Looks Aren't Everything

上面是Cameron Russell, 模特，但她最出名的事不是做模特，而是在Ted上做了一個演講，至今還是前10瀏覽量。演講的名字叫做「外貌不是一切，相信我，我是一個模特」。當我第一眼看到這個題目，我馬上聯想到了王健林的那句「小意思」，不過出於好奇，我還是點開了，我發現她說得確實挺有說服力的。

Above is Cameron Russell. She was a model, but the most famous thing she did was not the model, it was a Ted speech. Her speech is the top 10 views on Ted. The speech she gave was "Looks arent everything, believe me, I am a model". When I first saw this topic, I directly connected it to JianLin Wangs famous saying, "its nothing", but I still clicked it out of curiosity, and I found out she did pretty good, the speech is very persuasive.

Below is the link of her speech:

Looks aren't everything. Believe me, I'm a model.

這是我對她演講做的筆記：

Here is my note for the speech:

1. Why became a model? (為什麼做模特？）

"I won a genetic lottery and be the recipient of a legacy."

像她說的，她在基因上中了頭彩，身材吃不胖，而且是接收了很好的遺傳，顏值高。（好氣啊對不對？生的好，沒辦法，這沒什麼說的，很多模特都是這樣）

2. What is beautiful? (什麼是美麗？）

Tall, slender figures, femininity, and white skin.

高，身材苗條，有女性氣質，白。（女性化和白需要重新定義，現在在美國已經是男性化的狂野型女性更受歡迎了，劉雯在其中做了不小貢獻，她的出現，讓外國人知道了東方美，在一定程度上改變了外國人的審美）

3. Is it great to become a model?(做模特好嗎？）

No! They are not in charge, the boss are. It is boring, and it makes them insecure.

不！模特們會被老闆約束。很無聊，而且很沒安全感。(模特為了拍一張照片，經常要擺一個造型成千上百次，非常枯燥乏味。模特為什麼會沒有安全感呢？他們每天都要擔心自己穿什麼，擔心自己身材夠不夠好，擔心外界的輿論。這樣看來，模特只是一個被加了光環的職業而已，也不容易）

4. Misunderstandings?（誤解？）

Modelss pictures are faked, they are constructed by professional photographers, models do not looks like that in real life.

模特的圖也是P的，而且是被專業攝影師P的，現實中的模特不長這樣的。（這點好理解，不展開了，這個世界，是你的，也是我的，但到最後，都是美圖軟體的）

Do models get free staff? Yes, in real life and without paying any cost.

模特得到「免費福利」嗎？ 是的，現實中的東西，而且不用任何付出。

（不要激動！她解釋了，得到的都是免罰單，免費的食物，有些女生長得漂亮，確實會利用這個優勢來謀取便利，但她們也要付出些東西，說白了就是身體！漂亮會帶來一些好處，但利用漂亮去謀取好處，這就是另一回事了。）

你們可能會很疑惑，她說了這麼多，跟題目有什麼關係？相信我，我跟你們感覺一樣，但如果我們把這個句子擴充一下，美麗有用，但美麗不是一切,就更好理解了。她說這篇演講的目的呢，我個人認為是要告訴那些瘋狂地追逐美貌，靠美貌來獲得一切的女生，外貌不是一切，人們尊重的是你這個人，而不是你的外貌. 我的建議就是，聽模特的話。

You guys may be confused about how she said relating to her topic. Believe me, I feel the same, but if we expand her topic, which is looks are something but they are not everything, and it becomes more clear. I think the reason why she did this speech was because she wanted to tell those girls who are crazy about improving their appearances and trying to achieving everything by their looks, that looks arent everything, people admire you because of who you are but not because of your looks. My suggestion is, listen to what model says.
