奧斯卡影后海倫米蘭(Helen Mirren)演過巫婆、羅馬女皇、家庭主婦、刺客,甚至連英國女王伊麗莎白二世都演過。這次在新作《美味不設限》中,她化身為嘴賤不用錢的餐廳主廚,為了讓餐廳更卓越、菜色更創新,除了和別人鬥嘴之外,她還罵出不少經典名言!

不過今天我們要看的不是她在劇中的罵人語錄,而是她生活了69年的人生智慧,聽聽究竟年過半百的海倫米蘭對於人生,有什麼不一樣的看法:

“I don't believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you're spending your time doing something worthwhile.”
「我不相信就算你做好事了,好事就會發生。每件事情都是隨機的,有時候壞事也會降臨在好人身上,好事也有可能會發生在壞人身上。但如果你在做好事,至少你花費的時間是值得的。」
“You Can’t control how other people see you or think of you. But you have to be comfortable with that.”
「你不能控制別人要如何看待你。但是,你要學著依然自在過日子。」

“I don't think it's good to try and change anyone. The trick and the mystery - of relationships and life in general - is to learn to live with the bits you don't like.”
「我不認為試圖改變別人這件事值得嘗試。一般來說,感情和人生最神秘、最狡猾的地方就在於:試著學習和你不喜歡的東西相處。」
“Two phrases I hate in reference to female characters are 'strong' and 'feisty.' They really annoy me. It's the most condescending thing. You say that about a three-year-old. It infantilises women.”
「我最討厭大家形容女性角色的兩個單字就是”堅強”和”好勝”。這兩個字讓我看了很不順眼,簡直就是在貶低人嘛。這些詞是拿來對三歲小孩講的,不要把女人當小孩看待好不好。」

“The trick in life is learning how to deal with it. ”
「人生的訣竅就是學習如何處理好它。」
“There's no good way to waste your time. Wasting time is just wasting time.”
「沒有什麼詞可以把”浪費時間”這四個字講得好聽點了,因為浪費時間就是在浪費時間。」

“The control and understanding of our personal fears is one of the most important undertakings of our lives.”
「能夠控制、瞭解自己的恐懼,是人生最重要的事情。」
“We're all idiots when we're young. We don't think we are, but we are. So we should be.”
「每個人在年輕的時候都是蠢蛋。我們永遠都不覺得自己是白癡,但我們就是。所以就當個蠢蛋吧!」
海倫米蘭在2003年授封為大英帝國女爵,今年二月更領取了英國影藝學院的電影成就獎,但是比起記得她得過幾個獎項,不如把她說過幾句你也覺得有道理的話牢記在心中吧。
