One of the defining sights of Comic Con is this: fans dressed up in their favorite costumes. And it's not just comic book characters like Captain America here. 動漫展的特色景象之一就是動漫迷穿戴著自己最喜歡的戲服，這不只是像美國隊長這種漫畫人物而已。
Can you guess who these guys are? 你猜得出這些傢伙是誰嗎？
You're looking at rebel pilots from Star Wars, of course. And this guy is dressed up as Snake from the Playstation 3 game Metal Gear Solid 4. 當然你看到的這些就是星際大戰的叛軍飛行員，而這位老兄裝扮成 PlayStation 3 遊戲《潛龍諜影 4》裡的史耐克。
But not all costumes are as easy to identify, like this next one. And I have to admit we're not too sure what this costume is supposed to be. 但可不是所有的裝扮都這麼容易辨識。就像這一個，我必須承認我們不是很確定這裝扮到底是什麼。
So if you got an idea send me a tweet. I'm @klustout. 如果你知道，寫個推文給我，我的網址是@klustout。
But what motivates people to dress up like their favorite movie character, or well, like a slab of bacon? Well, let an expert explain. 是什麼激勵人們想把自己打扮成最愛的電影角色，或像是一塊厚片培根呢？就讓專家來說分明吧。
A thief with an affinity for leather. A gun-toting archaeologist. A megaphone-wielding psychopath. 喜好真皮的小偷。揹著槍的考古學家。揮舞著擴音器的精神病患。
I'm an assassin. I'm a Gear. Actually, I'm Meagan Marie, and I'm a cosplayer. 我是刺客，我是步兵，其實我是梅根‧瑪麗，我是個角色扮演玩家。
Cosplay without a doubt is a craft; it encompasses so many different forms of art-- 角色扮演無疑是一項工藝，它包含了多種不同形式的藝術，
painting, sculpture, clothing design... learning how to do all these different skills... it's a challenge, and it's something I absolutely enjoy. 繪畫、雕刻、服裝設計等等……學習這些不同的技巧……這是一種挑戰，也是我完全樂在其中的事。
When you put on one of these costumes, it is literally instantaneously empowering. It's such a high. 你穿上這些服裝時，真的頓時就有種被賦予力量的感覺。
Anya is one of... well, she's one of the only female... she was one of the debut females in the game Gears of War. 恩雅是……她是唯一的女性……她是電玩《戰爭機器》裡最早出現的女性之一，
And I was just always drawn to her by her latent strength. And she's just always this very multifaceted character. 我總是被她潛在的力量所吸引，她就是這樣多才多藝的角色。
Four years ago when I started coming to Comic Con more seriously, I decided to look for a makeup artist, and I found Hydred. 四年前我開始比較認真參與動漫展的時候，我決定要找個化妝師，我找到了海德蕾。
She puts that final little bit of polish on your costume and really makes everything pull together wonderfully. 她在服裝上做一點最後的修飾，就讓整件作品絕妙地融為一體。
I think that it's a disservice to work so hard on a costume and then just have a couple of snap shots from a... you know, with bad lighting from your camera phone of your costume. 我覺得，你這麼努力地完成一次裝扮，就拍這麼幾張照片，而手機相機拍攝裝扮的光線又很差，這真是瞎忙一場。
You want to be able to show it to the world. 你會想要能向全世界展示。
So I knew that there was a battleship, the USS Midway, right in San Diego Bay. 我知道有一艘戰艦「中途島號航空母艦」停在聖地牙哥灣，所以我們今天去了那裡。
So we showed up there today. We tried to do some calling ahead and then showed up today for a photo shoot 我們事前設法通知大家，然後今天來這裡拍照，
and they let us on the ship and we got to pose with various props and against the planes and it was really... to date, 他們讓我們登艦，我們站在飛機前搭配不同的道具擺姿勢，這真的很……到目前為止，
I've done quite a few shoots for my costumes; it was absolutely the most successful and the most fun and exciting to do. 我已經拍了好些裝扮照片，那一次肯定是最成功、最好玩又刺激的經驗。
I love comic books. I love video games. I've always wanted to be a superhero somehow, and costume play, cosplay, let's you do that. 我愛漫畫書，我愛電玩，我一直都想以某種方式成為一個超級英雄，而角色扮演就能讓我做到。
