赛后采访
As a spunky redhead with an inspiring
backstory, a worthy goal (to become the first gay America's Next Top Model
winner) and an amazing modeling portfolio, Kayla Ferrel of cycle 15 came in as
one of the frontrunners in America's Next Top Model: All-Stars. Personally, I
was pretty sure -- and hopeful -- that we'd see her in the finals.
顶着一头生机勃发的红发，带着一段振奋人心的经历、一个值得奋斗的目标（成为第一个同性恋ANTM冠军）、以及一组超赞的神照，15季的实力选手Kayla Ferrel重新回来，参与了本届ANTM全明星赛季。从个人角度讲，我特别肯定而且希望——观众都愿意在决赛中看见她。
But, once again, I was very, very,
tragically wrong. Last Wednesday, Kayla was sent home, partly because her photo
portraying Snooki wasn't quite "hot mess" enough for the judges'
tastes, but mostly because Tyra thought that, week to week, Kayla was becoming
a "watered down" version of her former self.
然而，我再一次不幸地错了。上周三，Kayla被送回家。其中部分是因为她扮演Snooki的照片并没有糟糕到符合评委那“混乱不堪”的口味，但更重要的是，Tyra觉得，随着赛程的深入和时间的流逝，Kayla在逐渐丢失以前鲜明的个人风格，逐步淡化了自己的特点。
On the contrary, Kayla told me when we
spoke on Friday, she wasn't watered down this cycle. Instead, the show
essentially (and rather ironically) set her up for failure, using the word that
helped her succeed in cycle 15: "free." Here's Kayla to explain:
与此相反，Kayla告诉我，论及上周五的淘汰，她却觉得本赛季中并没有淡化自己的风格，而是由于秀里面那个号称在15季中帮她走向成功的“free”一词，从本质上（并且特别具有讽刺意味地）令她走向失败。下面是她的访谈：
How do you feel after the whole all-star
experience? Do you feel like an all-star?
Yeah, I mean, I guess when I talk to other
people they're like, "Yeah, on cycle 15 you werre definitely one of my
favorites." So I definitely think I'm an all-star when it came to my cycle
15, and yeah, I had a good experience. I had a lot of fun with it.
记者：经过整个全明星的体验后，你感觉如何？有觉得自己像个全明星吗？
K：呃，我认为，当我跟其他人聊天时，很多人都会说：“没错，在15季里面，你绝对是我的最爱之一”。所以，当说起15季时，我肯定我就是个全明星，那时我度过了美好的时光，并从中获得了许多乐趣。
The last time we talked, I guess it was
about a year ago, after cycle 15, you said you were heading to Tokyo. So what
have you been up to in between?
I've actually done pretty well over there.
I've done some work in February. I have a lot of jobs. I actually signed with
an agency out there, so I accomplished my goal when it came to that. But I only
signed as an international model, so I only get to go out there four to five
times out of the year. I do go for about four to six weeks, and they book me
with a bunch of jobs. I have a blast every time I go out there. I'm really
excited because I'm going in February. And this time I told Laura I was gonna
take her with me for at least one of the weeks. She was really excited.
记者：距离上次的访谈差不多已经有一年了，15季结束后，你说你当时正准备前往东京。所以，我要问的是，你在15季与17季间都有哪些经历？
K：我在那边确实干得相当不错，今年2月开始接了些活儿，并获得了一些工作，在那边签了家公司。所以这次我参加全明星赛季，仅仅是为了实现自己的目标。但我在东京是作为国际模特签约的，所以一年之中只有4、5次去那里的机会。我在那里的时间大约有4—6周，他们给我安排了一堆工作。每次过去，都是一次非常快乐、热闹的经历。2月我会再过去一次，对此我确实很兴奋。这次我会带着Laura一起过去差不多一周左右，这是之前说好了的，她对此也很兴奋。
I can picture the two of you having a
hilarious reality show.
You should see us together. She's like
country bumpkin, and I'm kinda like not country bumpkin, so the two of us
together... It's pretty funny.
记者：我可以想象你们俩在一起有趣热闹欢腾的样子，就像在上演另一场真人秀。
K：你应该能在秀中看到我们俩经常在一起。她是乡下土包子模样，而我看起来不是很乡村风，所以我们俩在一起的时候……特别有趣滑稽。
To be honest, I wish that we had seen more
of you this season. What do you think about how much you were shown this
season?
