話說Vincent Regan的訪談真是少得可憐,網路如此浩瀚竟然找不到幾篇文章orz
另外我的破英文翻譯大家就加減看看吧,原文如下:
The 5-Minute Interview: Vincent Regan, Actor
Vincent Regan, 41, stars in '300', a film adaptation of a graphic novel by Frank Miller. It has broken box office records in the US and is released in the UK today
If I weren't talking to you now I'd be...
In a furniture and antique shop with my wife, holding my baby girl, Esme. We're moving into a new house at the end of the month and we're looking for furniture. Esme's opinion is being taken into consideration - when she points with both hands that means, "buy it!"
A phrase I use far too often is...
"Do you know what I mean?" And "I understand you". It's as if the other person is talking another language. Of course they know what I mean - of course I understand them!
I wish people would take more notice of...
The fact that for most people most of the time life is worthwhile... but we too often focus on what's bad.
The most surprising thing that happened to me was...
The miracle of having a child. You spend nine months preparing yourself for your wife having a baby. But when you're confronted by a mewling purple thing - it's just amazing.
A common misperception of me is...
That I'm a tough guy. I'm not - I'm really a complete softie.
I am not a politician but...
I wouldn't allow Trident replacement to go ahead.
I'm good at...
Changing nappies. And I'm getting better at exercise since I gave up smoking four years ago.
I'm very bad at...
Paperwork, and sitting down to do serious writing. I procrastinate.
The ideal night out is...
A movie and then a curry with friends.
In moments of weakness I...
Blame someone else.
You know me as an actor but in another life I'd have been...
A writer. Or a farmer. Or maybe a scaffolder! My family were all in the building trade, so I probably would have ended up doing something like that.
The best age to be is...
41. When I turn 42 then 42 will be the best age.
In a nutshell, my philosophy is this:
Carpe diem [seize the day].
這篇訪談日期是2007年3月,因為300在英國上映而做的。
這邊就想碎碎唸一下了。
雖然300讓Vincent Regan聲名大噪(咦?有嗎?),但是也造成一個後果就是拿他的名字去google,只會跳出一大堆300相關網頁,找沒有真正想要的資訊,只能說有一好沒兩好?
不過另外有一個好處就是我不用費心去翻譯啦(被打)
閒話休提,現在進入本文。
這篇訪談是以問答的形式來寫的。
如果我現在不是在和你對談,我會…
我會和我太太跟剛出生的女兒Esme逛傢俱古董店。月底我們就要搬新家了,所以我們現在正在物色傢俱。Esme的意見我也會納入考量--當她雙手一起指著東西的時候就表示"快買下來!"
我太常講的一句話是…
"你懂我的意思嗎?"和"我知道你在說什麼"。好比說別人用外語和我交談的時候。當然了,對方懂我的意思,我也聽得懂他在說什麼!
我希望人們能夠更加注意…
在大多數人的生命裡,大部分的時光都是有價值的…只是我們常常都只把眼光放在不好的事情上。
我所遇過最讓我驚奇的事是…
小孩所帶來的奇蹟。太太懷孕,你花了九個月的時間去作準備。但是當你親眼看到一個啼哭的紫色小東西的時候--那真是令人驚奇。
我最常被人誤解的地方是…
我是個硬漢。我並不是--我的心軟得跟什麼一樣。
我不是政治人物,但…
我不會讓三叉飛彈(好像是種核武)更換措施繼續進行下去。
我很擅長…
換尿布。另外自從我在幾年前戒菸之後,我的體能表現更好了。
我很不擅長…
文書作業,還有要我坐下來寫些正經的文件。寫半天也寫不出什麼東西。
我心目中的歡樂夜是…
看場電影,然後和朋友去吃咖哩。
當我脆弱無助時我會…
怪罪別人。
你知道我是個演員,不過如果走了別條人生路,我會是…
作家,或是農夫。或許是個鷹架工人!我的家族都是作建築業的,所以我最後可能也會作類似的事情。
最棒的年紀是…
41歲。當我42歲的時候,最棒的就會是42歲。
用一句話來闡述我的人生哲學:
Carpe diem (把握今天)
