A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
字符
Character
There's something to play if there's conflict going on. Whatever that conflict is, that's where drama is; if the character is grappling with something you've got something to play, there's layers to it.
如果发生冲突，就会有办法解决。无论冲突是什么，这就是戏剧的所在;如果角色正在与你要玩的东西做斗争，那是有层次的。
Many novelists take well-defined, precise characters, whose stories are sometimes of mediocre interest, and place them in an important historical context, which remains secondary in spite of everything.
许多小说家把定义明确、精确的人物置于重要的历史背景中，而不管发生什么事，历史背景都是次要的。
As always, with acting, you can't be too self-conscious. You shouldn't care about what people are thinking about you at the time because they're not caring about you, they're caring about the character.
像往常一样，在演戏的时候，你不能太难为情。你不应该在意别人当时对你的看法，因为他们并不在乎你，他们在乎的是你的性格。
I think by that time I knew where Chewie was going, and he left me to do what was called for, because the character had been well established. You know, it was like putting on a second skin by that time.
我想那时我已经知道楚伊要去哪里了，他让我去做该做的事，因为这个角色已经确立了。你知道，那时候就像长了第二层皮肤。
You know, we have to take these characters - who, granted, have their separate personalities but, on a lot of levels, are pretty two-dimensional - and make them into people with flaws, with insecurities.
你知道，我们必须把这些角色——当然，他们有各自独立的个性，但在很多层面上，都是相当二维的——塑造成有缺陷、有不安全感的人。
I try to find what is closest to me in the character. There's many sides to personality, but it's a matter of, do you entertain those specific areas of your personality, or are you afraid to entertain them?
我试图在角色中找到最接近我的东西。性格有很多方面，但问题是，你是在娱乐你性格的那些特定领域，还是害怕娱乐它们?
Especially when you play a character for so many years, the character ends up reflecting a lot of who you are and I think I've changed a lot since then, but that represented a lot of who I was as a teenager.
尤其是当你扮演一个角色这么多年，这个角色最终会反映出你是谁，我想从那时起我已经改变了很多，但这也代表了我十几岁时的很多样子。
You have to suspend disbelief a little bit to buy into your situation and to the story and to how the character will react. You have to tweak your credibility a little bit, is basically what it comes down to.
你必须暂时不去怀疑自己的处境、故事以及角色的反应。你必须稍微调整一下你的可信度，基本上归根到底就是这样。
I cannot and will not cut my conscience to fit this year's fashions, even though I long ago came to the conclusion that I was not a political person and could have no comfortable place in any political group.
我不能也不会为了迎合今年的时尚而削减自己的良心，尽管我很久以前就得出这样的结论:我不是一个政治人物，在任何政治团体中都不会有舒适的位置。
Highly educated young people are tutored, taught and monitored in all aspects of their lives, except the most important, which is character building. When it comes to this, most universities leave them alone.
受过高等教育的年轻人在生活的各个方面都受到指导、教育和监督，除了最重要的一点，那就是塑造品格。说到这一点，大多数大学都不理会他们。
My only requirement for that first story was that there had to be a fight or an explosion on every page. Naturally, no one wanted to publish it, but I liked the character, did a few stories to keep my hand in.
我对第一个故事的唯一要求是每页都要有打斗或爆炸。自然，没人想出版它，但我喜欢这个角色，写了几个故事来控制自己。
Well, everybody knew their character. I was the only one who didn't have a partner. I basically showed up when people got in trouble. Where I came from, I don't know. Nobody knows. But I would show up to help.
每个人都知道他们的性格。我是唯一一个没有伴侣的人。我基本上是在人们遇到麻烦的时候出现的。我来自哪里，我不知道。没有人知道。但我会去帮忙的。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
人生要么是一场大胆的冒险，要么什么都不是。面对变化，像自由的灵魂一样面对命运，这是不可战胜的力量。

When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.
当你不清楚一个人的性格时，看看他的朋友。
I choose my friends for their good looks, my acquaintances for their good characters, and my enemies for their intellects. A man cannot be too careful in the choice of his enemies.
我根据他们的美貌选择朋友，根据他们的人品选择熟人，根据他们的智慧选择敌人。一个人在选择敌人时再谨慎也不为过。
Conscience is doubtless sufficient to conduct the coldest character into the road of virtue; but enthusiasm is to conscience what honor is to duty; there is in us a superfluity of soul, which it is sweet to consecrate to the beautiful when the good has been accomplished.
毫无疑问，良心足以引导最冷酷的人走上美德之路;热情之于良知，犹如荣誉之于责任;我们身上有一种多余的灵魂，当美好的事物完成后，把它奉献给美丽的事物是很甜蜜的。
I prefer the rather old and battered, things with character, to the brand new.
比起全新的东西，我更喜欢那些旧的、破旧的、有个性的东西。