I just feel a little bit gypped. On my
cycle 15, they showed me a lot. You got to see a lot of my background and my
past, the reason I was there and who I was. And I feel like on this cycle, the
all-stars cycle, you have so many stand-out personalities like Laura, or Lisa,
or maybe Angelea or Bianca. It was kind of like, they really didn't show me
like they did on cycle 15. My number one goal in actually coming back to
all-stars was so that people could see a different side of me. Because on cycle
15, I was airing out a lot of dirty laundry, and I was very emotional, and I
was going through a lot. I was 19 years old. It was a learning experience for
me. And then in this cycle, they don't get to see that I actually had a lot of
fun. This girl would be like, "You're like the funniest person I
know." I cracked jokes and I always messed with them. We had fun. They
really didn't get to see that. They showed me like I was the timid girl from
cycle 15. I'm kind of disappointed that who I was wasn't necessarily shown how
I wanted it to be, but it is what it is. I had a good time.
记者：说实话，我希望我们可以在这一季中看到更多的你，你怎么看待你在本赛季中所展示出来的形象？
K：我只是有一点点受骗的感觉。在15季时，他们剪辑了很多有关我的内容，你可以在节目里看到许多我的独白，我过去的经历，我参赛的原因，以及我对自己的定位。然而在这一季，在全明星赛季中，你看到了许多独特鲜明的形象，比如 Laura, Lisa,或者也许还会有Angelea和Bianca，但这之中没有我。可以这么说，他们并没有像原来15季时那样剪辑很多关于我的部分。重回ANTM参加全明星赛季，我最大的愿望是希望人们能够看到我的不同侧面。15季时，大家看到的Kayla是一个总是挂出很多脏衣服，一个十分情绪化的有过很多经历的19岁女孩。15季对我来说确实是个很好的学习体验。但是，在本次全明星赛季，制片方们看不到我实际上干过很多很有意思的事情，如果他们确实看到了，那么我应该是他们“见过的最有意思的人”。我各种开玩笑，与大家厮混在一起，干了很多乐事。但是这些制片方都没有看到，他们只是剪辑出一个来自15季的胆小女孩的形象。对此我有些失望，他们给我的剪辑并不能展示出我对自己形象的定位。但就是这样，我依旧觉得在17季中玩得很快活。
From what you're saying, it sounds like
they edited you to support what the judges were saying about how you seemed
like a "watered down version" of yourself, or something to that
effect. What did you make of all of that feedback?
I started to develop a tough skin. Because
when I went in front of the judges, I felt like they never really had an
overwhelming amount of positive feedback for me from the beginning of the
cycle. In cycle 15, I'd say a good 95% of the time it was always positive. I
really heard positive things. I was happy and confident, I was really doing well.
Even though I wasn't confident in myself. It was really weird, but I was
confident I was doing well in the competition. Then this cycle, I've grown so
much, and a lot more confident about who I am, and now they're saying,
"You're a watered-down version of yourself." So for me it was really
frustrating. I was so confused, and I'm like "No, you've got it
wrong." In cycle 15 I was unconfident, I didn't know who I was. I needed
guidance and I needed help to figure out what was going on. I needed someone to
talk to. This cycle, I've actually been able to talk to someone, I've done
counseling and figured out who I am. I am so much more confident. I've gone on,
I've modeled and I've had a career overseas. But now they're saying I'm a
watered-down version of myself? I didn't get that. I felt I was a lot more
confident, but it really didn't feel that way on TV.
