我是一名系谱学家
I am a genealogist,
系谱学是一种收藏

你收藏的是祖先
and what you collect is ancestors.
我做了一个布尔克家族的册子
I did a book on the Burck family
1841年来到美国

我其实从来没出过汉密尔顿郡

我的小儿子罗伯特住在纽约市

很多次人们告诉我
A lot of times, people tell me,
"哦我住在纽约市"

我说"真的吗你认识我儿子吗"

that he was going to be rich and famous.
罗伯特上的是当地的一个天主教小学
Robert went to a Catholic local grade school.
他有一小段时间得过厌食症
He actually, for a short period of time, had anorexia.
因为身体形象的问题
And what that is, it's a body image issue.
但是经过几次心理辅♥导♥
But with some counseling
和父母的关心
and, uh, concentration from his parents,
他真的把厌食问题转化成另一个不同的问题
he actually turned that issue into a different issue.
他打算成为一个健美运动员
He was going to become a bodybuilder,
那是他第一次尝试变有钱和出名
and that was his first attempt to try to be rich and famous.
他总是把目标设定很高
He always set his goals very high,
当他想成为健美运动员后
and when the Naked Cowboy who wants to be a bodybuilder--
目标马上就是环球先生
right away the goal is Mr. Universe--
几年后他决定
after a few years, he decided,
可能我没法靠健美
"You know, maybe I'm not going to make a lot of money
赚很多钱
being a bodybuilder."
因为他的好体形
Because of his good physique,
人们会雇他
people would hire him to go with them

on a date or whatever.
他做起了一个很小应招的生意
He started up a very small escort business.

I was serving on the Village Green Hills Council,
所以时不时有让人不安的
and, uh, so it was somewhat disconcerting

有个摄影师朋友建议
so this photographer friend of his suggests,
"你为什么不把衣服脱掉
"Why don't you take your clothes off?
反正你已经在一个沙滩海滩上了"
You're on the beach anyway."
这一举动非常成功
It was very successful,
摄影师说
and the photographer says,
"看你是赤♥裸♥牛仔"
"Look, you're the Naked Cowboy."
这引起了我的关心
That caused me some concern.
这么做是有道德的吗

I have no people in any way whatsoever
都没有"赤♥裸♥"
in my entire genealogy
或者"赤♥裸♥表演"的词语
