過去簡單式

Sal: Well, I just wanted to introduce everyone

You all know I was just in England two weeks ago,

你們都知道兩個禮拜前我人在英國

and as part of that, you came to the talk

And then the next day we met at Heathrow Airport.

然後第二天我們在希斯洛機場見面

Sal: I had my $6 Old Navy shirt feeling very insecured

Sal：我穿著 6 美金的 Old Navy 襯衫

Both Esther and I were there, and you inspired us

我和 Esther 都在場，當妳說妳將會來到

when you said you're going to be in this area

這個地區時，妳給了我們一個靈感

we're like, well, we would love you to do

Just talk about what you're doing etc, etc.

就聊聊妳現在在做的事情，諸如此類的

If you could talk a little bit about just how you...

如果妳可以談一些關於妳如何...

I mean, fashion, the world of fashion, is this world...

我是指時尚，時尚產業，是否時尚產業...

我的意思是，大部分的人並不清楚

and especially get to the level that you've gotten.

特別是要如何達到妳這樣的位置

妳是如何開始的，使用什麼樣的...

at least at the early stages, allowed you to get here?

至少在初期時，什麼讓妳達到這個位置？

Angela: I mean, honestly, it's not a dissimilar story

I think the greatest thing that anybody can do

我認為每個人所能夠做的最棒的事情

when they're young is discover their passion

I know it sounds really, really terrible,

我知道這聽起來真的、真的很糟糕

但是我熱衷物質生活、我愛購物

and I love fashion magazines, and I love to sew and create.

我愛流行雜誌，而且我愛裁縫和創作

It was the only industry I had to get in to,

時尚產業就是我唯一且必須進入的產業

and signed up for all these design classes,

and realized I really wasn't that creative.

才瞭解到我其實並不是那麼有創意

I had a professor say that, "we call you a merchant."

有一位教授說：「我們都說妳是個商人。」

I'm like, "Okay," and so then I signed up

我就想說「好啊。」，因此我就報名了

for a lot of merchandising and marketing courses.

So my university degree is in merchandising and marketing.

所以我的大學學位是銷售和行銷

We have Christopher Bailey who's the chief creative officer,

我們有 Christopher Bailey 擔任首席創意總監

and his whole creative team does all those videos.

他的整個創意團隊負責所有的影片

and on my left, we have the chief financial officer,

而在我的左邊，我們有首席財務長

You have this balance so I will say I'm a 50, 50.

因為有這個平衡，所以我會說我是一半一半

因為我和他說：「有一天，當你們

start to introduce some right brain curriculum.

And the Burberry Foundation would be honored

to help you start creating some of those things

when you're already down the road out there."

Sal: Yeah, and now we're already starting a little bit,

Sal：好的，既然現在我們已經開始聊起來

那麼我們可以談論更多相關的事

我的意思是，妳說自己沒有創意

I mean that, I think you're really underselling your…

Sal: But you obviously had a very strong aesthetic,

妳能敏銳地辨識，能夠建立團結...

Angela: Yeah, again I'm absolutely a merchant,

Angela：是的，因此我絕對是個商人

and I will tell you the reason Christopher and I

因為我們都是有創造力的思想家

Angela: We feel very strongly that the curriculum

Angela：在學校課程裡，特別是美國，我們深深感覺

specifically in America has become so left brain,

這些課程已經變得非常傾向左腦思維

so much of the arts and things have been cut out.

許多和藝術及其相關的事物都被省略掉

But it is... I think for where the world's going

但這個...我認為對於世界未來的走向

We need... and so many times they're getting lost

我們需要... 很多時候這些人會迷失

out of the system, so we created the Burberry Foundation.

於系統之外，因此我們創立了 Burberry 基金會

We give 1% of our profits into the Burberry Foundation,

我們將 1％ 的收益投注在基金會裡

and what we do is, we try and pick up the youth

而我們做的是，試著挑選出那些

that is starting to fall out of the system

because they think they're dumb, because they don't.

因為他們認為不在系統裡是因為自己愚蠢，因為他們並不愚蠢

Hopefully, we can help turn them on to you guys

希望我們能夠將這些人交給你們

but they're incredibly creative thinking.

我們會盡可能的多帶領一些這樣的人

讓他們看到一個像我們這樣的公司

Sal：是的，我知道，這真是不可思議
