Virginia Postrel: The power of glamour

譯者: Coco Shen 審譯者: Geoff Chen

You might be wondering why I'm wearing sunglasses,

你可能會疑惑為什麼我戴著太陽眼鏡

and one answer to that is, because I'm here to talk about glamour.

其中的一個答案就是因為我今天的主題是魅惑。

So, we all think we know what glamour is. Here it is.

我們都以為自己知道魅惑是甚麼

It's glamorous movie stars, like Marlene Dietrich.

一個魅力十足的電影巨星，就像 Marlene Dietrich

And it comes in a male form, too --

也有男性。

very glamorous.

非常迷人。

Not only can he shoot, drive, drink -- you know, he drinks wine,

不僅僅因為他可以射擊，開車-- 他也喝酒

there actually is a little wine in there --

照片裡也真的有酒

and of course, always wears a tuxedo.

當然，他總是穿著燕尾服

But I think that glamour actually has a much broader meaning --

但我認為，魅惑實際上有一個更廣泛的含義

one that is true for the movie stars and the fictional characters,

不但實現在電影明星和虛構人物身上

but also comes in other forms.

但也出現在其他形式。

A magazine?

一本雜誌？

Well, it's certainly not this one.

那麼，它肯定不是這一個。

This is the least glamorous magazine on the newsstand -- it's all about sex tips.

這是報攤上最缺乏魅力的雜誌 - 全是性愛祕訣

Sex tips are not glamorous.

性愛祕訣無關魅惑

And Drew Barrymore, for all her wonderful charm,

和茱麗芭摩爾，雖然她很迷人

is not glamorous either.

但那仍然不是魅力

But there is a glamour of industry.

這個產業裡有一種特定的魅力

This is Margaret Bourke-White's --

這是 Margaret Bourke White

one of her pictures she did.

所照的照片

Fantastic, glamorous pictures

神奇，迷人的照片

of steel mills and paper mills and all kinds of glamorous industrial places.

鋼鐵廠和造紙廠和各種魅力的工業場所。

And there's the mythic glamour

從車庫創業

of the garage entrepreneur.

也帶有一種神奇魅力

This is the Hewlett-Packard garage.

這是惠普車庫。

We know everyone who starts a business in a garage

我們都知道誰從車庫開始創業

ends up founding Hewlett-Packard.

最終最後成立惠普。

There's the glamour of physics.

有物理的魅惑

What could be more glamorous than understanding the entire universe,

有什麼比了解整個宇宙更具魅惑呢

grand unification? And, by the way, it helps if you're Brian Greene --

全體合一，如果你是 Brian Greene 更好

he has other kinds of glamour.

他擁有其他種類的魅力

And there is, of course, this glamour.

還有，當然，這種魅力

This is very, very glamorous: the glamour of outer space --

這是非常，非常迷人 - 太空的魅惑

and not the alien-style glamour,

不是外星人的魅惑

but the nice, clean, early '60s version.

而是美觀大方，乾淨，60年代初的版本。

So what do we mean by glamour?

那麼，我們所說的魅惑究竟是甚麼

Well, one thing you can do if you want to know what glamour means

如果你想知道魅惑的意思

is you can look in the dictionary.

可以去查字典。

And it actually helps a lot more if you look in a very old dictionary,

如果你看的是一本非常老的字典就更好了

in this case the 1913 dictionary.

在這種情況下，1913年的字典。

Because for centuries, glamour had a very particular meaning,

因為數百年來，魅惑 (glamour) 有一個非常特別的意義，

and the word was actually used differently from the way we think of it.

我們使用它的方式和我們思考它的方式不同

You had "a" glamour.

你有魅力

It wasn't glamour as a quality -- you "cast a glamour."

這不只是一種質感 - 你還得使用它

Glamour was a literal magic spell.

魅惑就像是一種魔咒

Not a metaphorical one, the way we use it today,

不只是一種隱喻，像我們今日的用法

but a literal magic spell associated with witches and gypsies

而是一種真的魔法，像巫婆和吉普賽人

and to some extent, Celtic magic.

並在一定程度上，凱爾特人魔術。

And over the years, around the turn of the 20th century,

這些年來，在20世紀之交，

it started to take on this other kind of deception --

它開始帶著一種欺騙

this definition for any artificial interest in, or association with,

像是對一個虛假的，不實放大或美化的物件

an object through which it appears delusively magnified or glorified.

產生虛假的興趣或與其有關

But still, glamour is an illusion.

但儘管如此，魅惑是一種錯覺。

Glamour is a magic spell.

魅惑是一個神奇的咒語。

And there's something dangerous about glamour

魅惑還有些危險

throughout most of history. When the witches cast a magic spell

縱觀大部分的歷史，當女巫對你

on you, it was not in your self-interest --

施咒

it was to get you to act against your interest.

那往往是與你心相悖的

Well of course, in the 20th century,

嗯，當然，在 20 世紀，

glamour came to have this different meaning associated with Hollywood.

魅惑因為好萊塢有了全新的定義

And this is Hedy Lamarr.

這是 Hedy Lamarr

Hedy Lamarr said, "Anyone can look glamorous,

她說，"任何人都可以迷人

all you have to do is sit there and look stupid." (Laughter)

只要坐著裝笨就行了。"

But in fact, with all due respect to Hedy --

我們稍後還會繼續提到 Hedy

about whom we'll hear more later -- there's a lot more to it.

和他的言論，與我們今天的主題息息相關

There was a tremendous amount of technical achievement

有許多驚人的科技發展

associated with creating this Hollywood glamour.

和創造這種好萊塢魅惑有關

There were scores of retouchers and lighting experts and make-up experts.

有燈光師、化妝師和修片師

You can go to the museum of Hollywood history in Hollywood

你可以到好萊塢歷史博物館

and see Max Factor's special rooms that he painted different colors

看看 Max Factor 為了不同膚色的明星

depending on the complexion of the star he was going to make up.

所設計的特殊房間，牆上的不同顏色

So you've got this highly stylized portrait of something

於是你得到了這種高度設計的人像

that was not entirely of this earth -- it was a portrait of a star.

不完全屬於這個地球，而是一張明星的相片

And actually, we see glamorized photos of stars all the time --

試試上，我們時常看見這些造假的魅惑巨星照

they call them false color.

他們稱之為假彩色

Glamour is a form of falsification,

魅惑是一種形式的弄虛作假，

but falsification to achieve a particular purpose.

為達到某種特殊目的

It may be to illuminate the star; it may be to sell a film.

可能是哄抬明星，或是為電影行銷

And it involves a great deal of technique.

它涉及了大量的技術。

It's not -- glamour is not something --

這不是 - 魅惑並不自然

you don't wake up in the morning glamorous. I don't care who you are.

無論你是誰，你都不會一醒來就如此具有魅力

Even Nicole Kidman doesn't wake up in the morning glamorous.

就算妮可基曼也不能

There is a process of "idealization, glorification and dramatization,"

它總是要經過理想化，美化和戲劇化，

and it's not just the case for people.

不只針對人物

Glamour doesn't have to be people.

魅力不只限於人物
