C18亞軍賽後訪談 - 超級名模生死鬥

原文網址：http://tinyurl.com/73sbf68

亞軍訪談也出來囉，感覺Laura好像也不是個討人厭的人，只是想法不一樣而已，
個人其實不太反對她對性的看法 ；然後，Laura接下來又要參加實境節目了!!!

英文不好，有些句子看不懂就簡略翻了，翻錯再請各位幫忙修正喔：）

Q: What was your immediate reaction to Sophie’s win?

問：當宣布Sophie獲勝時，妳當下是什麼反應？

Laura: It was happiness. It really was. I think everybody can see it. It’s
kind of like when your sister and you are playing a sport or something, and she
beats you and you’re like, “Oh darn it but I’m happy for you, and I’m going
to beat you next time, don’t worry.” It was kind of like that. It was a cute
little rivalry that I loved.It didn’t really feel like I lost. It was strange.

Laura：我很開心，我說真的，每個觀眾都看得出來。這有點像妳和妳妹妹在參加運動競賽
之類的，然後當她贏時，妳只會覺得：「唉呀，該死的，不過還是為妳開心啦；別擔心，
下次我會打敗妳的。」，就有點像這樣。這是種我喜歡的可愛小競爭。我真的沒有輸的感
覺，這的確有點怪。

Q: Do you think your panic attack cost you the win?

問：妳會覺得自己是因為恐慌發作才失去了冠軍寶座嗎？

Laura: You know what,I really believe that it would have been the same outcome.
If it wasn’t a panic attack it would have been past stuff. I feel like Sophie
is a very fresh face, she really is for the target demographic of this show,
the younger viewers. I have a completely different style. I’m much more out
there. And in all truth, sometimes I don’t feel like everybody knows how to
take my personality or see past certain things to see how I am. But Sophie,
she’s Illuminata, she’s got that sweet bubbly personality and I have a more
rough-around-the-edges sort.

Laura：妳知道嗎，我真的相信原本會是一樣的結果。就算沒有恐慌發作，也都過去了。我
覺得Sophie有張非常清新的臉，她就是這個節目的目標族群，那些年輕觀眾們想要的冠軍
人選。我完全不是這樣的風格，我離那種風格遠得很。老實說，有時候，我覺得不是所有
人都能接受我的個性，或是從我過去的人生看我現在的表現；但Sophie，她是光之使者，
她就有這樣甜美到冒泡的個性，而我是比較強硬、偏鋒的風格。

Q: Were you happy with your punk rock, Zig Zag branding?

問：妳喜歡自己被定義成那種龐克搖滾、反叛的品牌風格嗎？

Laura: I was fine with the branding but I think personally as a model, that’s
not truly the [entirety] of my brand. I am an adventurer don’t get me wrong, I
love to go skydiving. I love to do rock climbing and bungee jumping and all
that kind of stuff. They really missed the sense that I’m a really loyal
friend. I’m a loving daughter and sister. They really just ignored a lot of
the parts that make me a much more, I don’t know, if I’d say sweet person, I
wouldn’t say like sickly sweet, but I’m not a demon by any means. I’m not
constantly telling girls I don’t like them. That just happened on the show.

Laura：我對那個品牌風格沒有什麼意見，但我覺得身為一個模特兒，那個風格不完全能夠
代表我的品牌。我當然是個冒險家，別搞錯，我喜歡跳傘、攀岩、自由落體，和其他很多
刺激的活動。但節目真的沒顯現出我也是個忠誠的朋友、貼心的女兒和姊姊，製作單位選
擇忽略許多能讓我更全面的部分，我不知道，如果我要說自己是個可愛的人，當然不是指
那種病態的可愛，但無論怎麼說我都不會是個邪惡的人。我並沒有不斷地跟其他參賽者說
我不喜歡她們，那只發生在節目中的片段而已。

Q: What did you think of the criticism that you were “too sexual”?

問：妳怎麼看待別人對妳「過度肉慾」的批評？

Laura: I think that’s completely ludicrous. Sex is a big thing in life, and
[judge] Kelly Cutrone even has a bunch of different things on it. We focus way
too much on telling a younger generation what not to do, and we’re constantly
giving them boundaries and saying“No, no, no, stay away stay away stay away.”
And for me, I was very open with my father. The fact is he was so willing to
speak with me, let me know about what’s to come and how to prepare myself and
how to make the right decisions. And it really made me a better person. I
didn’t get into stupid things, I didn’t make stupid decision. I used to watch
Talk Sex with Sue Johanson, love her. I want her to be my grandma. She really
made me feel comfortable, I wasn’t shocked or weirded out.

Laura：我覺得那完全是非常可笑的事，性本來就是生活中的大事之一，而石凱莉在這上面
甚至有很多不同的主張。人們都著重在告訴年輕族群什麼是不該做的事，我們不斷地限制
然後說：「不，不，不，遠離性愛，遠離它，離得越遠越好。」，但對我來說，我跟我父
親之間非常開放，事實是，他很願意告訴我，性這件事情會如何發生、我要怎麼準備好自
己，我該怎麼做出正確的決定，這都讓我成為一個更好的人。我沒有做過蠢事，我也沒有
做出錯誤的決定。我常會看Sue Johanson主持的Talk Sex，我愛她，我希望她能是我的奶
奶，她談論性的方式讓我很舒服，沒有任何的震驚或感到怪異。

Laura: The fact that Alisha did say that I was completely unprofessional on
set, I was just like “Wow Alisha, way to turn on me.”I’m a very professional
person. When I go into any other job, when I do things like that, I am on key.
I have a great working relationship with everyone I work with. I keep things
fun, I keep things professional. And then you know as the relationship goes
down in the business sense, then we start making perverted jokes, then we start
getting a little more crazy. But that’s with any good working relationship.
You know what, this was television, you have to be 100% who you are and not
feel like you need to be pulled back in any way. And I think that was Alisha’s
downfall,the fact that she wasn’t willing to go the extra mile.And she was the
one who got frazzled, she was the one who was crying on the set. And I think
she’s a great girl but the fact that she did that to me, that was just wrong.

