Part 2 采访
How would you describe your personal style?
I like to look a bit un-made up or laidback. For example, if i were to weare a very nice dress, i would not style my hair at all or I would tone down on the make up. When I'm dressed up from head to toe, I feel a little uncomfortable. It's as if the outfit has taken over and you are forced to act in a certain way.
（你会如何形容你的个人风格？
我喜欢看上去不是在刻意打扮或者很随意的。比如，如果我穿了一套很漂亮的衣服，我就不会再做头发的造型，或者我就会化比较淡的妆。当我从头到脚趾都打扮的时候，我会觉得有一点不自在。这样就会感觉这套衣服太过了，会像是被强迫在以某种方式去表演。）
How much of your image as a performer is you and not the result of professional styling?
I am very particular about the way I look so I would say that at least 70% of it is me. Whether I'm made up to look girly, edgy or like a rocker, there is always some part of me in there.
（你所呈现的照片中有多少是真实的你，而不是由于专业造型的效果?
在展现自我的方式上，我是有些特殊的，所以可以说至少有70%的照片中展现的是真实的我。不论我是打扮成像小女生，或者很突出个性，或是像一个摇滚乐手，真实的我都有某些部分是这样的角色。）
What do you think about being hailed Singapore's Kate Moss?
It is very flattering but I think it's actually hard to draw a parallel between us. Afterall, she's a Caucasion and a professional model and I'm certainly not as fashion conscious as she is.
（被称为新加坡的凯特.莫斯，你有什么感想？
一定会非常开心啊，但是我想还是很难把我们两人等同起来比较。毕竟，她是个白种人，是一个专业的模特；而我在这些方面肯定与她不同的。）
We have heard that you are particularly picky about who styles your hair. Is that true?
I admit I am very picky. It's not a matter of which hairstylist is good or bad, though, but whether he "gets" your hair. That's why people have their favourite hairstylist and mine is Dexter (Ng, local freelance celebrity hairstylist.)
（我们听说你对你的发型师很挑剔，是真的吗？
我承认我非常挑剔。哪个发型师水准的高低并不重要，他是否了解你的头发才是最重要的。这就是为什么人们会有他们最偏爱的发型师，我最喜爱的是Dexter (新加坡著名的自由发型师）。）
Have your fashion taste grown more expensive with your success?
I do love very good-looking, functional and roomy bags. My latest buy was the Yves Saint Laurent Easy Y in bronze and I love it. Compare me to a normal person and I would probably look like a fashion victim because I have a lot of designer bags, clothes and shoes. But I probably lose out to other female counterparts in the industry though.
（你的时尚品味会随着你的成功变得更追求奢华吗？
我确实喜欢很好看的，实用的和大大的包包。我最近买了一个 Yves Saint Laurent Easy Y的古铜色的包包，很喜欢它。跟普通人比起来，我可能看起来更像是一个时尚的受害者，因为我有很多包包，衣服和鞋子。但是我可能不及在这一行业中的其它同年龄的女性。）
Where do you usually shop?
I like Blackjack in Forum as well as Topshop, which i go to so often that when i don't, the sales staff go: " Hey, I very long never see you ah." I also like Belgian labels Dries Van Noten and Maison Martin Margiela because the designs are always unique. I tend to buy them in Hongkong as they are cheaper there.
（你通常会在哪里购物？
我喜欢Blackjack 和 Topshop, 这两家店我经常去，当我没有常去的时候店员就会说“嗨，我好久没见到你了咯。”我还喜欢Belgian labels,Dries Van Noten 和 Maison Martin Margiela,
因为这些设计通常很特别。我会在香港买，这些牌子在那里会比较便宜。）
You travel so much. Which is the most fashionable city?
Singapre. Nowadays, Singaporeans are very well-dressed. We also have brands like Topshop and Dries Van Noten and multi-label stores such as Club 21 that countries like Taiwan and China don't have.
