?? 与美妆博主佐拉共进午餐Lunch with the FT: Zoella来源：FT中文网 2014-09-19 06:55 Never before in my career has my daughter begged me to obtain the autograph of anyone I have interviewed. Prime ministers, generals, business chiefs? They’ve all been greeted with blank stares. But when she heard I was meeting Zoella, my 13-year-old was immediately thrown into a veritable froth of excitement. “You mustn’t forget, dad,” she texted me firmly as I headed off to Brighton for my lunch with the 24-year-old fashion and beauty blogger. 在我的职业生涯里，我女儿从来没有要求我向任何采访过的人索取签名。不管他们是总理、将军还是商界领袖，全都受到了一视同仁的无视。但当我这个13岁的小孩听到我将和佐拉(Zoella)会面时，她立刻陷入了一种欣喜若狂的状态。“爸爸，你可千万别忘记！”在我将去与这位24岁的时尚和美容博主共进午餐时，女儿坚决地发了这样的短信给我。 Before leaving she’d given me the full benefit of her wisdom on the subject of my lunch companion.

Not only do I know quite a lot about Zoella herself – online big sister, agony aunt, ultimate style guru and key to the hearts and minds of millions of avid, not yet cynical, young shoppers, I am also tolerably well informed about AlfieDeyes, PewDiePie, Tanya Burr and the rest of the YouTube vlogging (video blogging) “Brit crew”. 正因如此，当我到达莫德罗会所(Modelo Lounge)，一家有点荒凉的海边咖啡馆时，我觉得我已经做好了准备工作。我知道很多关于佐拉自身的事--她是一位在线大姐、心理咨询阿姨、终极时尚专家以及吸引了数百万狂热、尚未变成愤青的年轻消费者的关键人物。不仅如此，我也对阿尔菲?德耶斯(AlfieDeyes)、PewDiePie、塔尼娅?伯尔(Tanya Burr)和YouTube影客(视频博客)的“英国帮”(Brit crew)有着相当程度的了解。 If you don’t have children of a certain age, these names may mean nothing to you. But they are small-screen catnip to teenagers, in much the same way that BBC television stars such as John Noakes and Tom Baker were in my 1970s childhood. 如果你没有在某
