A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
周围
Around
The best job was when I was at drama school and I cleaned flats in the Barbican. I loved it. They were spotless anyway, so you'd just watch the telly and flick a duster around.
最好的工作是我在戏剧学校的时候,我在巴比肯打扫公寓。我很喜欢。反正它们一尘不染,所以你只要看看电视,掸掸灰尘就行了。
Most actors are starving. Most of us are walking around with a flashlight and tweezers looking for evidence. When you have someone that actually writes an acting role, it's rare.
大多数演员都在挨饿。我们大多数人都拿着手电筒和镊子四处走动,寻找证据。当有人真的写了一个表演角色,这是很少见的。
When something hasn't been around much for a while, and one example of it turns up and catches people's eyes, they go looking for more like it - until they get tired of it again.
当某样东西已经有一段时间不存在了,而其中一个例子出现并吸引了人们的眼球,他们就会去寻找更多类似的东西——直到他们再次厌倦它。
I met a lot of young girls modelling and they were like, 'Oh, I'm running around town and people are taking my picture', while I was saving receipts and learning how to be self-employed.
我遇到了很多做模特的年轻女孩,她们说,‘哦,我在城里跑来跑去,人们在给我拍照’,而我正在保存收据,学习如何创业。
For years I had my hair parted down the middle in a ponytail, tucked down around the sides... Well, I went and cut the bangs, and I've been wearing them ever since. They say it's my trademark.
多年来,我把头发从中间分开,扎成马尾辫,垂在两边……我去剪了刘海,从那以后就一直戴着。他们说这是我的商标。
If you do one good thing, that doesn't define you either. Being around the kids in the juvenile center, they were engaging, they made us laugh but they were there for doing something terrible.
如果你做了一件好事,那也不能定义你。和青少年中心的孩子们在一起,他们很有吸引力,他们让我们大笑,但他们在那里是因为做了一些可怕的事情。
Genius goes around the world in its youth incessantly apologizing for having large feet. What wonder that later in life it should be inclined to raise those feet too swiftly to fools and bores.
天才在年轻时周游世界,不停地为自己的大脚而道歉。有什么好奇怪的,在以后的生活中,它会倾向于把这些脚抬得太快,傻瓜和无聊。
I tried for a while to be an agricultural worker and was hopelessly bored. To me it was meaningless. I would stand around in heaps of manure and sings about the beauty of the work I wasn't doing.
有一段时间,我试着做一名农业工人,但毫无希望地感到无聊。对我来说,这毫无意义。我会站在粪堆里,唱着我没有做的工作的美丽。
I really love idiot, enlightened characters - these characters who fail to engage with the drama of their immediate circumstances; they fail to be reactive and enrolled by drama as it happens around them.
我真的很喜欢白痴、开明的角色——这些角色没有把自己当下的处境戏剧化;他们没有反应,没有被周围发生的戏剧性事件吸引。
There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money, and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you, knowing when to accept their criticism, knowing when to say no.
你必须对抗两种力量。首先是钱,这只是我们的制度。另一种是你身边的人,知道什么时候接受他们的批评,知道什么时候说不。
I love to hang out and talk to people on set, especially when I start a new job to get to know them. I like to learn things from the crew so I sit around and ask them technical questions, when I think of them.
我喜欢在片场和人们聊天,尤其是当我开始一份新工作去了解他们的时候。我喜欢向船员们学习,所以当我想到他们的时候,我会坐在那里问他们一些技术问题。
Actors walk around wearing these little tool-belts of acting skills. And I just don't find that interesting to watch. I never want to see someone who clearly can cry at the drop of a hat. That's so uninteresting.
演员们带着这些表演技巧的小工具带走来走去。我只是觉得这没什么好看的。我从来不想看到一个人明明可以马上哭出来。这太无趣了。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
I sometimes think I've needed a bit of an arm around me in my career - which I've not always got from certain managers and coaches who didn't understand me.
有时候我觉得我的职业生涯需要一些帮助——我并不总是能从一些不理解我的经理和教练那里得到帮助。
When you're around someone good, your own standards are raised.
当你和一个好人在一起时,你自己的标准也会提高。
I'm moving around; doing stuff. I can walk. I can even run.
我移动;做的东西。我可以走路。我甚至能跑。
So that's my philosophy: If you believe in yourself, the chances and the opportunities will come around.
所以这就是我的哲学:如果你相信自己,机会和机遇就会到来。
Sometimes, I do miss how it feels when you're around.
有时候,我真的很想念你在身边的感觉。
My life revolves around music and always will. I need to be a part of music and not an observer.
我的生活围绕着音乐,而且永远围绕着音乐。我需要成为音乐的一部分,而不是一个观察者。
