A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
表演者
Performer
What is a good performance? It lies in the hands and head of a performer... the shortest way between two people is not a straight line.
什么是好的表现?它就在表演者的手中和头上……两个人之间最短的路不是一条直线。
My singing wasn't horrible, but my dancing really made it look silly. It's not like I'm a horrible singer that can't sing. But I don't have the consistency or the presentation skills that a good performer has.
我的歌声并不可怕，但我的舞蹈真的让它看起来很傻。我又不是一个不会唱歌的糟糕歌手。但是我没有一个好的执行者所具有的一致性和表达技巧。
A lot of athletes have star quality, but they just can't perform in front of a camera. So no matter how good-looking you are, no matter what kind of presence you have, you still have to be able to be a convincing performer to become a star.
很多运动员都有明星的素质，但他们就是不能在镜头前表演。所以，不管你有多漂亮，不管你有什么样的风度，你仍然要成为一个有说服力的表演者，才能成为明星。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
In order to be a star performer you have to have someone to play against.
为了成为一名明星演员，你必须有一个对手。
I'm a performer.
我是一个演员。
I've always been a singer, but I don't know if I was always a natural performer.
我一直是个歌手，但我不知道我是否一直是个天生的演员。
I became a performer because it was what I enjoyed doing.
我成为一名演员，因为这是我喜欢做的事。
I don't want to be the oldest performer in captivity... I don't want to look like a little old man dancing out there.
我不想成为囚禁中年龄最大的演员……我不想看起来像个跳舞的小老头。
What the translator - myself in particular - does is not comparable to what the Homeric performer was doing.
译者——尤其是我自己——所做的与荷马式的表演者所做的是不可比拟的。
