My Life On The Road——Emma Watson

中文:

大家好,我是艾玛-沃森,我在《美女与野兽》这部电影中扮演贝儿。

 

这不是我第一次来中国,不过这是我第一次来上海,来到这里真是太棒了。

 

首先,我想讲一讲贝儿和我的联系。

 

我们都非常爱书、爱阅读,这可以算作是把我和贝儿连接在一起的一大半线索。

 

一年半以前,因为我实在是太喜欢读书了,我决定开展一个女性读书会,叫做“我们共有的书架”,我在Goodreads这个在线读书俱乐部上为它找了一个家。

 

我喜欢这个平台主要是因为,这里有太多思想的交融、不同的对话与主题,并且是关于不同的书籍。

 

我喜欢阅读人们的观点,并且很棒的一点是,这能够让来自全世界各地的人们一起参与阅读。

 

我热爱吸取来自不同文化的关于男女平等的视角。

 

我最想介绍的一本书,也是我给我的读书俱乐部挑选的第一本书就是《我的生活在路上》,这本书的作者是葛洛丽亚-斯坦能。

 

我选择这本书的原因是,对于我来说,葛洛丽亚是关于男女平等运动的一位启迪者。

 

她是一位记者,是一位社会进步的提倡者,她是一名运动发起者。

 

我觉得,对于那些对女权主义感兴趣的人来说,她是一个很好的切入点。

 

她是一个激进的女权主义者。

 

作为一个激进的女权主义者,我认为在很多问题上,不管是儿童婚姻、女性割礼问题,还是各种各样不同的话题,我认为她总能提供一个非常有趣的视角。

 

这就是我阅读这本书的原因。

 

她写了很多书,但我选中了这一本,因为这里有很多她旅行中的逸闻趣事。

 

作为一个积极分子,我在这本书中最喜欢的一部分是,她记录了她与各种各样的出租车司机的对话。

 

因为不管你们信不信,葛洛丽亚不知道如何开车,并且,她下定决心永远不学习如何开车,因为她实在是太喜欢她和陌生人之间的交集了。

 

在去机场的道路上,或是去买东西的时候,你知道,她把这一切的交集都看作是她获得新的洞察力的入口,这也为她展现了其他人的观点。

 

我喜欢书中一个一个有趣的奇闻趣事,那些她与陌生人的交集。

 

我还非常喜欢她在书中一开始的赠言,事实上,她把这本书献给她在年轻时为她做堕胎手术的医生。

 

她说,如果不是因为那次堕胎,她不会成为今天的这位作家,不会成为今天的这位积极分子。

 

我觉得这非常感人,非常勇敢。

 

真的,我喜欢她介绍这本书时的无畏与诚实。

 

我觉得这真实非常非常了不起。

 

我喜欢它习惯在书中聊很多关于她父亲的事情。

 

她聊到,她与她父亲的关系实际上为她形成对男女平等问题的理解发挥了不可忽视的作用,她不仅仅引发了更多的关于女性的思考,也有关于男性的。

 

男女性力量的碰撞和交集是非常重要的。

 

我非常欣赏她没有因为价值观的不同,就把她的父亲从对话中切断,或者置之不顾。

 

所以我认为这也是一个非常可爱的元素。

 

至于我生活与学习中的灵感来源,天啊,我好爱一些演员们,比如梅丽尔-斯特里普,凯特-布兰切特。

 

事实上,简-方达一直是一位出色的导师和启迪者,她最近成为了我的榜样。

 

她是与葛洛丽亚并列的三位女性之一。

 

另一位杰出的女性叫做罗宾-摩根,她在美国建立了第一个女性机构,或者说女性中心。

 

我觉得她的表现是非常有影响力的,她对我来说是一个绝佳的演员与激进运动者相结合的人物范本。

 

作为一名联合国妇女亲善大使,我觉得玛雅-安吉罗非常具有启发性,我很喜欢她的诗歌。

 

当你度过充满压力的一天,觉得有一些超负荷的时候,读一读像《仍将奋起》这样的诗歌,你就会感觉充满能量。

 

对于观众们,我想说的是,作为一个年轻的女性或者女孩,我们非常容易被告知我们缺乏一些东西,我们缺少一些能力,以及各种各样的理由。

 

但是,我发现对我真正有帮助的,以及在我扮演贝儿的过程中发现的是,你要知道,你应该受到重视。

 

并且,我认为安娜-埃莉诺-罗斯福的一句话与这条建议相关,这条建议就是:不经过你的同意,没有人可以让你自卑。

 

我觉得这对于一个年轻人来说尤为重要,不管对于男生还是女生。我觉得,我的建议就是,永远记得你所拥有的能量。

英文:

Um, So uh, hello, my name is Emma Watson, I played bell in Beauty And the Beast.

