凯特温斯莱特——永远美丽的女人
如果你没有听过她的名字，那你一定听说过《泰坦尼克号》电影，凯特就是电影的女主Rose，现年已经44岁的她依旧保持美丽优雅，今天就跟随海汇君一起来看看我们的女神保持美丽和优雅的秘密吧！
Being normal is Kate Winslet’s thing. She is an English actress. That means tea and Pringles. No kale juice, goji berries and joyless Hollywood detox lifestyle for her. Nor does she do airs and graces. In the past she went for full-on honesty, talking openly about everything from love to ambition – leading to some knives-out bitchy comments by newspaper columnists.
凯特·温斯莱特是她那一代最有才华的女演员之一，作为英国女演员，往往意味着茶和品客（英国著名薯片品牌）。在她的生活里，没有羽衣甘蓝汁，枸杞和无聊的好莱坞排毒生活方式，也不装腔作势。一直以来，她完全追求诚实，公开谈论从爱情到雄心壮志的每一件事—这导致一些报纸专栏作家对她尖锐的评论。
Career-wise, life has never been better. A serial Oscar nominee, she finally won Best Actress for ‘The Reader’ in 2009. She is terrific in her new film ‘Labor Day’, playing an agoraphobic single mum of a teenage boy. Their lives are turned upside down over one sweltering bank holiday weekend when an escaped murderer (Josh Brolin) walks into their lives. As she says – ‘Just when you think he’s going to slit their throats, he bakes them a cake.’
从事业上而言，她的生活从未如此美好。作为奥斯卡连续提名者，她终于在2009年凭借《生死朗读》获得最佳女主角。在她的新片《劳动节》中非常出色，她扮演一个十几岁男孩的单身妈妈。在一个酷热的银行假日周末，一名逃犯（乔什·布洛林）走进了他们的生活，从此他们的生活完全颠倒了。正如她所说，“当你认为他要割破他们的喉咙时，他会给他们烤蛋糕。”
接下来我们来看看她在访谈中都说了什么？
Q
You have a sixth sense when it comes to picking Oscar-grade films. What’s your secret?
当你选择奥斯卡级的电影时，你有第六感。你的秘密是什么？
A
Honestly, I think it’s just luck. I was 17 when Peter Jackson asked me to be in “Heavenly Creatures”. I’d grown up in a house where we had free school meals and school bus fares were covered by a charitable trust. I learned so much on the job. I got my foot in the door and everything opened up.
说实话，我认为这只是运气。我17岁的时候，彼得·杰克逊邀请我加入《梦幻天堂》剧组。小时候，我有免费学校餐，校车费用由慈善信托支付。我在工作中学到了很多东西。当我开始做什么事情的时候，一切都为我敞开大门了。
Q
You made ‘Heavenly Creatures’ and ‘Sense and Sensibility’ and‘Titanic’ all by the age of 21. Do you feel like you’ve had a charmed life?
你在21岁的时候参演了《梦幻天堂》和《理智与情感》以及《泰坦尼克号》。你觉得你的生活很有魅力吗？
A
I feel like I’ve had a charmed career, without question. I still get terrified in the middle of a film, thinking, oh my God, how am I going play this part. But I have been really blessed. The directors that I’ve worked with just taught me so much, particularly Todd Haynes, who directed “Mildred Pierce”. I learned so much from him.
毫无疑问，我觉得我的事业很有魅力。在电影的中途，我还是很害怕，我在想：“天哪，我要怎么演这个角色。”但我真的很幸运。与我合作过的导演教会了我很多，特别是托德·海恩斯，他执导了《米尔德里德·皮尔斯》，我从他那里学到了很多。
Q
Your character in the film, Adele, is very fragile. She’s agoraphobic and depressed, but she has this incredibly strong love for her son. Was that a tricky balance to strike?
你在电影中的角色阿黛尔，她非常脆弱。她有恐旷症和抑郁症，但她对儿子有着如此强烈的爱。这是一个棘手的平衡吗？
A
I’m so glad you say that, because I did find that she is much challenging. I didn’t want her to be a nervous Nelly for the whole film. And I very much admired her ability as a mother to absolutely put her son first. She’s depressed and yet she’s not moping around in a dressing gown until three, sinking into a bottle of gin. She’s somehow just about pulling it together to raise that lovely boy.
你这么说我很高兴，因为我发现她很有挑战性。我不想让她在整部电影里紧张不安。我非常钦佩她作为母亲把儿子放在首位的能力。她很沮丧，直到三点她才穿上睡衣，喝一瓶杜松子酒。不知怎么的，她只是想坚强振作，抚养那个可爱的男孩。
Q
Some actresses do pretend-drab. They might leave their hair unbrushed to play a character like Adele. You go all-out, greasy hair in a shabby dress. Why be so hard on yourself?
有些女演员确实装作单调乏味。他们可能会为了扮演像阿黛尔这样的角色而不留头发。你一头油腻的头发，穿着破旧的连衣裙，可精力充沛。为什么对自己这么苛刻？
A
I love it! I prefer it. Quite frankly, it’s less to think about. I can just concentrate on playing a character. In “Revolutionary Road” my character April always looked pulled together, so there was a lot of fiddling that went on during the day, hair and make-up. I want to make myself a T-shirt that says: “Don’t make me look nice.”
我喜欢这样，坦率地说，这没什么好想的。我可以专注于扮演一个角色。在《革命之路》中，我的角色April总是看起来很精致，所以白天有很多的琐事，做发型和化妆。我简直想给自己做一件T恤，上面写着：“别让我看起来漂亮。
Q
You moved back to England last year from New York. Does it feel good to be home?
