Hi Spencer, I thought we might talk about fashion a little bit. Could you describe to me your style or your fashion sense?
斯宾塞，我们来谈谈时尚吧。你能给我介绍一下你的着装风格或你的时尚品味吗？

Well my fashion sense has definitely changed over the last decade.
过去十年，我的时尚品味肯定发生了改变。

I was kind of recently out of uni and my uni years it was always every night I wanted to look superb.
我已经大学毕业了，上大学时每天晚上我都要让自己看上去很完美。

I even dressed up for class, it was, you know, that whatchamacallit a big university,
上课时我也会精心打扮，要怎么说，我上的是一所大型大学，

but it was also a very old kind of university where everybody dressed up all the time,
也是一所老式大学，所有人无论何时都会精心打扮，

very southern, very, you know, let's look good for every kind of occasion.
这就是南方的风格，就是不管是什么场合都要让自己看上去处于好状态。

And since graduating from there, I have, you know, entered the real world
毕业以后我步入了现实世界，

and I only dress up for work or if I'm going out, which I love dressing up for an occasion.
我只会在上班时打扮一下，或者是我要外出的时候，我喜欢为一个场合打扮自己。

But day-to-day I also love just throwing on a t-shirt and jeans, what about you?
不过日常生活的话，我喜欢穿T恤和牛仔裤，你呢？

I think for me the most important thing is comfort. So my fashion sense hasn't really changed very much.
对我来说最重要的就是舒适。所以我的时尚品味没有太大变化。

I would still wear shorts and a t-shirt and sandals almost every day if I could.
如果可以的话，我会每天都穿短裤、T恤和凉鞋的。

But because of my job I have to dress up for work.
但是由于工作原因，我上班时不得不穿得正式一些。

But it's not really comfortable and I feel like it's not really me.
可是我觉得那样穿并不舒服，而且我感觉那都不是我了。

Occasionally I do like to wear a suit but maybe once in a long while, not every day.
偶尔我喜欢穿穿西装，不过是很长时间才会穿一次，而不是天天穿。

Yeah, it definitely after several, you know, weeks of kind of throwing on the same day-to-day comfortable clothes,
对，在连着好几个星期都穿着日常的舒适衣服以后，

and you have one occasion that you go out for and dress up for,
你要出席一个场合，然后为此精心打扮，

it does kind of feel like, you know, oh, I'm worth a million bucks like, you know, looking great,
那会让你感觉自己有100万美元的身价，因为打扮以后看上去非常不错，

one time you're wearing ... dressed to the nines, wearing all your best clothes.
盛装打扮，穿上最好的衣服。

Right. At the same time if I do dress up I want the most comfortable clothes I can get to dress up in, like I want shoes that look nice.
没错。我在精心打扮时，我想穿上最舒适的衣服，我想穿上看上去很美的鞋子。

But to me, looking comfortable looks nice.
对我来说，看上去舒服就是看上去很好。

If I see people who don't look comfortable in what they're wearing I don't think they look very good.
如果我看到有人的穿着看上去让人不舒服，那我就会认为他们的穿着不太好。

So sometimes I see people with really tall heels for example and people might say, "Oh, this looks so nice."
有时我会看到穿很高的高跟鞋的人，其他人可能会说：“哦，这真好看。”

But I just, I feel like they must be painful, it must be really hard to wear and to walk in.
可是我感觉那一定很痛苦，那一定很难穿，而且不方便走路。

That's so true, I hate heels, I cannot wear heels.
没错。我讨厌高跟鞋，我穿不了高跟鞋。

Half of it's confidence though, like I don't like being particularly taller than a lot of people,
虽然高跟鞋可能会让人觉得自信，可是我并不想比大多数人高，

it just kind of makes me unconfident.
所以那反倒让我感觉不自信了。

But every now and then like you see a really tall person wearing a pair of heels,
偶尔也会看到本来就很高的人穿高跟鞋，

and you know, shoulders high like super, super confident and they look great.
肩膀比别人都高就会显得超有信心，看上去的确很不错。

But also it is painful after several hours of wearing heels if you're walking around a bit.
不过如果要四处走动的话，高跟鞋穿几个小时就会令人很痛苦。

Right. Sometimes I find that with men's dress shoes as well, sometimes they're really narrow
对。我发现有些男生的鞋也很窄，

and my feet are a little bit wide and so you get these really long and pointed dress shoes that narrow towards the toes.
我的脚比较宽，可是有些鞋是那种又长又尖的形状，尤其是脚趾那里很窄。

And because of that I have a very hard time finding dress shoes for myself. I have to do a lot of shopping to find a good pair.
所以我很难买到适合我穿的鞋。为了买到一又舒服的鞋，我不得不逛很长时间。

I got lucky, I have tiny feet, so every time I walk into a shoe store my size happens to be the one that's on display.
那我比较幸运，我的脚很小，每次我去鞋店，我要穿的鞋号就是他们展示在那里的号码。

Oh, I see.
哦，我知道了。

And it's really quite good, yeah. Oh, that looks cute, I can just try it on then and there, so yeah, it is good.
这非常不错。“哦，那双鞋看起来好可爱”，那我就可以直接试穿，这很不错。

Yeah.
对。
