第16單元 新誕生的服裝設(shè)計(jì)師
Charity Bremner was known amongst her friends as having an eye for fashion. She just seemed to know what colors and farics matched and what didn't.
夏綠蒂·布魯默在朋友眼中，是出了名對(duì)流行眼光獨(dú)到的人，她總是知道哪種顏色和布料比較搭配，哪種比較不搭。
One could always find her scribbling down fashion ideas in her notebook or see her doodling outfits on napkins. She spent her free time sewing her owndesign and altering the clothes in her closet.
不管在哪里，總是會(huì)看到她在筆記本上畫下服裝設(shè)計(jì)的點(diǎn)子，或者看到她在餐巾上畫著服飾。她在空閑時(shí)，會(huì)縫制她的設(shè)計(jì)并改造衣櫥里的衣服。
Friends saw Charity's talent and urged her to attend fashion school. She began a two-year fashion program and did very well at it. Each year, students who graduate from the two-year program hold a fashion show. The students are always nervous about their graduation show because many important people from the fashion industry are in attendence.
朋友看到夏綠蒂的天分，便慫恿她去念服裝設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)院。她開始兩年的設(shè)計(jì)課程，并且表現(xiàn)優(yōu)秀。在那所兩年一制的學(xué)校里，每年都會(huì)有畢業(yè)生舉行畢業(yè)服裝展，由于服裝界的重要人士都會(huì)出席這個(gè)服裝展，因此畢業(yè)生總是很緊張。
When it was time for Charity's models to go on stage, she was shaking like a leaf,"What if no one likes my ideas?"she thought. For Charity, scribbling her ideas down in a book seemed so safe compared to this.
輪到夏綠蒂的模特兒上臺(tái)走臺(tái)步時(shí)，她像樹葉般頻頻發(fā)抖。“要是沒人喜歡我的點(diǎn)子，那該如何是好?”她心想。對(duì)夏綠蒂來說，在書上涂鴉似乎比這件事來得安全。
Charity didn't have to worry for long. A small company loved her stuff and asked her to be adesigner on their team. Charity was a success!
不過，夏綠蒂的顧慮并沒有持續(xù)多久，有家小公司喜歡她的設(shè)計(jì)，并邀請(qǐng)她加入他們的設(shè)計(jì)團(tuán)隊(duì)。夏綠蒂成功了!
