读完信件,沈若斐高兴地叫了出来:“Micky! Look!”(Micky!你看!)她激动地拉着室友的手,把邀请函和信件递到她面前,“It's an invitation to the fashion show from the owner of the Lunar brand! I previously designed a set of clothes for them, and they invited me to attend the show!”(是Lunar品牌的老板寄来的秀场邀请函!我之前给他们设计过一套衣服,他们邀请我去看秀!)
Micky接过邀请函,大致看了看,脸上也露出了惊讶的表情:“Wow! That's so amazing, Serena! I know Lunar. It's a niche brand, but its design is extremely unique. It's so cool to be invited to their fashion show. I even envy you.”(哇!太厉害了吧Serena!Lunar我知道,虽然是小众品牌,但设计特别独特,能被他们邀请去看秀,好羡慕你啊。)
秀场里很热闹,人们低声交谈着,语气里满是期待,偶尔能听到有人讨论着即将登场的品牌和设计师。沈若斐和林柯宜对着票上的座位,正往里走。 突然一个熟悉的身影突然出现在她们面前。那人穿着一身剪裁得体的深色西装,身形挺拔,气质儒雅,正是Lunar品牌的老板Rochefort。他看到沈若斐,脸上露出了温和的笑容,主动走上前,伸手打招呼:“Serena, it's a pleasure to see you again. I'm very glad that you could come.”(Serena,很高兴再次见到你,你能来,我很开心。)
沈若斐脸上露出了礼貌的笑容,连忙回应:“Mr. Rochefort, thank you for your invitation. It's a great honor for me to be able to attend this show.”(Rochefort先生,谢谢您的邀请,能来参加这场秀,我很荣幸。) 说着,她侧身让出身边的林柯宜,介绍道,“Mr. Rochefort, this is Katie Lin. She is my schoolmate at USC and she is majoring in fashion design. She really loves fashion, so I brought her along.”(Rochefort先生,这位是Katie,林柯宜,是我在USC的学妹,也是服装设计专业的,她很喜欢时尚,我就带她一起来了。)
林柯宜连忙伸出手,礼貌地打招呼:“Mr. Rochefort, I'm Katie Lin. It's a great pleasure to meet you.”(Rochefort先生,您好,很荣幸见到您。)
Rochefort看着林柯宜,脸上露出了温和的笑容,亲切地问道:“Is Katie Chinese too?”(Katie也是中国人吗?) “Yes, Mr. Rochefort, I am also an exchanger from China.”(是的,Rochefort先生,我和学姐一样,都是从中国来的留学生。)林柯宜连忙点头回答,语气里带着一丝拘谨。
Rochefort点了点头,语气里满是赞赏:“I have always highly appreciated the design talent of the Chinese people, which is very distinctive. I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to collaborate more with you and see more of your outstanding design works.”(我一直很赞赏中国人的设计才华,很有特色。希望以后有机会,能和你们多多合作,看到你们更多优秀的设计作品。)
“Thank you for your approval.”(谢谢您的认可。)沈若斐接过话。
Rochefort后撤一步要走,又正过身子:“After the fashion show is over, the entrance stairs might get quite crowded with a lot of people, making it inconvenient for you.”(等下秀场结束后,入场的楼梯可能会比较挤,人会很多,你们不方便。)说着,他指了指秀场角落的一个方向,“Look, the door beneath that sign is the VIP access. It won't be crowded. I'll send you the temporary QR code shortly. Then you can use the code to pass through that door and leave.”(你看,那个灯牌下面的门,是VIP通道,不会挤。我等下把临时二维码发给你,你们到时候可以刷码从那个门离开。)
沈若斐和林柯宜顺着他指的方向看去,上方有一个小小的灯牌,下面印着“VIP通道”的字样。两人连忙道谢:“Thank you so much, Mr. Rochefort.”(太谢谢您了Rochefort先生。)
“Don't worry. Just take your time and enjoy this show.”(不用客气,你们慢慢看,好好享受这场秀。)Rochefort笑了笑,便转身离开了,去招呼其他的嘉宾。
