M: Linda, you work on plays and shows but you are not on stage. What do you do?

W: I'm a costume designer. I have the actors become their characters.
W: 我是一名服装设计师。我让演员成为他们的角色。
M: Is it a kind of like playing dresser?
M: 这有点像装扮游戏?
W: A little bit. But I need to study the play to create the characters' clothes, not just use my imagination.
W: 有一点。但我需要研究这部戏来创造角色的衣服,而不仅仅是发挥我的想象力。
M: How do you do that?
M: 你是怎么做到的?
W: I read the play and do research about the time and place of the story. If the story is set in the past, I might study old magazines or paintings. For plays set in now, I sometimes collect pictures of people on the street.
W: 我阅读了剧本,并对故事的时间和地点进行了研究。如果故事发生在过去,我可能会研究旧杂志或绘画。对于以现在为背景的戏剧,我有时会收集街上人们的照片。
M: Then what do you do?
M: 那你做什么?
W: I take my ideas and pictures to the director of the show. We talk about whether I'm on the right track. If it’s good, we will hire a tailor to make the costume.
W: 我把我的想法和照片带给了节目的导演。我们谈论我是否在正确的轨道上。如果它是好的,我们将雇一个裁缝来做这套服装。
M: Is it finished then?

W: Almost. We still need to try on the actor to make sure everything fits and looks good.
W: 差不多了。我们仍然需要试穿这位演员,以确保一切合身,看起来不错。
M: Wow, it takes so many steps to make a costume.
M: 哇,做一套服装需要这么多步骤。
W: Yes, it does. I work with lots of different people to put it all together.
W: 是的,确实如此。我和很多不同的人一起工作,把它们放在一起。
