【话匣子英语】珠宝设计师西娜
哈皮请来了西娜，西娜的妈妈曾经是珠宝设计师，她因此而对珠宝设计感兴趣。长大后在日本留学，同时也从事珠宝设计。
Sheena: Sure. My name’s Sheena. I’m from the east coast 1 of Canada, a place called
Nova Scotia, and I’ve been living here in Montreal for about nine months
now, and before that I moved from Japan where I was living for about three
and a half years. Yeah, I was in Japan teaching 2 English and also making
Harp 4: Wow, OK! So, I went to your website 5 today and your jewelry designs are
amazing. So tell me, you went to school for jewelry design or how did you
get started?
Sheena: Yes. Well, actually my mother was a jeweler when I was a child, and she
stopped when I was about eight years old. So, it was always something that I
was a little bit interested in, but it was in the back of my mind. But I started
studying art at university, and when I was in my second year I started to try
the jewelry program and I realized that it was something I liked and I did a
major in jewelry design and metalsmithing and I graduated in 2004.
Harp: So, where do you draw inspiration 6 for your pieces?
Sheena: I’ve lived in a lot of different places, so I get a lot of inspiration from the
people that I’m around and the way that people interact 7 when they’re in
situations where they don’t have language or when they can’t communicate
using words. So body language, or the way that people interact with one
another, also nature, different forms, patterns 8 that I may see from plants, ice,
sand. Things like this.
