JosephGordonLevitt_2019-_获得关注的渴望是如何削弱你的创造力的_-
First of all , thank you for your attention. 首先,谢谢大家的关注。
First of all:adv.首先;
There's nothing quite like being in a room full of people like this, where all of you are giving your attention to me. 还没什么比得上在这个 全是人的屋子里面, 你们所有人都在关注着我。
It's a powerful feeling, to get attention. 获得关注是一种强大的感觉。
I'm an actor, so I'm a bit of an expert on, well, nothing, really. 我是个演员,所以我对什么都懂得不深,真的。
(Laughter) （笑声）
But I do know what it feels like to get attention -- 但我倒是知道被关注是什么感觉——
I've been lucky in my life to get a lot more than my fair share of attention. 我这一生足够幸运 得到比我应得的更多的关注。
And I'm grateful for that, because like I said, it's a powerful feeling. 并且我对此充满感激, 因为如我所说,这是种强大的感觉。
But there's another powerful feeling that I've also been lucky to experience a lot as an actor. 但还有另一种强大的感觉 是我作为演员也足够幸运 能体验很多东西。
And it's funny, it's sort of the opposite feeling, because it doesn't come from getting attention. 这点很有趣,这是一种相反的感觉。 因为它不是来自获得关注。
It comes from paying attention. 它来自予以关注。
When I'm acting, 当我表演时,
I get so focused that I'm only paying attention to one thing. 我专注到我只关注一件事情。
Like when I'm on set and we're about to shoot and the first AD calls out "Rolling!" 就像在片场,我们要开始拍摄的时候, 第一个词叫做“开机！”
And then I hear "speed," " marker ," "set," 然后我听到“录音常速”,“打板”,“就位”,
marker:n.记分员;书签;标识物;作记号的人;
and then the director calls "Action!" 再然后导演喊“开拍！”
I've heard that sequence so many times, like, it's become this Pavlovian magic spell for me. 我已经听过这些好多次了, 对我来说这已经是习以为常的魔咒了。
sequence:n.顺序; v.按顺序排列; Pavlovian:adj.经典条件反射的;
'"Rolling," "speed," "marker," "set" and "action." “开机”,“录音常速”,“打板”, “就位”和“开拍”。
Something happens to me, I can't even help it. 发生在我身上的事情, 我甚至都无法控制。
My attention ... 我的注意力……
narrows. 变窄了。
And everything else in the world, anything else that might be bothering me or might grab my attention, it all goes away, and I'm just ... there. 世界上的其他事物, 任何可能会打扰我或 吸引我注意力的东西, 全消失了,我只是……在那里。
bothering:v.使某人烦恼或担忧;打扰;(bother的现在分词) grab:v.攫取;霸占;将…深深吸引;n.攫取;霸占;夺取之物;
And that feeling, that is what I love, that, to me, is creativity. 那种感觉,是我所爱的, 那,对我而言,就是创造力。
And that's the biggest reason I'm so grateful that I get to be an actor. 这是我非常感激成为演员的最大理由。
So, there's these two powerful feelings. 所以,有两种强大的感觉。
There's getting attention and paying attention. 那就是获得关注和给予关注。
