INTERVIEW
JOHN LORING
是总编，也是总监，亦是代言人
文：***** 图：*****
TIFFANY(“TY”)设计总监JOHN LORING(“JL” for short below)先生无时无刻都是一位编辑。二十九年来，他每天都要【编辑】设计师的作品，决定哪个拿去生产部，哪个抛进废纸箱。编辑TY的历史档案也是日常工作，为的是搜集写书的素材。其实，编辑是他的副业，写书才是他的正职。由1979年起至今天，他已为TY完成了21部作品，涉猎的题材包括餐桌摆设、婚宴派对、食谱、节日庆典、已故设计师、蒂芙尼家族、花卉珠宝、摄影和各式珠宝素材，应有尽有。还有一个题材我最想看的，而他似乎未有计划要写的，就是他自己了。作为一位史上最多产的珠宝设计总监，一切关于珠宝历史、设计风格，一切有关TY的，我们想知道的，永远比他想象的多。
问：去年出版的《TIFFANY COLORED GEMS》是你为品牌撰写的第21本著作，与1981年出版的首部作品《THE TIFFANY TABLE SETTINGS》相比，感觉有什么分别？
答：每完成一本书，你都会学懂多一点。正如你为杂志撰写文章，每一次你会走出自己的世界，代入另一个世界，这个过程是一种学习。我相信，绘画的经验也是同出一辙。
问：当年你加入TY是当设计总监的，为什么会有著书的念头？
答：我跟JACKIE ONASSIS认识很久，她是DOUBLEDAY出版社的编辑，我是《ARCHITECTURA DIGEST》纽约分社的总编。她跟TY的总裁WALTER HOVING关系友好，为品牌历史撰写书籍是她的念头，也是她大力促成的。JACKIE认为TY这个品牌在推动美国文化上扮演重要角色，借着文字向大众推广TY在不同艺术范畴展现的美国风格是一个很好的机会。就是这样，我跟美国史上其中一位第一夫人合作了15个年头，我是作者，她是我的编辑。
问：那么你对TY的历史一定了如指掌了。
答：写书对我来说像完成一幅JIGSAW PUZZLE，每一本书的题材是其中一块拼图，累积的数目越多，便越能看出画中的景物。TY书籍的对象除了每一位员工，还有普通大众。当我第一天来上班，我们有七间专卖店，大概900名员工。二十多年后，全球专卖店的数目已增至200间，员工数目9000人。只有将品牌的历史理念、经营哲学和发展方向写成文字，集结成画，才可真真正正令所有人明白，不管他们是现在看，还是留待日后细阅品味。我认为书本不单是为品牌员工而制作的，而是让我们了解美国珠宝银器的设计风格。我常常自嘲地想，如果TY是一所大学的话，我一定是NO.1 PROFESSOR; 如果她是一所文化的庙宇，那我一定是HIGH PRIEST了。

INTERVIEW
JOHN LORING
Chief Editor, Design Director, and Spokesman
Interviewer: ***** Photographer: *****
Mr. John Loring, Tiffany’s Design Director, has been an editor from start to finish. For the past 29 years, he has been editing designers’ works everyday, deciding what will be sent to the production department, and what will be thrown in the trash. His daily chore consists of editing Tiffany’s historical archives, which provides much of the material for his books. Actually, being an editor is only his part-time job. Writing books is his true occupation. From 1979 to this day, he has completed over 21 works for Tiffany. The subjects dabbled in include: table settings, wedding banquets, cookbooks, holiday celebrations, past designers, the Tiffany family, flowered jewelry, photography, an assortment of patterned jewelry,and just about anything else you can think of. There’s still one topic I'd like to look at the most, which is something he never planned to write about: himself.
Everything we want to know about him as one of the most prolific jewelry designers in history, anything having to do with the history of designer jewelry and design style, and all about Tiffany's, is more than one could ever imagine..
Question: Last year’s published book, Tiffany Colored Gems, is the 21st trademark book you composed. In comparison to 1981’s debut work, The Tiffany Table Settings, what do you feel makes them different?
Answer: Every time you write a book, you learn a little more. Just like in writing a magazine article, every time you leave your own personal world and enter into another, this process is a type of education. I believe the experience of painting is similar in nature.
Question: You first joined Tiffany’S as a design director, what made you want to start writing?
Answer: I’ve known JACKIE ONASSIS a long time now, she’s the editor for the publishing house DOUBLEDAY,and I’m chief editor of the New York branch of ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST. She was on good terms with CEO WALTER HOVING. Writing a series of books on the brand’s history was her idea, and she also energetically facilitated the whole thing. JACKIE thought Tiffany’S played a major role in promoting America’s culture,and using words to let everyone know that America’s very style is embodied in Tiffany’S, just as a different art category, was a good idea. It was in this way I was able to cooperate with one of American history’s First Ladies for 15 years. I’m the author, she’s the editor.
