校长见状,笑着站起身,主动走上前,热情地欢迎道:“Welcome to USC.”说完,他转过身,对着沈若斐招了招手,温柔地介绍道:“Serena, these two are international students from China. They will be studying at our school for a period of time for mutual exchange.”(欢迎两位来到USC。Serena,这两位是来自中国的留学生,接下来会在我们学校交流学习一段时间。)
那两位留学生也反应了过来,主动介绍自己。 男生率先开口,声音沉稳有力:“My name is Jason Xu。” 女生紧随其后,声音温柔轻柔:“My name is Katie Lin。”
沈若斐轻轻点头,笑着回应:“I'm Serena Shen, nice to meet you.”
校长简单交代了两人的交流学习安排,又告知了他们的宿舍位置,随后看向沈若斐,温和地说道:“Serena, you have spent more time at school and are familiar with the campus environment. So, could you please take the two students for a walk around the campus to familiarize them with the routes?”(Serena,你在学校待的时间比较久,熟悉校园环境,就麻烦你带着两位同学在校园里转一圈,熟悉一下路线吧。)
Linny和Nia听到声音,纷纷抬起头,看到沈若斐,脸上满是疲惫。Nia率先开口,指了指桌上的设计稿,语气带着几分无奈:“We are making some changes to the design of this fitted dress. We feel that something is missing and it doesn't have enough style.”(我们在修改这件修身连衣裙的设计,总感觉缺了点什么,不够有格调。)
时间一分一秒地过去,工作室里很安静,只剩下笔尖摩擦纸张的轻响和三人细微的呼吸声。忽然,沈若斐眼睛一亮,像是想到了什么,抬头看向两人,轻声问道:“What about adding a hat to this piece of clothing would make it even better?”(你们觉得,在这件衣服上,加一顶帽子,会不会更好?)
Linny和Nia对视一眼,脸上都露出了一丝疑惑,随即又陷入了沉思。过了几秒,两人同时点了点头,Nia笑着说道:“It seems worth a try! We've never thought of adding a hat before. Maybe with it, we can achieve a different effect.”(好像可以试试!我们之前从来没有想过加帽子,或许加上之后,能有不一样的效果。)
说干就干,两人立刻拿起画笔和画纸,开始着手修改设计。沈若斐坐在一旁,也没有闲着,改着另一张草稿。
四十多分钟后,Nia率先完成了修改,拿着画稿,快步走到沈若斐面前:“Serena, could you please take a look and tell me if this design is okay?”(Serena,你看一下,我这样设计可以吗?)
沈若斐接过画稿,认真地看了起来。画纸上多了一顶小巧的贝雷帽,虽然简洁,但和连衣裙搭配起来,总感觉有些突兀,而且颜色和连衣裙的配色不太协调,显得有些生硬。她轻轻摇了摇头:“Overall it's good, but the color seems off. It doesn't match the tone of the dress and looks a bit out of place.”(整体不错,但颜色好像不太对,和连衣裙的色调不搭,显得有些突兀。)
Nia闻言,脸上露出了一丝失落,点了点头:“OK, I'll make some more revisions.”(好,我再修改一下。)
Linny紧跟着拿来了画纸。沈若斐接过Linny的草稿,仔细看了起来。Linny设计的是一顶宽檐帽,搭配在连衣裙上,确实比贝雷帽更有格调,但帽子的尺寸太大了,显得有些笨重,和连衣裙修身的版型不太搭配,反而掩盖了连衣裙的优点。她轻轻叹了口气:“The style of the hat is nice, but it's too big and looks a bit cumbersome. It doesn't match well with the shape of the skirt.”(帽子的款式不错,但太大了,显得有些笨重,和裙子的版型不太协调。)