你去年从纽约搬回英国。回家感觉好吗？
A
Yes. But to be honest with you, I never really felt as though I left. We would always come back for summer, Christmas and Easter. There are things that the kids miss about New York –every now and then we get nostalgic for the sound of taxicabs or our favourite little park. One thing I love about being back is English rain. Looking out of the window now, it’s raining and the sky is dark, I love it. To me those are reassuring English things. I love it when it rains.
是的。但老实说，我从来没有真正感觉到我离开了。我们总会回来过夏天、圣诞节和复活节。孩子们对纽约有些怀念的东西——时不时我们会怀念出租车的声音或我们最喜欢的小公园。我喜欢回来的一件事是英国的雨。现在从窗外看去，下雨了，天空很黑，我喜欢。对我来说，这些都是令人舒心的英国专属。我喜欢下雨的时候。
Q
You were 22 when Titanic came out. What stopped you from becoming a Hollywood brat?
泰坦尼克号出品时你才22岁。是什么阻止了你没有成为好莱坞被宠坏的明星？
A
I’m nice [peal of laugher]! Seriously.What would be the point? I was raised to be a decent, polite person and I just could see that with some people they changed, that terrible sense of entitlement can kick in. I never felt that I was in any way entitled to be a little arsehole. I just don’t believe that that’s how you should be in life, famous or not.
泰坦尼克号出品时你才22岁。是什么阻止了你没有成为好莱坞被宠坏的明星？”
答：“我很好！说真的。我从小就被培养成一个正派、有礼貌的人，我看到有些人一旦成名，那种可怕的权利感就会产生。我从来没有觉得我有资格成为傲慢的人。我只是相信不管你出名与否，谦逊只是个人的生活方式。
Q
Does that down-to-earth attitude come from your family?
这种脚踏实地的态度来自你的家庭吗？
A
I think groundedness is definitely something I grew up with. And having a sensible attitude about celebrity is something I learned. Being an actor, being a celebrity and being famous are three entirely separate things. I try to stick to the acting.
我认为我从小就习惯了脚踏实地。对名人保持明智的态度是我学到的。作为一个演员、名人和名人是三件完全不同的事情。我尽量坚持演戏。
Q
Have you become more comfortable and confident about your body as you got older?
随着年龄的增长，你对自己的形体的看法是？你是否变得更加舒适和自信？
A
We have one life. I don’t want to spend my time thinking about the size of my arms. I want to be as healthy as I can be, and I want to have as much fun as I can have. I want to be around for my children. That’s it. Those are the priorities. Not getting a flat stomach. Don’t get me wrong, I like staying fit and healthy, it’s all part of a healthy attitude to life. I don’t think I’m alone in this. I’m seeing more and more curvier actresses out there. And every now and then the fashion world will give us a slightly curvier model. I just believe in being normal and healthy.
我们只有一个生命。我不想花时间去想我屁股的大小。我想要尽可能的健康，我想要尽可能多的快乐。我想和我的孩子们在一起。就是这样，这些是优先事项。别误会我，我喜欢保持健康，这是健康生活态度的一部分，我觉得不止我一个人有这样的想法。虽然我看到越来越多的拥有曲线的女演员，并且时不时的，时尚界会给我们展示一个更苗条的模特。而我只相信保持正常和健康。
Q
How do you think about bitchy attitude towards you in newspapers. This image of you is as too emotional. Does that bother you?
你介意报纸上对你的恶毒态度吗？说你太感情用事了。你不介意吗？
A
Listen. I’m blissfully unaware of it. I don’t read anything. I get on with my life. I can’t really get worried about it. Because what am I going to do about it? I stay away from those things, because there’s just no point. It’s just awfully bullying, really.
我很高兴没有意识到这一点。我什么都没读，我继续我的生活，我真的不担心。因为我该怎么办？我远离那些东西，因为没有意义，真是太欺负人了。
Q
How do you relax?
你怎么放松？
A
Relaxing for me is either hanging out with the kids playing board games or cooking. I love cooking. I’m not one for lying down and having two-hour massages.
对我来说，放松是和孩子们一起玩棋盘游戏或者是做饭。我喜欢烹饪。我可不是那种躺下来两小时来进行按摩的人。
Describe a person you know who is beautiful or handsome
You should say ：
who the person is
When you meet the person at the first time
What is the person’s character
And explain how you think this person is beautiful／handsome
Oh，I have to say this topic sounds simple，but it is not easy to talk about.Off the top of my head, my mom is the person that I’d like to share with you today.I guess I don’t need to tell you how and when I met her,right?
My mom is a teacher who has already retired for 2 years. She is pretty smart, knowledgeable and capable at work. She is well-liked and respected by people around her.Talking about her personality,she is very sophisticated and responsible at work,and very witty and funny when she is with her friends and family.I mean ,in my eyes,she is not only a beautiful woman with fashion taste，but also she has a good sense of humor .
She is an elegant woman with curly hair, fair skin, and a very good body shape. Her eyes are always bright and sparkly,and her smile is very charming as well.I shouldn’t forget to mention that her taste in clothes is fantastic. The clothes she picks can always highlight her uniqueness.
Having said all those things and facts ,however,this is not the main reason why I think my mom is beautiful.The way I see it,my mom is very beautiful because of her intelligence,her capacities,her personality and her spirit.She reads a lot and knows a lot.I feel like there is nothing she doesn’t know.She always tells me to have a positive attitude toward life,and pay efforts to do what I should do.She used to say“It is your attitude，not your aptitude，will determine your altitude”.And that is how she influences me with her spirit.
She has a great sense of humor,by saying this I mean she can tell you some interesting stories and you can never feel bored when you are with her .She is just a charming person.She makes me realize that having a beautiful soul and mind is so much more than having a beautiful face.That is how she has been educating me,she always tell me that having an independent spirit and a positive mind is priceless,and it will draw people in.I think she is right.
Thanks for listening.