Question: So you must be familiar with Tiffany’S history inside and out?
Answer: To me, writing a book is like completing a jigsaw puzzle,every book’s subject is like a piece of the puzzle. The more pieces you accumulate, the more you're able to see the picture’s landscape. So the target of the Tiffany series of books is not only staff and personnel, but also the general public. On the first day I started work, we had seven outlets with around 900 employees. About 20 years later, that number had increased to 200 outlets and 9000 employees on the globe. Only by taking the historical concepts of the brand, business philosophy, and development direction, and compiling them into books, can every person really start to understand, regardless if they read it now or save it for another day. I think books are not only created for the brand’s employees,but to also help us understand America’s silver and jewelry design style. I often mock myself and think,if Tiffany was a university, I would definitely be No.1 professor; if it was a cultural temple, I'd definitely be the high priest.

这个学期没有毕业？如果你想要在这个学期毕业，那么你必须在上个月（五月）月底就完成了那6000字的论文”， 但是我想你并没有及格，因为你和大部分的本科生一样，根本就没有足够的时间去写透彻的论文和准备完满的答辩，因为海外教育学院并没有提前适当的时间给出论文要求。这样的话，现在加入我们，不用再等一年到明年2008，你下个学期还有毕业的机会。
想要早点毕业吗？下学期就是个机会。你不需要学习满4年才能毕业，只要你在中国有工作经验，而且有足够的学分，然后写好论文，你就可以毕业了。如果你不想多等一个学年才毕业，那么下学期毕业是个不错的机会。
不想着急赶论文？ 计划下个学期再毕业的学生将会有足够的时间来准备一份比较理想的论文，因为你可以在暑假的时候准备好论文，然后回来学校就可以毕业啦。你不需要像现在这样，要一边去上课，学习，准备期末考试，还要一边准备论文，太辛苦。 | Translation - English
Didn’t graduate this semester? Your 6000字thesis had to be finished by the end of May. If you are like most graduates this semester, you probably didn’t have enough time to write an in-depth thesis and/or prepare for the thesis defense (because the OEC did not give out thesis requirements in a mannerly time). So you may not have passed. If this is the case, don’t wait a whole year (until Fall 2008), you can still graduate next semester.
Want to graduate early? You do not HAVE to be here 4 years to graduate. Some people are surprised they can graduate a year early. If you have some job experience in China and have enough credits, then you probably already qualify to graduate. So there’s a chance you could graduate next semester.
Don’t want to rush your thesis? Some students planned writing their thesis during summer vacation, then return, and graduate next semester, thus having time to write a complete and thorough thesis. Those writing thesis’s needn’t attend classes, but what if they WANTED to attend classes, learn, study, AND graduate? Many find it too stressful or not fair. Sacrifice studying to write a thesis or sacrifice graduating to study and go to class. | | English to Chinese: Thesis - History | Source text - English
Everyone knows Christopher Columbus discovered America. It’s what we, as Americans, are all taught in grade school. As history dictates, he was an Italian explorer who sailed the Atlantic Ocean in 1492, whose mission was to find a route to India to increase trade traffic. On October 12, 1492 he and his crew spotted and landed on what we now know as America. When he first set foot on American soil, he was greeted by local natives, and thus Columbus, assuming he was in India at the time, gave them the name “Indians.” However, there are stories, some theoretical and some factual, of dozens of others that could have arrived before Christopher Columbus, like a European Viking by the name of Leif Ericsson who first landed on the shores of America around the year 1000 AD. It’s now commonly accepted among historians and scholars that Christopher Columbus was not the very first non-native to reach America. Why is this not re-taught in history books? Simply because we don’t know who did. There is proof, lots and lots of it, that Columbus was certainly NOT the first, but it’s getting this proof dated and linked to what country and civilization that seems to be the current problem. | Translation - Chinese
大家都知道克里斯托弗・哥伦布是第一个发现美洲的人，这是我们美国人在小学学到的。据史书记载，他是个意大利探险家，1492年，为了寻找一条让他的国家跟印度增加贸易往来的路，而航行了大西洋。在1492年10月12日他和他的船员看到并登陆到现在的美国。当他第一次踏上美国的土壤时，那边的本地人热情的欢迎他们的到来，因而哥伦布假想他当时就在印度，并给他们取名为“印地安人”。不过还有别的故事，有些是理论的，有些是事实，也许在克里斯托弗・哥伦布之前已经有许多其他人到过这里，象利夫・埃里森[Leif・Ericsson]，一个北欧海盗，在公元1000年左右首次登陆美国海岸。现在的历史学家和学者普遍接受克里斯托弗・哥伦布不是第一个到达美国的非本土人。那为什么历史书没有重新编写呢？说到底只是因为我们不知道究竟是谁。有许多的证据表明哥伦布一定不是第一个，但是重要问题就是如何获取证据的日期以及这些证据和什么国家和文明相关联。 |
