真:I always love it when people write me and say "I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference."
我喜欢人们写信告诉我:“我的心情糟糕透了,但当我走进电影院看了一部你的电影,一切都不一样了。”
Beautiful系列排比句其实是幽默大师Sam Levenson说的,赫本很喜欢这位大师,所以经常引用他的话。
▌玛丽莲·梦露 Marilyn Monroe
假:Well behaved women rarely make history.
循规蹈矩的女人极少能创造历史。
真:My one desire is to do my best, the best that I can from the moment the camera starts until it stops. That moment I want to be perfect, as perfect as I can make it.
我唯一的渴望是做到最好,从摄像机开拍到结束,竭尽全力。在那一刻我要做到最完美,尽我所能地完美。
第一句其实来自于普利策获奖作者Laurel Thatcher Ulrich。由于错误引用太多,作者甚至专门写了一本叫做“Well Behaved Women Rarely Make History”的书。
