38岁来自路易斯安那州的Aevin Dugas 38-year-old Aevin Dugas, from Louisiana,
有着一头世界上最大的爆炸头型 has the world's largest afro
大小为惊人的4英尺4英寸 measuring a staggering 4 foot and 4 inches around.
我的头发真正自然蓬松长达14年之久 It's been 14 years since I actually went natural.
我一度努力想让头发变直 One time I strived to get the hair that was straight
但现在我希望它又大又蓬松 and now I want it big and poofy.
吸引公众所有的注意力 To get all the attention in public
它总是一件好事 - it's always a positive thing.
人们不像是会对我说些刻薄的话 It's not like people really come up and say anything mean.
通常 之所以我的头发遮住了脸部 Usually, that's why my hair's in my face
是因为它有点像是在保护着我 because then it kind of protects me
让我感觉更舒适自在 and makes me feel a little more comfortable.
Aevin小的时候就开始蓄发 Aevin has been growing her hair since she was a child
三年前她实现了获得世界吉尼斯纪录的梦想 and 3 years ago achieved her dream of securing a Guinness World Record.
第一次测量是在2010年 The first measurement in 2010,
我想是4英尺4英寸左右 I think it was 4 feet 4 inches around.
我不确定它会长得多大 I'm not sure how big it could get,
但我会尽量让它继续留长 but I mean I'll try as long as I can.
那是你真实自然的头发 That's you're real natural hair
-姑娘 真的很漂亮 -谢谢 -Girl, that's real nice -Thank you
当她创下世界纪录时 With the world record under her belt,
无论去哪她都能成为焦点 这点并不奇怪 it's no surprise she attracts attention wherever she goes,
并且她为其他人带来了灵感 and has become an inspiration to others,
比如她的美发师Toby Johnson like her hairdresser, Toby Johnson.
这是我见过的最棒的头发 This is the greatest hair I've ever seen.
它很自然 非常漂亮 It is natural and just beautiful
太美了 It's beautiful.
基本上可以说是Aevin激发我走自然路线的 Basically Aevin inspired me to go natural.
当我看见她时 我就像是... When I saw her, I was just like…
它还是很大 你知道吗 it was still big, you know
我内心有想躺在里面的感觉 Part of me wanted to lay in it.
虽然Aevin喜欢她的头发为她带来的关注 Although Aevin enjoys the attention her hair has brought her,
护理好它却并非易事 taking care of it isn't an easy job.
需要花一天半时间才能将它弄干 It would take a day and a half for it to dry,
几乎两天时间 人们以为我在开玩笑 almost 2 days, like people think I'm joking,
我记得一个周日洗头发的时候 I'm remember washing my hair on a Sunday…
我将它编成辫子 让它自行晾干 I put it in braids, I let it dry,
到了周三晚上 它仍然是湿的 on Wednesday night, it was still damp.
Aevin最近发展有了一段长期的恋爱关系 Aevin has recently come out of a long-term relationship
她担心她的头发 and she worries that her hair could distract men
会分散男人对她的了解 when getting to know her.
我想如果我看见我们确实走的更近 I guess it would be one of those things
它会是其中一个因素 that if I see that we're actually getting close,
你懂的 上升到另一个程度 我会像是说 you know, moving onto another level, I'll be like,
"顺便说一下 你知道的 我有一头硕大的头发" "Oh hey, by the way, you know, I have really big hair".
我告诉过一个男孩 他被震惊到了 I did tell one guy and he was shocked
然后他上网搜索我 像是说"真厉害" and he Googled me and was like, "Oh wow",
当我再次见到他时 他顶了一个爆炸头 and when I saw him again, he was wearing a fro.
她创下的世界纪录带来了强烈的反响 And she's had a great response to her world record.
事实上我家乡乡亲们的反应非常积极 The reaction in my hometown was actually very positive.
所有人都为我而骄傲 他们不停地说 Everybody was just so proud of me and they kept saying,
"你是一个名人了" "You're a celebrity", like,
别那么说 我只是有巨大的头发而已 do not call me that, I just have big hair.
然而 Aevin爆炸头最初的灵感源自于 However, the original inspiration for Aevin's afro came
她看见一张她妈妈和一个60多岁的人的合影照 when she saw a photo of her mother with one in the 60s.
当她说她喜欢她出生前我自然的头发时 I am really proud and humbled by the fact that she thinks
我真的感觉很自豪 it's because she liked my natural hair way before she was born.
创下吉尼斯纪录后 And with her place in the record books secured,
她目前还没有计划把头发剪了 she has no plans to take a trim just yet.
我会把头发剪了吗 Do I see myself cutting my hair
不 不会的 No, I don't think so.
把头发校直不会改变我的本质 Me straightening my hair wasn't gonna change who I am,
我仍然是那个Aevin you know, I'm still Aevin,
我仍然是一个非洲裔美国人 I'm still an African-American and as far as, you know,
在头发里喷放化学产品 -有什么意义呢 putting chemicals in my hair - what's the point?
