英语晨读TED演讲系列：外貌并非一切(3)

The next question is, "Do they retouch all the photos?" And yeah, they pretty much retouch all the photos, but that is only a small component of what's happening. I hope what you're seeing is that these pictures are not pictures of me. They are constructions, by a group of professionals, by hairstylists and makeup artists and photographers and stylists and all of their assistants and pre-production and post-production, and they build this. That's not me.

retouch  /ri:'tʌtʃ/ v. 润色；修整（图画或照片）

He said the photographs had been retouched. 

他说这些照片已被修整过。

component  /kəm'pəʊnənt/ n. 组成部分

Trust is a vital component in any relationship. 

在任何关系中，信任都是一个至关重要的因素。

construction  /kən'strʌkʃ(ə)n/ n. 构造；结构

下一个问题是，“他们会修饰所有的照片吗？”是的，他们几乎对所有的照片进行了润色，但这只是所发生的一小部分事情。我希望你们看到的不是我的照片。它们是人为构造，由一群专业人士完成的，由发型师、化妆师、摄影师、造型师以及他们所有的助手、前期和后期制作人员造就的。那不是我。
