[雙語(yǔ)新聞]中性男模驚艷亮相 半裸出鏡慘遭誤解

 

Two major U.S. book retailers have censored an image of andogynous male model Andre Pejic 'in case customers confuse him for a woman.'
美國(guó)兩家大型圖書(shū)連鎖銷售商決定撤下以“雌雄同體”的男模Andre Pejic為封面時(shí)尚雜志，以避免消費(fèi)者誤將他視為女性。

The Serbian-born catwalk star, 19, who has appeared in shows for Givenchy and Jean Paul Gaultier, appears topless on the cover of glossy magazine Dossier.
這位曾在Givenchy和Jean Paul Gaultier時(shí)裝發(fā)布會(huì)上走秀的塞爾維亞模特新星在這期的《Dossier》封面上袒胸露懷，瀟灑不羈。

But both Barnes & Noble and Borders have demanded that issues of the magazine come wrapped in opaque plastic.
Barnes & Noble和Borders這兩家圖書(shū)零售商要求出版商將雜志采用不透明的塑料袋包裝。

Barnes & Noble is said to have told Dossier's distributor that it would have to forfeit the order or agree to a covering concealing the image.
Barnes & Noble表示，如果《Dossier》不愿意配合的話他們將撤掉這期備受爭(zhēng)議的封面。

It said that though it understood that Mr Pejic was male and not female, 'the model is young and it could be deemed as a naked female.'
他們表示，盡管很清楚Pejic是男兒身，不過(guò)“因?yàn)槟Ｌ貎悍浅Ｄ贻p，并且非常容易被誤認(rèn)為是赤裸的女性。”

Dossier co-founder and creative director Skye Parrott told Jezebel.com that the directive came as a shock.
《Dossier》的合作創(chuàng)始人兼創(chuàng)意總監(jiān)Skye Parrott對(duì)于此事表示非常震驚。

She said: 'We knew that this cover presented a very strong, androgynous image, and that could make some people uncomfortable. That's partly why we chose it. I guess it has made someone pretty uncomfortable.'
她說(shuō)：“我們了解這張封面展示了一個(gè)強(qiáng)烈的雌雄同體的形象，并可能使得某些人產(chǎn)生不適的感覺(jué)，但這也是我們選擇其的原因，就是為了讓某人感到不舒服。”

She added that colleagues in the industry were equally stunned.
她還表示同業(yè)的伙伴對(duì)于也感到很意外。

'I've been talking to all my friends who work in magazines, and nobody I know has ever heard of anything like this happening,' she said. 'Especially with a guy. Guys are shirtless on magazine covers all the time.
“我和圈內(nèi)的伙伴交流過(guò)，大家都認(rèn)為這樣事情的發(fā)生非常不可理解，特別是用一個(gè)男模做封面，所有雜志是的男模都是不穿上衣的。”

'[It poses] a very interesting question of gender.'
“這是一個(gè)關(guān)于性別的非常有趣的問(wèn)題。”

Dossier, which sells 20,000 copies per issue, says that the Barnes & Noble and Borders orders represent just under 10 per cent of its print run.
每期銷量在20000本左右的《Dossier》表示，Barnes & Noble和Borders所銷售的雜志所占份額還不到百分之十。

But the booksellers' ruling about the cover has already sparked some negative response.
不過(guò)書(shū)店所作出的要求已經(jīng)獲得了不少負(fù)面的回憶。

An article on Jezebel read: 'Pejic is a man. And pictures of shirtless men, in Western culture, are not considered "obscene." So why is Pejic's cover getting the same treatment as a porno mag?
有文章稱：“Pejic是一位男子，而在西方的文化中上身赤裸的男性并不會(huì)被認(rèn)為是‘有傷風(fēng)化’的，但為何Pejic的封面會(huì)受到如同色情雜志的待遇？”

Styleite added: 'Need we remind you that a crazily buff (and pretty much shirtless) Aaron Schock graces the cover of June’s Men Health? If Andrej were muscled instead of waif-like, would this be an issue?
一家時(shí)尚媒體寫(xiě)到：“不用提醒大家也注意到了議員Aaron Schock在六月份的《Men's Health》封面大秀肌肉，是不是說(shuō)如果Andrej也滿身筋肉的話就不會(huì)有任何問(wèn)題了。”

'More importantly, if Andrej had a more masculine face, would this be an issue?'
“更重要的是，如果Andrej的面容長(zhǎng)得更有男子氣概一些，可能一些都不是問(wèn)題了。”

Mr Pejic, who was raised in Australia, and was discovered while working in McDonalds. He has been hailed the next big thing by fashion industry insiders.
男模Pejic在澳大利亞長(zhǎng)大，在McDonalds打工時(shí)被發(fā)掘，并成為了當(dāng)下T臺(tái)最炙手可熱的模特。

He says he is comfortable modelling both men's and womenswear and aspires one day to model for Playboy.
他表示對(duì)于穿著男裝和女裝走秀感到非常的自在，并且是因?yàn)槌扇穗s志《Playboy》的啟發(fā)才走上模特之路的。

In an interview earlier this year, he said: 'Sometimes I feel like more of a woman, other times I feel male.
在今年早些時(shí)候的一次采訪中，他說(shuō)：“有時(shí)候我感到自己更像是是個(gè)女人，其他時(shí)候則感覺(jué)像個(gè)男人。”

'I'm sure most people think of me as a woman. It doesn't bother me anymore and I feel fine about it... I don't consider my looks unusual.'
“我想大多數(shù)人都把我當(dāng)做是女人看到，對(duì)此我不屑一顧，我認(rèn)為自己的外形是非常不一般的。”

Ms Parrott added: 'The thing about Andrej is, if you see him, he is very, deeply androgynous. But he is also very comfortable with that. It's a shame that everyone can't be as relaxed about it as he is.'
Parrott還說(shuō)：“當(dāng)你看到Andrej時(shí)，是強(qiáng)烈的性別模糊的形象，他自己都能安然待之，那些大驚小怪的人真是非常的不應(yīng)該。”