记者：按照你所说的，听起来他们对你的剪辑，只是为了证明评委们淘汰你时给出的理由：本季中的Kayla是个“平淡无奇版”Kayla，或者诸如此类的其他。对此你有什么回应吗？
K：本季中我开始塑造一个坚强的形象。然而当站到评委面前时，我却觉得打一开始他们就没有真正以一个积极的视角重新全面审视我。在15季，我会说95%的时光都是正面的，我真的听到了很多积极的东西，我快乐，我自信，我确实做得很好，即使那时的我对自己并不是很有信心。很吊诡地，在本季中，我对自己在比赛中的所作所为信心满满，我成长了很多，自我认知更加清晰，然而他们却说“你只是你自己的平淡版”。对我来说这真是令人沮丧。我当时很迷惑，觉得“不，你们搞错了”。15季时我对自己没什么信心，也不清楚自己的定位，那时我非常需要人指点，需要有人来帮我指出现状和进展情况，需要人去倾诉。反过来，在本季中我可以与人交谈，做其他人的倾听者，对自己有准确的定位。我是如此的充满自信。我已经走了，我成为了别人的榜样并且在海外有自己的事业，但现在他们却说我是过去自己的平淡版。我搞不懂。我感到自己充满信心，但是这在电视上却实在无法看出来。
I wanted to ask you about your branding
word, "free," which always seemed like a trick, because you're being
forced to be "free," and you're under all these restrictions and you
have to follow all these instructions for every challenge. So how do you be
"free" in that environment?
I don't even think you can fully understand
how stressful it really was. I'm modeling, and I know what to do, I know how to
model. But then you hear Mr. Jay saying, "I don't feel like you're being
free." For me, free was a meaningful word because it was something I
really did pick in my cycle 15. It had meaning behind it. I picked that word.
It wasn't given to me. It was something I chose. So, to be given that, at
first, I was like, "This is great." But it ended up leading to my
demise, because I'd be on photo shoots and they'd be like, "You're not
free, you're not free." It's such a vague word. It can mean something to
one person and something else to another. How I felt, I was being free. I was
like, "I'll do whatever the hell I wanna do!" That's my version of
free. But it wasn't their version. So for me, it was negative being given this
word that was so vague. Some girls had words that were very understandable.
Like you understand what that word means like, "pure" or
"angelic." I don't remember their words, but some of them were a
little bit easier to portray.
记者：我想知道你对自己的品牌词语“free”的看法。这个词看起来像是一个骗局，因为你被这个代表自由的“free”所束缚住了，被其意义所限制，不得不在每一场挑战中遵循对于“free”的说明。那么，在这种环境下你究竟是如何看待“free”的呢？
K：我不认为作为旁观者的你能够充分理解超模屋里的压力究竟有多大。我是在任的模特，我知道作为模特该做些什么，也知道怎样做模特，但是却听到Mr. Jay对我说：“我不认为你现在的样子展示出了你的品牌词语‘free’
”。对我来说，“free”是个充满意义的词语，因为这确实是我在15季中摘取出的精华，蕴涵了许多意义。我选择这个词，并不是它反映出我的形象，而是它只是我自身的一个选择，我选择去成为代表自由的“free”。所以最初，考虑到这一点，我的念头是“这个词儿很不错”。但之后这个词却开始将我带入困境，因为我拍硬照时，他们一直都觉得“你看起来不自由，没有反映出‘free’的真正意义”。这是个模糊的词，用在不同的人身上可以表示不同的内容，那我怎么看待我是否正处于一个“自由”的状态呢，我认为“做任何我想做的事情”，这就是Kayla版的“free”。但评委们显然不这么看。所以对我来说，这么一个含义模糊的词语给我带来许多负面的影响。一些姑娘的品牌词语是非容易理解，你可以明白这个词到底在指什么，就像是“纯粹”或者“天使”这类的。我不记得她们的品牌词了，但确实有几个品牌词更容易扮演。
I've got some questions from our readers
for you. One of them wants to know: Are you planning on keeping your hair red?
I am. I personally like my red hair. When I
first was told I was gonna get red hair on cycle 15, I was so scared. I was
like "No! I'm going to look horrible." But I actually love it. I love
my red hair. The only reason I dyed it back in the first place was because I
had been working in Japan. My agent was like, "We need you to be something
that's easier to book you with. You know, red hair is so distinct. The black
hair will be so much easier to book you with a variety of things." Now my
hair isn't as red as it was, but it's still red. So I can still book jobs. I'm
really happy with it, and I'm definitely keeping my red hair.