Laura：事實上，當Alisha在節目上說我完全不專業時，我真的覺得：「哇，Alisha，這也
太惹火我了吧！」，我是個非常專業的人。當我工作時，當我進行任何之類的事時，我都
能調整好定向；我和曾經合作過的工作人員都有很好的工作關係，我能讓工作保持樂趣，
同時讓工作保持專業。等到工作關係告一段落了，我們再來開些比較超過的玩笑，我們再
來瘋狂一些，但那都是在有良好工作關係下的事。妳知道嗎？這就是電視節目，妳需要百
分之百的忠於自我，不能覺得自己在任何方面需要有所保留。我想這是Alisha的崩潰點，
她不願意讓自己更進一步，於是最後她是節目中顯露疲態的人，也是在節目上落淚的人。
她是個好女孩，但她這樣評論我真的是不太對的。

Q: Were you surprised by anything you saw on the show, looking back?

問：當妳在節目回顧時，妳有對任何情節感到訝異嗎？

Laura: I think the funniest thing was that the things that they said about me
are things that so many people loved about me. I’m not going to care. I truly
believe if I’m trying to be somebody else, then I’m wasting life. A lot of
them were so hush hush and they would talk about each other all the time, all
the other girls, they would talk about each other behind each other’s back,
and I would just go up to the person and tell them. And I’m like wait, isn’t
this what you wanted me to do in the first place?And they were still mad at me.
It was funny. I tried my best to be as unbiased as possible but sometimes that
comes out once in a while.

Laura：我想最可笑的事情是：那些女孩詬病我的地方，就是許多人喜歡我的原因。我不打
算去在意那些評論，我真的覺得如果自己要把自己裝成另一個人，這根本在浪費生命。她
們許多人表面上都保持沉默，但無時不刻都跟其他所有人說三道四，她們會在別人的背後
批評別人，而我是直接走到對方面前告訴她我的想法。我有點覺得：等等，坦誠不就是妳
們原本希望我做的事情嗎？但她們還是一直對我不諒解，這很可笑。我盡己所能地讓自己
不要有偏見，但有時候這就是會發生。

Q: Have you been working on your runway walk?

問：妳有在自己的台步上面下功夫嗎？

Laura: Oh yeah, I’ve actually done several fashion shows since the show. I‘ve
been crazy busy, I’ve been doing commercials, photo shoots, I’ve been doing
runway. I’ve started my own underground rave line, it’s going to be coming
out soon, it’s all for black light. And I’m moving down to the city in a
month. New York City. And then I’m getting my skydiving license. It’s
incredible, and I might be starring on another reality show about skydiving
with skydivers at the ranch and different things. I would love to be part of
that. I can’t stop.

Laura：喔，這是當然，我在賽後已經完成了幾個時裝秀。超級忙碌的，我接了拍廣告、拍
照，走台步的工作。我也開始自己的地下rave，很快就要開始進行了；下個月我要搬到紐
約市區，然後要去考我的跳傘執照，超棒的，然後接下來我也要和一些跳傘者一起加入一
個關於跳傘的實境節目了，我很享受能參與其中，我腳步停不下來。

Q: Has your view of the modeling world changed at all?

問：妳對於模特兒圈的看法有改變嗎？

Laura: No, definitely not. I did find out that there is a lot of stigma that
gets tied to the show sometimes. The show is a very branding show. You have a
persona now, you are put in a little box, but it’s your job to show people
that you can be more than what they labeled you on the show. And that’s just
been one obstacle.

Laura：完全沒有耶。我的確發現節目會讓妳和一些形象緊密地纏在一起，畢竟ANTM是個非
常知名的節目。妳現在有了一個形象，被限制在一個小框框裡，但妳的工作是讓人們知道
妳其實遠遠超過節目上對妳的標籤，這是個障礙。

Q: Did you think it was unfair for you to be up against such an experienced
model like Sophie?

問：妳會覺得讓妳們和一些像Sophie一樣有經驗的模特兒一起比賽是很不公平的事嗎？

Laura: For me, I was at first kind of upset about it but then I was just like,
you know what? The fact that I beat out the rest of the British girls, and
they’d already gone on the show, made me really realize that it didn’t matter
at the end of the day. Their show is completely different from ours, and they
were thrown on a different playing field too. It was better that way.

Laura：對我來說，我一開始對這件事有些沮喪，不過後來…妳知道嗎？事實上，我已經打
敗了其他英國妞了，她們都已經離開了節目，讓我真的瞭解到，最終那是沒有差的。她們
的節目和我們不一樣，而她們也是被丟到了另一個場域上。這樣子看會比較好。

Q: Were you sexually attracted to AzMarie?

問：Az有對妳產生性吸引嗎？

Laura: Oh very, very much. She’s very sexy. She is, wow. She’s very sexy,
she’s got a lot of swag, as Tyra would say. I think Tyra had a crush on her.

Laura：喔，當然，她非常性感。她真的…哇…她真的超級性感，她很有型，就像泰嬤說
的，我想泰嬤一定也煞到Az了。

Q: Are you in a relationship right now?

問：妳現在死會了嗎？

Laura: No, I actually broke up with my girlfriend before going on the show, and
then that’s what kind of set me off, that I was free. I was like, “I’m free,
let’s flirt!”

Laura：沒有耶，我在參加節目前跟女友分手了，然後這讓我有點解放，因為是自由身，我
就像是：「我是自由的，我們來調情吧！」。
