昔日頂級“天使”吉賽爾·邦辰新書披露離開維密內幕大綱

2018維密大秀即將開場，如今的維密內衣秀上不再會有世界頂級超模吉賽爾·邦辰的身影，不過，她的影響力猶在。當初大紅大紫的邦辰爲何會選擇離開維密公司呢？她在自己的新回憶錄中吐露了原因。

With the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show approaching, models are preparing to don their wings and lingerie for the runway.

一年一度的維密時裝秀又要開始了，模特們正準備戴上翅膀、穿上內衣，上T臺走秀。

For one of the brand’s most influential angels, however, the show is a reminder of her former life.

但是，對於維密影響力最大的一位天使來說，維密大秀只會點燃過往的回憶。

In Gisele Bündchen's new memoir Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, the supermodel reflects on her incredible career modelling for Victoria’s Secret - and how she made the surprise decision to leave.

在吉賽爾·邦辰的新回憶錄《人生教訓：我如何過上有意義的生活》一書中，這位超模回顧了自己爲維密內衣做模特的璀璨職業生涯，以及當初離開維密的那個驚人決定是如何做出的。

Bündchen was just 19-years-old when she signed a commercial contract with the lingerie brand - when there was still a “strong division” between being a fashion model and modelling for a catalogue company, she explains in her book.

邦辰和維密簽下商業合約時只有19歲，她在書中解釋道，當時作爲時裝模特和爲郵購商店做模特之間仍然有一道“巨大的分水嶺”。

At the time, she was “so happy” for the opportunity and financial security that came with it.

那時候，邦辰“很高興”能獲得這個工作機會以及隨之而來的經濟保障。

Although she later became the highest-paid supermodel in the world for 15 consecutive years, in her early years of modelling, Bündchen revealed that her yearly paycheck from Victoria’s Secret made up 80 percent of her annual income.

儘管邦辰後來連續15年成爲世界上收入最高的超模，但是邦辰透露，在她剛出道時，維密給她的年薪佔據了她年收入的80%。

However, despite making a name for herself as one of the brand’s most recognizable models, Bündchen eventually grew tired of the lifestyle and the demands that came with being an angel.

不過，儘管邦辰已經聲名顯赫，成爲維密最具辨識度的模特之一，但是最終她厭倦了這種生活方式和做維密天使的種種要求。

"For the first five years, I felt comfortable modelling in lingerie, but as time went on, I felt less and less at ease being photographed walking the runway wearing just a bikini or a thong,” she wrote. “Give me a tail, a cape, wings - please, anything to cover me up a little!”

她寫道：“在最初的五年裏，我覺得做內衣模特挺好，但隨着時間流逝，我覺得在鏡頭前走T臺只穿比基尼或丁字褲越來越不自在。給我一個尾巴、披風或翅膀吧——求你了，任何可以遮蓋自己的東西都可以！”

So by the time the supermodel was set to renew her contract in 2006, she was conflicted.

所以，2006年當這位超模需要續簽合同時，她很矛盾。

"I was certainly grateful for the opportunity and the financial security the company had given me, but I was at a different place in my life, and I wasn't sure I wanted to continue working there," Bündchen writes.

邦辰寫道：“我對維密公司給我的機會和經濟保障當然很感恩，但我已經進入了人生的另一個階段，我不確定是否還想繼續在那裏工作。”

To help her make up her mind, Bündchen relied on an unconventional method - she “crumpled up two small pieces of paper” with the words “yes” and “no” on them, “and placed them inside an empty teacup.

爲了幫自己下定決心，邦辰用了一種非傳統的方式——她將兩張分別寫着“是”和“不”的小紙片揉成團，然後將紙團放在空茶杯裏。

"I closed my eyes and set an intention: whatever piece of paper I chose would be for my highest and best self and be the right decision,” she explained.

她解釋說：“我閉上眼睛，心中暗想：無論我選的是哪張紙，都是爲了成爲最高尚最好的自己，是正確的決定。”

And although the chosen piece of paper ended her career with Victoria’s Secret, the supermodel said she’s “at peace” with the decision - as it was the answer she “unconsciously wanted to hear.”

儘管選中的那張紙結束了邦辰在維密的生涯，但是邦辰說自己對這一決定“很安心”，因爲這是她“潛意識裏想聽到的”答案。

Though the model is no longer a part of the annual event, her legacy continues to influence the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury told People that Bündchen is the inspiration behind the "sun-kissed" looks the models will be wearing at this year's show, so it looks like she'll be there in spirit.

儘管邦辰已經不再是維密年度大秀的一員，但是她對維密時裝秀的影響依然存在。化妝師夏洛特·蒂爾伯裏告訴《人物》雜誌說，邦辰是今年維密秀上“太陽吻過的”妝容的靈感來源，所以看起來邦辰的靈魂依然會出現在那裏。