记者：一些读者想问你，你还打算继续保持你的红色头发吗？
K：我会继续保持这头红发的。我个人十分喜欢我的红头发。在15季中，当我第一次被告知我将染一头红发时，我想的是“不要，我染成红头发的样子会看起来很可怕的！”但是现在我真的很喜欢染红发，我爱我的红头发。我没有保持红发的唯一原因是我在日本工作，我的经纪人认为“不染头发会更容易签到工作。你知道，红头发看起来特别显眼，而黑头发则更容易签到多种多样的工作。”现在我的头发不是以前那种鲜红色，这种深红虽然是红色的，但是却相对较低调，好让我签其他工作。我对这头红发很满意，并且肯定会一直保持下去。
That's great. It's sort of a signature look
for you now. How has Top Model changed your life? 
Top Model, honestly, cheesy as it sounds,
has really helped me learn who I am. I went into the show like a bottle. I had
all these things held in. Originally, I was like, "I'm going to the show
and I'm going to have fun," and then when I got there, it's like all these
things that I never thought would come out, came out. Since then, I was able to
grow and fully understand myself. As much as I'd like to say that I hate that I
said as much as I said on Top Model, it actually helped me grow as a person. If
it wasn't for Top Model, I don't know how long I would have been holding all
that baggage in. It actually helped me become kind of who I am now.
记者：听起来不错，这现在已经是你的一种标志性外形了。除此之外，ANTM有没有对你的生活产生什么影响呢？
K：说真的，超模大赛听起来就很俗气，而其实质也是如此。超模大赛虽然帮助我学会发现自我、认识自我，但参加这个秀让我觉得像是困在一个瓶子中，我所希翼的一切全都被束缚着。最初，我想：“我要去参加真人秀，我会在那里玩得很快活”。但当我真的参加了这场秀之后，所有以前没有考虑到的事情就全都冒了出来。从那时起，我开始成长并且全面地了解了自己。正如我想说的，我讨厌自己原来说过的、而在超模大赛上我也这样说过：作为一个个体，我确实在这场秀中成了许多。如果不是超模大赛，我不知道自己要花多久才能抓住自己渴求的那些东西。正是在这场秀的帮助下，我才成为了现在的我。
Are you happy or sad that you were
eliminated before next week's music video challenge?
[Laughs] Um... happy! I'm not very
musically inclined. And I'm definitely not a good writer. I never really did
very good in school. I kinda went from home to home, so I went from school to
school, too. Maybe that was why. But yeah. I'm nervous for the girls. I'm definitely
gonna stay tuned in and watch that one, because I don't know how would I have
handled that. It would have been horrible. If I wasn't eliminated this week, it
probably would have been next week, anyway.
记者：你再下一周的音乐录影带挑战之前被淘汰，对此你是感到高兴呢？还是难过？
K：[笑]嗯……当然是高兴！我并不是乐感很好的人，也绝对写不出来好歌词。在学校的时候，我就没有过什么特别好的表现，所以才写不出来吧。但是呢，我对参加音乐录影带挑战的姑娘们揪心，我绝对要好好地看这一集，因为我不清楚面对这样的挑战时我会怎样处理，这实在是个可怕的挑战。这么说吧，假使EP07时我没被淘汰，到了EP08，我也肯定会被淘汰。
So is it safe to say that you're rooting
for Laura?
I'm in love with Laura, and I would love to
see her win. I'm also really rooting for Alison, too. Me and her, we ended up
pushing our beds together and becoming really good friends inthe house. We
would stay up and talk to each other all night about everything. I just think
she's so original and so unique. You know, you don't know a lot of Alisons, you
know what I'm saying? I kind of think that's what an all-star needs to be.
Someone who's really unique and original. So part of me wants to say Laura just
because I love her so much. Another part of me thinks Allison would be a really
good fit for what an all-star should be, so I don't know.
记者：我可以肯定地说，你是Laura的支持者吗？
K：我爱Laura，我也很愿意看到她取得冠军。当然我也很支持Alison。后来我跟她把我们的床并到一起，成为了超模屋里面真正的朋友。我们会腻在一起聊各种事情聊一整宿。她是那么的独到、独特。你知道，你不了解很多关于Allsion的东西，你明白我的意思吧，这就是一个全明星所必需的，一个真正独到、独特的形象。所以对我来说，我部分是希望Laura赢，因为我很喜欢她；部分是希望Allison赢。所以，你说我是Laura的支持者，我确实不清楚自己算不算。  Kayla赛中图片