 

It’s not my first time here in china, but it’s my first time here in shanghai, and it’s been amazing to be here.

 

First, I want to talk a little bit about the connection between bell and I.

 

We both love books and we both love reading, and that was such a lovely connection to have with my character.

 

A year and a half ago, I actually, because I loved book so much, decided to start a feminist book club called Our Shared Shelf, which I found its home on Goodreads, which is a website.

 

And why I love so much about this way to host it is that there are lots of different threads of different conversations on each of the books.

 

Which I love to read what people are saying and what’s so wonderful is that, that’s really an engagement and readership with people from all over the world.

 

So I love getting lots of different cultures, perspectives on feminism.

 

So the book that I most wanted to talk about was My Life On the Road by Gloria Steinem, which was the first book that I chose for my book club.

 

And the reason I think I chose it was because Gloria for me is as a person as such an icon of the feminist movement.

 

She is a journalist, uh, she is an activist, um, she’s a campaigner.

 

And I think that she’s just a wonderful entry point for anyone interested in feminism.

 

She is a radical feminist.

 

And as a self-defined radical feminist, I just think that the stances that she has taken on lots of different issues like child marriage, female genital mutilation, you know, all sorts of different issues I just think that she always has a really interesting perspective.

 

So, that’s why I read that book.

 

I mean, she has written lots of books, but you know, this one has lots of very interesting anecdotes from her journey.

 

As being an radical activist, one of my favorite parts of the book is when she records different conversations that she’s had with different taxi drivers.

 

Because, believe it or not, Gloria Steinem doesn’t know how to drive and she’s actually adamantly decided not to learn to drive because she loves the interactions that she has with strangers.

 

On the way to airports, or on the way to pick up shopping, or, you know that she sees them as giving her kind of this amazing insight into the world and showing her other perspectives.

 

And I love the often very funny anecdotes that she has about her interactions.

 

I also love her dedication at the beginning of her book, She actually dedicates the book to the doctor, or the man that performed an abortion that she decided to have when she was a young women.

 

Because she says that without this abortion, she would never have become the writer that she is today, the activist that she is today.

 

I find that very moving and very brave.

 

Um, tribute, and I love her kind of boldness and honesty that she uses to introduce that book.

 

I just thought that was really really remarkable.

 

I love that she used to talk a lot about her father in her book.

 

She discusses that her relationship with him actually defining characterize her understanding not just femininity but masculinity and that actually having male role models.

 

And you know, man interact with feminism empowerment is incredible important.

 

And I love that she, you know, doesn’t leave him out of the picture or out of the conversation.

 

So I think that’s a really lovely element as well.

 

In terms of my life and learning and inspirations as an actor, you know, oh Gosh, I mean I love actors like Meryl Streep, um, Cate Blanchett.

 

Uh, Jane Fonda actually has been an amazing sort of mentor or role model to me more recently.

 

She was one of the three women along with Gloria Steinem.

 

And another author called Robin Morgan who set up the first sort of woman’s organization or center in America.

 

And I think her performance is very powerful, too. She’s a good example to me of kind of combining activism and acting.

 

You know, as a UN Women Goodwill Ambassador, I found Maya Angelou to be incredibly inspiring, I love her poems and her poetry.

 

They really um, you know, reading something like Still I Rise when you’re having a day when you feel a bit overwhelmed by the struggle, uh, you know, it’s just kind of like incredible resources.

 

And for the audience, you know, it’s very easy being a young female and a girl to be told a lot that you are somehow lesser or less capable, or, you know, whatever else.

 

But um, I think what has been helpful to me and what I really found through playing Belle is to know that you are a force to reckoned with.

 

And, Eleanor Roosevelt has a really wonderful quote that I think relates to this piece of advice, which is: Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent.

 

And I think that’s especially important to remember as a young person, in general actually, male and female, um, I think to remember your power would be my piece of advice.
