《但丁密碼》（Inferno）的導(dǎo)演朗·霍華德說她是“年輕的女版湯姆·漢克斯”，而且是一個“非常有建設(shè)性的合作者”。選中她代言旗下系列彩妝產(chǎn)品的著名品牌杜嘉班納（Dolce&Gabbana）這樣評價她：“她既是典型的傳統(tǒng)美女，又具有現(xiàn)代審美吸引力。她的臉上有性感、有自信、有美艷，組合在一起產(chǎn)生出一種令人著迷的神奇的矛盾感。她的目光中透著無畏，簡直不能讓人忽視她的眼睛。”——她就是近年來快速崛起的英國女演員菲麗希緹·瓊斯。

菲麗希緹從小就對表演有興趣，11歲時曾出演電視劇《淘氣小巫婆》（The Worst Witch）里的角色。出道以來，她參與了二十余部電影的拍攝，演技日漸成熟，其中尤以《愛瘋了》（Like Crazy）里的表現(xiàn)收獲了無數(shù)點(diǎn)贊。2016年是她的高產(chǎn)年，她參演的四部電影相繼與大家見面，但人們絲毫不會對她的漂亮臉蛋感到厭煩，因?yàn)樗趲撞坑捌袑Σ煌巧某錾堇[著實(shí)能給觀眾帶來非一般的感受。

On Early Acting Desire

Host A:And so, you wanted to act always?

Felicity:Yeah! When I was growing up I used to spend a lot of time just talking to myself in my bedroom, so I think my parents thought, you know, there’s obviously a2)buddingactress up there who just talks to herself a lot, and creates characters and so I think there was early signs of madness and…

Host A:Uh huh.

Felicity:…obviously led to acting.

On Like Crazy

Host B:Right now you’re at such a high in your career and so much3)acclaimfor this performance. Is there an experience that you had earlier in your career that made you think that you could really be onto something special with acting?

Felicity:It would have to be when I worked with a director called Drake Doremus. We made a film called Like Crazy together. It was always really closed, small sets,4)intimatesets, only a few people around, not breaking it up, doing lots of make-up and hair checks. It was very much just concentrated time, just to get involved in the scenes, and I hadn’t really worked in that way before. And also, it was5)improvising, and I had never done that, but I’ve since loved that and love doing that in films, like Theory of Everything, bringing the6)spontaneousinto…into moments, not always7)sticking tothe script, ’cause you can get something more interesting sometimes.

作文素材常積累：菲麗希緹·瓊斯——When you’re a young actor, there’s this pressure to rush. But I hope to be doing this into my sixties and seventies, so I’d prefer to take my time. 演藝界向來是大多數(shù)人熱衷于追求快速成功的地方，似乎稍稍放慢腳步就會錯過一輩子。難得的是，早早進(jìn)入這個圈子的菲麗希緹保持著清醒的頭腦，腳踏實(shí)地，以自己的節(jié)奏發(fā)展自己的演藝事業(yè)。在這個社會飛速發(fā)展的時代，我們也要學(xué)會把握自己。

詞組學(xué)習(xí)：as a result (of)：

這個詞組是表示結(jié)果最常用的一個表達(dá)方式，在書面語言和口語中都很常見，含義很簡單，就是表明一事是另一事的結(jié)果，在使用或理解上屬中性，沒有褒貶之分。使用as a result時，原因通常已經(jīng)在上文（上個句子或前面的分句）表述，而as a result of則通常把因果都放在同一個句子里，如：

· The boss became very unreasonable.As a result, he had to leave.（老板變得非常不理智，因此，他只好離開。）

·As a result ofwhat happened, we decided to change the rules.（鑒于已經(jīng)發(fā)生的情況，我們決定改變規(guī)則。）

人們已經(jīng)無法阻止菲麗希緹·瓊斯的腳步了。這位女演員剛剛獲得了牛津大學(xué)的學(xué)位，而且她參演的四部電影將在年底前上映：即將上映的《星球大戰(zhàn)》冒險系列《俠盜一號》、動作驚悚片《急速之巔》、根據(jù)帕特里克·內(nèi)斯的兒童小說改編的《怪物來敲門》，還有朗·霍華德執(zhí)導(dǎo)的最新影片《但丁密碼》。

關(guān)于早年的表演欲望

主持人甲：這么說，你一直都很想當(dāng)演員？

菲麗希緹：沒錯！在我成長的那些年里，很多時候我會躲在臥室里自言自語，所以我想我父母會覺得，你知道，樓上顯然有個處于萌芽狀態(tài)的演員，她總是跟自己對話，并臆想出各種角色，所以我覺得那就是表演狂熱的一種早期癥狀，而且……

主持人甲：嗯，嗯。

菲麗希緹：……無疑，我由此走上了表演之路。

關(guān)于《愛瘋了》

主持人乙：現(xiàn)在你的演藝事業(yè)達(dá)到了這樣的高度，而且你在《萬物理論》的表現(xiàn)收獲了如此多的稱贊。那么在事業(yè)的初期，有沒有什么經(jīng)歷讓你確實(shí)能在表演上獲得些重要經(jīng)驗(yàn)?zāi)兀?/p>

菲麗希緹：那應(yīng)該是在我和德雷克·多雷穆斯導(dǎo)演一起拍片的時候。我們一起拍了一部電影叫《愛瘋了》。一切都很緊湊，場景不大，是一個融洽的小圈子，人數(shù)不多，不需要時不時分別拍攝，也不需要過多的化妝，或者經(jīng)常整理發(fā)型。我們的精神都非常集中，全副心思都在戲里，而我以前從未經(jīng)歷過那樣的工作方式。而且當(dāng)時的表演還有即興發(fā)揮——我此前從來沒有這樣做過，但從那以后我就愛上了這種表演方式，到現(xiàn)在依然喜歡在影片里這樣做，比如在拍攝《萬物理論》時，我不時會自由發(fā)揮，而不是一直謹(jǐn)守劇本，因?yàn)橛袝r候你可以得到更為有趣的效果。

關(guān)于選擇角色

主持人丙：《但丁密碼》這個故事帶給你的不僅僅是工作機(jī)會或是片酬，更重要的是參與電影的拍攝？

菲麗希緹：沒錯！沒錯！毫無疑問！我……我一直在尋找各種故事，能讓我在某些方面心生共鳴的故事。故事會有觀眾嗎？有沒有在哪怕是某個非常微小的地方，正好讓當(dāng)下的人們覺得十分有意思呢？所以，我覺得我是在努力尋找能夠直擊內(nèi)心的角色，那種讓人覺得表演起來會很有趣的角色。

關(guān)于《星球大戰(zhàn)》

主持人?。耗銣?zhǔn)備好了嗎？你已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好，而且完全明白——我猜你已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好了——當(dāng)《星球大戰(zhàn)：俠盜一號》上映后會發(fā)生什么事情嗎？你可能會再也無法入睡……從電影上映伊始直到……直到你入土為安，無論你走到哪里，你都會被一大群星戰(zhàn)迷所包圍。菲麗希緹：嗯，我覺得慢慢地我好像……我慢慢地融入了這個群體。最近我們收到了一盒鐳射玩具槍，那玩意，我不得不說，真是前所未有地好玩，而且讓人難以置信，特別是待在家里時，可以拿著它到處走動。我和男朋友一起時，會用假鐳射槍互相射著玩。

主持人丁：所以你們也在變成星戰(zhàn)迷……

菲麗希緹：確實(shí)如此！

菲麗希緹：我正在融入這個群體。我和他們是一國的啦！
