Para.1-2 Introduction of Bill Cunningham
A white-haired old man riding an ordinary bicycle around the streets of New York, always wearing the same blue workers jacket and simple black running shoes. If you saw him, you’d never think there was anything remarkable about him. And yet every member of New York's wealthy high society wanted nothing more than to pose for this man.
一位白发老人总是穿着一件蓝色工装夹克和样式简单的黑色跑鞋,骑着一辆普通的自行车在纽约街头穿梭。如果你看到他,你不会觉得他有任何引人注目的地方。然而,纽约富裕的上流社会中每一个人都想着对他摆姿势、请他拍照。

Para.1-2 Introduction of Bill Cunningham
This ordinary-looking man was Bill Cunningham, one of the most important American photographers of the last 50 years.
这位看起来普普通通的人就是比尔・坎宁安,美国近五十年来最重要的摄影师之一。

2.pose for为..摆姿势

Para.3-4 What made him great?
What made Cunningham so great? It certainly wasn't the use of expensive technologically-advanced equipment. Cunningham always used simple, relatively cheap cameras and took all his pictures on the streets of New York, not in a studio.
是什么使得坎宁安享有如此盛誉?当然不是因为他用了昂贵先进的设备。坎宁安总是使用简单、相对便宜的相机,他所有照片的拍摄地都是纽约的街道,而不是摄影棚。

Para.3-4 What made him great?
Nor was it a wide range of contacts and connections. Although he always knew where fashionable parties and events were happening,Cunningham liked to photograph ordinary people in the poor Bronx as much as VIPS in rich Manhattan.
也不是因为他交友广泛,识人无数。虽然他总是知道时尚聚会和大型活动举办的地点,但无论是对于在贫穷的布朗克斯拍摄普通人,还是在富裕的曼哈顿拍摄贵宾,他都同样喜欢。

Para.3-4 What made him great?
These things were real, and it was within their reality that Cunningham saw both beauty and potential. Through his fascination with what people were wearing, and not who they were, he opened the doors of fashion to everyone-fashion as he saw it belonged to the people, not just to high society and big brands

Moreover, what made Cunningham great was his devotion to photography, and the hours and hours of sheer hard work he put into his work. Cunningham would go out onto the streets of New York each and every day, regardless of the weather. He would even stay outside in a storm, not coming back until he knew he had the right photos. He hardly ever took a day off and not once stayed home sick. This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected within his photos. This is what makes them so special.
Para.3-4 What made him great?
此外,坎宁安的伟大之处还在于他对摄影的奉献精神,以及他在工作中投入的大量时间和精力。不管天如何,坎宁安每天都会走上纽约的街头。甚至在暴风雨时,他也会待在外面,直到他认为自己已经拍摄到满意的照片才回家。他几乎从未休过一天假,也从未因病待在家中。我们可以从他的照片中看到这种奉献和努力。这就是使得这些照片如此与众不同的原因。

Para.7 Cunningham’s passion for photography
His hard work made him more than a fashion photographer-he was a"cultural anthropologist”,who we can thank for recording the life of a whole city and its people over half a century. Bill Cunningham was an observer, and not one of the observed, a worker not a star- and this was how he wanted it.
他的辛勤工作使他不仅是一名时尚摄影师一一他更是一位“文化人类学家”,我们感谢他记录了整个城市及其人民长达半个世纪的生活。比尔・坎宁安是一位观察者,而不是一位被观察者,是一名劳动者而不是一个明星----而这正是他想要的。
