: ng homesick. I think that is what defeated me in the end.

Q: 總體上妳覺得你有被公平的描述嗎? 只有你是唯一不開心的人嗎?

A: 我會說電視上演出的我是真實無誤的，我沒有看到任何剪接編輯上的缺陷。
大家對於能繼續待下去都是非常有活力熱情及興奮，我可以看到大部分的女孩的臉上
表現出興奮。我則是因為思鄉表現出了我的情感，我覺得這是為什麼我最後會失敗的
原因。

: 4. Were you surprised by your elimination, some were because you had been given
: so much positive feedback after you first call out?
: I wasn't completely blown away by it, you could kind of see it coming. It's one
: of those things where if you think you are going to get the boot, then you're
: gonna get the boot. Looking at how the judges were, I can see how they decided
: to choose me to go rather than Allison.

Q: 你會對於你的淘汰感到驚訝嗎?

A: 我沒有很震驚，你可以感覺到這將會發生。當你覺得你將要被淘汰的時候，妳就真的
離淘太不遠了。回想那些評審當時的舉動，我可以預測到他們會選擇Allison留下而不是
我。

: 5. How did you feel about your makeover? Are you planning on keeping the look o
: r changing it?
: At first I was really shocked by it, trying to figure out how I was going to wo
: rk with it. I always wanted blond hair, but I could never figure out how it wou
: ld fit with my skin tone. In the end I loved it, it was the most amazing color!
: I don't know if you guys know this but it was actually weave. I have taken the
: weave out but my hair has grown so when it is straight it looks like the weave
: to some degree, not as full though.

Q: 你對於你的大改造有什麼看法? 你會想繼續保持或改變嗎?

A: 剛開始我對此非常的厭惡，試圖想出個我可以接受的方法，但我一直無法感覺它能跟
我的膚色結合。最後我反倒喜歡上它了，這是個最棒的顏色。我不知道你們之不知道
但這是真的編織的，我曾經把這個編織拿掉，但我的新頭髮長出來了，所以就算是直的
看起來也是有點編織的感覺。 (大改照那集沒看..不確定翻的對不對)

: 6. I don't know if you are aware of this but you being cast on the show has spa
: rked controversy on a few internet boards, specifically that with your burns an
: d even your body type, pursuing modeling is not a sensible thing to do. Now tha
: t you have had some exposure to modeling, is there a place in the modeling worl
: d for Tahlia?
: I would like to think that there's a place for me in the industry, I guess I wi
: ll find out with whatever comes my way. My friends and family brought the discu
: ssion boards to my attention a couple of times and it actually made me laugh a
: little bit. One comment was that I look like a drag queen because you could see
: my muscles. Well I was the only consistent athlete on the show, so of course I
: would have muscles. Another remark was that I used my scars as a catalyst to g
: et into on the show - that is not at all true, just because I am not afraid to
: hide my scars I don't think that I should be penalize for that. Still people ar
: e entitled to their own opinions.

Q: 我不知道你知不知道這件事，但你的參與已經造成了網路上不小的討論，特別是你的
燒傷，甚至是你的身體形式..對於追求模特兒生涯可能不是個明智的選擇。現在妳對於
模特兒生涯有了一點曝光的機會，你覺得對於妳，模特兒業會有你的位置嗎?

A: 我想這個行業有我的位置，我會設法想怎樣的方式會對我最好。我的家人及朋友
好多次秀給我看網路上的討論區，我都會惠心一笑。有一個網友說我看起來像是一個女扮
男的角色(Drag queen: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_queen) 因為我的肌肉很
明顯，但那是因為我是這裡面為一有在持續運動的人，所以當然會有肌肉。另外有網友說
我用我傷疤當加分器已進入這個秀裡..那一點都不是真的，就因為我不會去隱藏我的傷疤
? 我不認為我這樣的舉止就應該被責難。但人們還是有他們自己意見的權力。

: 7. Who did you clash with most in the house?
: The funny thing is that with the whole thing it with me and Celia, well it wasn
: 't portrayed wrong, but at same time you may have gotten the impression that I
: clashed with Celia the most. Actually I had more disagreements and was more fru
: strated with Natalie than anyone else in house. Regarding Celia, Celia was the
: person who tried to make it like "hey you can talk to me whenever you want, bla
: h blah blah" trying to be the America's Next Top Model home mother, and then sh
: e took what we had to say - especially me, and dealt with it in a way that was
: not necessary.