（你这么经常旅行，哪一个城市是最时尚的？
新加坡。现在新加坡人都很会打扮。我们也有一些品牌像Topshop和 Dries Van Noten, 和一些有很多品牌的商店，像 Club 21，这是在其它一些城市没有的。）
【ps:这里有点政治问题，就先忽略了。】
What are the worse fashion faux pas in your career?
Probably the bikini-over-clothes combo that you see on the sleeve of my first album, Yan Zi, which i believe was a take on a Christina Aguilera look. I felt very uncomfortable in it but when you are a newbie, you just shut up and do as you are told. Now, looking at those pictures just make me cringe.
（在过去的工作中最差的造型是什么？
可能是大家在我第一张同名专辑里看到的那个内衣外穿的搭配，这个我觉得是一个模仿Christina Aguilera 的造型。我穿着它的时候觉得很不舒服，但是当你是一个新人，你只能沉默然后按别人告诉你的去做。现在，看到那些照片让我觉得很恐怖。
How important is image to a musician?
It is, unfortunately, very important. You should not let ther eway you look overshadow you as a musician but it certainly should work in tandem with your music. It is always weird when a singer doesn't turn out looking the way a listener expects him to. It's not about looking fashionable or stylish but simply a matter of whether your look reflects your sound. I'd like to think that what you see on my album covers conveys a certain kind of fearlessness. - the message that a girl can dress as she pleases - and that's me.
（形象对于音乐人来说有多重要？
很不幸，形象非常重要。你不应该让它们太突兀，以至于忽略了你是一个音乐人，但是形象确实对你的音乐有连锁效应。当一个歌手塑造的形象与听众期待的不一样，那会非常奇怪。这不是说你要看起来多么时尚或者多么有型，而只是个很简单的问题，你的形象是否符合你的声音。我会想你们在看到我的专辑封面可以觉得它表达出一种无所畏惧的感觉——这个女生可以随着自己的喜好穿衣服打扮——那就是我。
What are three items in your wardrobe that you can't live without?
A big bag that fits a wallet, a mobile phone, a recyclable bag, a notebook, a lipstick and tissue paper. I'm currently using the YSL Easy Y. I also can't live without black thong slippers. I have flat feet so most shoes hurt when I'm on my feet too much. I also need black elastic band sto hold back flyaway hair. They aren't exactly fashionable but an absolute essential.
(哪三样东西是你的装扮里必不可少的？
适合放钱包的大些的手袋，手机，可再生的环保袋，记事本，口红和面纸。我现在正在用的是 YSL Easy Y (应该是在说唇彩）。我还不能没有黑色的夹脚拖鞋。我有扁平足，所以通常当我站太久脚会很疼。我还需要黑橡皮筋来防止头发乱飞。他们不是非常流行，但却是非常必要的。

燕姿的时尚秘诀
Stefanie Sun shares 3 tips on how to look like a star:
孙燕姿分享了三个小贴士，如何看起来像明星：
1) Exercise regularly
"When you have a toned body, you will naturally look good. I do sports such as rock climbing. I try to exercise whenever I can, even if it's raising my legs or lifting dumb bells while watching TV."
(经常运动
“当你有一个健康的身体，你会自然的很好看。我做一些运动，像攀岩之类的。我会尽量在任何有可能的情况下做运动，就算在看电视也可以抬腿或者举哑铃。”）
2) Do not second-guess yourself
"When you've put on an outfit and are out of the door, don't think about whether you should have worn something else. If you were uncomfortable with it in the first place, you should have changed. "
（不要怀疑你自己
“当你已经穿上一套衣服出门了，就不要再想你是否有什么地方出错了。如果你当初穿上它们觉得不舒服，你就已经换掉它们了。”）
3) You matter most
"Never let the outfit overshadow who you are. Be confident about yourself.

“不要让衣服掩盖了真实的你。要对自己有信心。） |
