I love inspiring people so that's where I got lot of um.. the confidence 'cause

我喜歡去啟發別人，我也得到很多的...自信，

I am helping other people's lives to make sure they express themselves.

因為我是在幫助他人，確保他們懂得表達自己

Always be yourself and always be proud of who you are no matter what anyone says to you.

永遠記得要做自己，不管別人怎麼說，要時時以自己為傲

When I was 2, after I saw season 1 of RuPaul's Drag Race, I started using my mom's towels,

在我兩歲那年，看完露波的變裝皇后賽第一季之後，我開始把我媽媽的毛巾、

blankets, and bubble wrap, whatever I could get my hands on.

毯子，還有氣泡袋，任何我碰得到的東西都拿來

I would wrap them around my body and put them on my head

我會把它繞在身上，還有放到頭上

I started to going drag shows when I was 5 years old and it was really fascinating to

五歲的時候，我開始參加變裝秀，那場面真的很吸引人

see these people, like, dressing how they wanted and all this fierce makeup they had on.

看到那些人，穿上他們想穿的，還有臉上犀利搶眼的妝容

Overnight, I became, like, this viral superstar and when i vogued the whole way of the pride

一夜之間，我爆紅成了超級巨星，而且當我在同志大遊行中大跳 Vogue 舞時

parade and a fan started a fan page on Facebook called “Desmond is Amazing” and I really

有位粉絲在臉書創了一個粉絲專頁「驚奇戴斯蒙」

So then I decided to keep my stage name as “Desmond is Amazing.”

所以我決定讓「驚奇戴斯蒙」成為我的藝名

And that's I've been known as to this day.

從那時開始，大家就一直那樣稱呼我

When I was, like, 6 or 7, I would make me look like a car crash, but then I quit because

在我六、七歲的時候，我化的妝看起來像是我出了車禍，然後我就放棄了

I was like “I can't do makeup,” but then once I did my photoshoot for 'HARDY

因為我覺得「我真的不能化妝」，但有一次我替 HARDY 雜誌拍攝

Zine' my mom packed a bunch of makeup and I decided that I wanted to try out doing makeup.

我媽媽把一堆化妝品放進包包裡，於是我決定要再試一次

And I didn't give up, even though sometimes I did it really bad, but sometimes I also

我沒有放棄，雖然有時候我化得很糟，但有時也會

I did once geometric where I had eyeliner and I made little, like, crazy shapes and

我有一次化了幾何風的妝容，包括眼線，還有我做了一些小巧古怪的形狀

Well, my mom thought that RuPaul just smiled at me and she thought that was going to be

我媽媽以為露波只是給我一個微笑，然後那場表演就結束了

the end of it, but then RuPaul was like “can you come up here?”

但後來露波對著我說「你可以上台嗎？」

And I was like, I'm going to come up here no matter what.

然後我心想，無論如何我都得上台

And the thing that matters is that I got to meet my idol and that he called me the future

最重要的是我見到了我的偶像，而且他把我譽為

My mom always watched documentaries and I would watch them.

我媽媽常常看紀錄片，我也會跟著一起看

Some of them were about civil riots, club kids, blitz kids, so that's how I learned

有些關於人權暴動、俱樂部小子，還有新浪漫運動的年輕人，我也從中學到

My relationship with my mom is so amazing.

She is the biggest role model in my life.

在我生命中，她是我最好的榜樣

And I sketch out outfits and she makes them into reality which is um...I don't know

我會畫出服裝的草圖，她就能夠把那些服裝變出來...我不知道

I think that I, basically, would rather have a kid that feels accepted to be himself and

基本上，我寧願讓一個孩子能夠接受自己最真實的樣貌

feels that he has a mind of his own to think with, than to feel resentful.

並且了解到自己是能自主作決定的，總比憤世嫉俗來得好

I think that all kids should be able to be creative and free thinking and not feel

我認為所有的孩子都應該要發揮創造力，以及擁有自由的思想，

like they have to be a mini version of their parents.

而不是覺得他們必須成為父母的縮小版

I see that I'm doing the same thing like a soccer mom might do or a mom whose kid likes

我知道我在做的事就像一個足球員的媽媽，或是一個喜歡

You know, they would buy them paints and paper and a soccer mom might buy uniforms and the

他們會買給孩子顏料、紙張，足球員的媽媽會買給孩子球衣

other equipment, whereas I'm helping to make his costumes for what he wants to do.

還有其他足球設備，就像我會幫他製作服裝，好讓他去做他想做的

Bullies are people who are just jealous that you're so pretty and that you are so confident

惡霸就是那些嫉妒你長得漂亮，還有嫉妒你做事

It's not good to make fun of other people just because of what they are wearing.

只因為一個人的穿著打扮而去嘲笑他/她，是一件很差勁的事

You should always be yourself and always be proud of who you are no matter what anyone

永遠記得要做自己，並且時時以自己為傲，不管別人

And haters should just go away 'cause if you don't like it, then don't watch it.

酸民就該走開，因為你如果不喜歡，就別來看

I can only own my own feelings and I can't own what these other people's feelings are,

我管不著別人的看法，只能管理好自己的情緒，

so I try to pay it no mind, like Desmond says.

所以我試著置之不理，就像戴斯蒙說的那樣

The most positive thing is that he is visible out there and he is able to inspire others

最正面的影響是他能夠引人注目而且去啟發他人

並讓別人也能一同參與他的人生故事

There's really no secret to parenting anybody except to teach them to do the right thing

其實對於孩子的教養真的沒有什麼秘訣，只要教導他們做對的事、

and to accept themselves, and just encourage them to grow into respectful citizens.

去接受最真實的自己，並鼓勵他們成為有禮貌的公民

Be yourself always no matter what anyone says and just tell the haters to pay no mind.

不管他人怎麼說，別在意酸民的想法，永遠記得要做自己