Q: 你覺得誰跟你最有衝突?

A: 所有有關我跟Celia的事情，並不是說被描塑的不正確，而是就會給人有一種印象是
我跟Celia的衝突最大。事實上，我跟Natalie才有更多的歧見，她是我在間屋子裡面
的人相處下來覺得最洩氣的。至於Celia，她是一個會說"嘿! 你可以跟我說任何你想
說的話..blah blah blah"的人，想要變成那種America's Next Top Model home mother
，然後她就把我們說話，尤其是我說的話，以另一種不必要的方式處理。

: 8. Who were your closest friends in the house? Are you in touch with any of the
: girls?
: I would say that I made great acquaintances, it was kinda hard to make deep fri
: endships when you are competing. I became closer and closer to Aminat, Fo and
: Teyona and even Nijah when she was on. We did exchange emails and phone numbers
: , but I am not in touch with any of the girls at this time.

Q: 你在房屋裡最好的朋友是誰? 你有跟哪一個女孩繼續連絡嗎?

A: 我交到很多好朋友，但當你們彼此競爭的時候很難發展深刻的友情。我跟Aminat、Fo
跟Teyona，甚至是Nijah 都變得越來越親近。我們有交換EMAIL及電話，但我目前沒有
跟誰有連絡。

: 9. Now that you are out of the running, who are you rooting for to become Ameri
: ca's Next Top Model?
: I am rooting Fo. I am also rooting for Aminat and Teyona, but I would really li
: ke to see Fo take it.

Q: 現在你已經被淘汰了，你支持誰成為ANTM?

A: 我支持Fo。 我也支持Aminat 跟 Teyona，但我最希望 Fo 得到。

: 10. What was the most consistent positive and negative feedback that you got fr
: om the judges?
: I wouldn't consider it negative, but they said that my confidence level was too
: low for their liking. The positive feedback was that I had progressed and was
: getting better. Getting positive feedback was heartwarming and made me want to
: continue doing the show.

Q: 對於評審的評論，你覺得最正面及最負面的評價是?

A: 他們說我的自信心太低，但我不會覺得這是一個負面的評價。正面的評價是說我有
進步及想要變得更好。得到正面的評價讓我很窩心，會使得我想要繼續待在比賽裡。

: 11. You seem to feel insecure about your lack of modeling experience on the sho
: w, yet you had one of the higher call out averages, looking back do you think t
: hat you sold yourself short, especially after hearing the judges comments about
: you.
: I am so disappointed with how poorly I handled myself!! If I can go back and re
: do the show knowing what I know now and how I did, I would have shown my person
: ality a lot more. The way I acted on the show, is not the way I act in person.
: I hope that the agencies and the industry let me prove to them who I really am.
: So yes, I did sell myself short. I did go into this completely without experie
: nce and it was intimidating to be with girls who had done modeling type things
: like still photography and shows. I think intimidated is the better word.

Q: 你似乎對於你缺法模特兒經驗而有不安全感，但你曾經有一次拿過最高分，回首過去
，尤其是聽完評審的評論，你覺得妳沒有拿出實際上應該有的好表現嗎?

A: 我對於自己表現不佳非常失望!! 如果我可以回去再比一次，我會發揮出更多我的個性
。我在節目中的表現跟我私底下是不一樣的，我希望經紀公司及這行業能給我機會證明
給他們看我真正是什麼樣的人。所以是的，我沒有表現我應該表現的。我之前參與這個
秀的時候真的是完全沒有經驗，看到其他女孩都有過模特兒相關的經驗我有點嚇到。用"
嚇到"這個詞很貼切。

: 12. Then what would your friends say is your true personality?
: They would say that I am ridiculously funny, outspoken and open, especially whe
: n I am in my comfort zone... and very competitive! If you saw me on the volleyb
: all court, you would be like "Oh my God, who's that??!!"

Q: 那你朋友都怎麼說你是個什麼樣的人?

A: 他們說我是個非常逗趣，坦率及開放的人，而且非常具有競爭力! 如果你看我在排
球場上的表現，你會說"我的天阿! 她是誰??!!"

: 13. Which judge (or judges) do you think supported you the most?
: I think all of the judges were fair, I don't think there was any bias there. Ty
: ra was supportive, she stood up for me and continued to give me encouraging wor
: ds throughout. Nigel too, even though he's very blunt and honest, I felt suppor
: ted by him as well. You can learn from Nigel, during the photo shoot, I learned
: a lot about posing from him, he taught me a lot about my angles and how to kee
: p a photographer intrigued, because if the photographer is bored, then the work
: is not going to be good.

Q: 你覺得哪個評審最支持妳?

A: 我覺得所有評審都很公平，我不認為在這其中有偏見存在。泰媽很支持我，她為我說
話還一直鼓勵我。耐囧也是，即使他非常的直言不諱，我還是有感受到他的支持。你可
以從耐囧身上學習到，在拍照的時候，我學到很多有關姿勢擺色，他教我很多角度及
如何抓住攝影師的關注，因為如果攝影師覺得無聊，那照片的效果就不會太好。

: 14. What are your plans, do you plan to pursue modeling? What career path do yo
: u ultimately want to pursue in life?
: As far as modeling, I am really hoping that after doing this show and being see
: n by agencies that opportunities will come out of this. I thought it was pretty
: funny when Mr. Jay and Tyra mentioned something in the beginning about me poss
: ibly being a better actress than a model, well if that's the case, then let's t
: ry it! (laughs) I am hoping that an opportunity comes out of this, but I pretty
: open minded as well.

Q: 你有什麼計劃? 你會想要追求模特兒事業嗎? 你的生涯規劃?

A: 對於模特兒這行，我真的非常希望在經過這個節目後，會有經紀公司想要我。
當Mr. Jay跟泰媽在比賽中一開始提到我當表演這會比當模特兒好的事情，恩，如果那是
真的話，那我就來試試看吧!(笑) 如果有這個機會我完全會以開放的心態面對。

: 15. What was your favorite photo shoot? What was your least favorite photo shoo
: t?
: My least favorite photo shoot was the first one, childhood games. I think becau
: se that was the one the the one I struggled the most with. [How about the pose
: off?] Oh yeah, that sequin dress they put me in was so horrible! I was more foc
: used on trying to not fall of the stage than anything else.
: My favorite was the Ellis Island shoot, not because I was called first, but bec
: ause an event took place that was not aired that just melted my heart. It made
: everything that was so horrible just go away. [Can you share it] During the pho
: to shoot there were background models, the kids. One of the younger girls, her
: name was Tahlia, like mine, but I don't know if she spells it the same way. At
: first, she and I would giggle at each other. After the second or 3rd frame, she
: said in a sassy tone, "I am going to out-model you," and I was like, "OK, you'
: re on." So we go at it, photo after photo after photo, when Jay said it was our
: last photo, I got into my pose. Tahlia then jumps off the prop and comes over
: and pulls on my dress and says, "I have a question, can I hug you for this las
: t picture?" I was like, "Of course, Sweetie!" and I gave her the biggest hug an
: d I had the biggest smile on my face. It made everything that was so negative j
: ust go away!

Q: 你最喜歡的拍照是? 最不喜歡的?

A: 我最不喜歡的是第一個，孩童遊戲那一個。因為那是我覺得最難的。
而且它們給我穿的那個那個服裝非常恐怖! 我需要比較專注在不要從台上掉下來。
我最喜歡的就是在艾利斯島上拍的那次，不是因為我拿到第一，而是因為發生了
(沒有被撥出的)一些事情使我的心融化了。那使得所有感覺恐怖的東西一夕間消失。

Q: 你可以分享是什麼事嗎?

當照相時，後面有一些當背景的小孩。其中一個小女孩她的名子叫Tahlia，跟我一樣，
但我不知道是不是拼法也一樣。一開始，她跟我互相傻笑，在第二次還是第三次拍攝時
，她用了一種很活潑的口氣說"我要把妳比下去"，當時我就說"好阿，來阿" 所以我們
一起來，照片一張接一張，當Jay 說最後一張照片的時候，我掌握到了我的POSE，然後
Tahlia就到我身旁，拉著我的衣服說"我有問題，這張照片我可以抱妳嗎?"
我說"當然阿，甜心" 然後我就給她了一個大擁抱而且我臉上也掛了一個大微笑。
這件事使得先前所有負面的事情一掃而空!




: =========懶的翻譯分格線========
: 嗯 相信大家應該都眼花了吧~

: 目中跟C以及N有過爭執 不過 大家認為她的自怨自艾 有一部份原因是因為C跟她說"你有心

: 公平(也可能看錯啦~ 有錯請指正)
