BC兩則平面訪談

最近關於Benny的訪談多的不得了！沒劇看但有照片有新聞可以看，也算是見幸福的事吧？
我只挑我覺得比較有趣的部份來分享^^




先是一份超級無敵長的訪問，真是練習英文的好範例Q_Q

Benedict Cumberbatch: The uncensored ‘Sherlock’ interview
網址點這裡。

記者問Benny關於新拍攝的兩部電影有沒什麼可以透露的，
Benny："......And “The Hobbit” was wonderful and might be ongoing, but I’ve just done my first bit on it. It’s brilliant. It’s really fun."所以Benny差不多要準備再去陪Martin剪羊毛了嗎:D 其實之前Benny提到他為了拍攝Smaug所需要的影像捕捉，還特地跑去動物園觀察動物...那時就猜Benny應該還會再回去呢^^

記者問到這麼多版本的Sherlock，Benny倒是順便跟Downey Jr.告白了XD
Benny：I want it as an excuse to just knock on Downey Jr.’s door because I’m staying quite near his office in Venice [California, while Cumberbatch is filming “Star Trek”] and I just want to knock on the door and go, “I think we should have a cup of tea. We should maybe have a cup of tea and talk about this. It’s quite an odd moment in pop culture. Actually, it’s an excuse to talk to you, really, on my part, because I’m a huge fan. Hello!”
喔！Benny！快去吧！要知道，鋼鐵人卸下面具，也不過就是...

接著是我最喜歡的一段了！
Q:So are you prepared to be a breakout star here?

Benny: Um. Uhhh ... yeah. [Laughs.] 這孩子真的好可愛!:D

It’s weird. I really have enjoyed, over the last few days, the anonymity I’ve got in this city. I think a lot of people do. There’s this famous story about Marilyn Monroe just walking with a friend down Fifth [Avenue] and no one’s stopping and her friend going, “Why isn’t anyone recognizing you?” And [Marilyn says], “Oh, I’m just not turning it on.” And then she just threw her head back a bit, popped her chest out [makes the same motion], threw her bum back a bit and just — did the walk.

And everyone just — [makes a crash sound] traffic stops. “Marilyn!” You know, the whole thing came to a halt. Not saying that I can do that. [Laughs.] I can’t stop traffic on Fifth Avenue, not unless I walk in front of an oncoming cab.

No, I think I’m definitely ready for it. I’ve been doing this for 10 years. I’m just very excited about the opportunities that that level, a bigger audience, gives you.That’s all it is, really. It’s another source of work and another level of work. It’s not — people look at being in big films as sort of the zenith of it, and it’s not, it’s really not. For me, every single job is a new beginning, a new starting point where you can learn again and begin again. It’s never, “I’ve made it.” I mean, I’ve had the most extraordinary year, don’t get me wrong. I count my blessings every day — it’s been wonderful. But I try to treat each job as a job, no matter what scale it is. And I think otherwise, it can get quite overwhelming if you start really believing in your own press, good or bad, and you could go a little bit insane. As long as you’ve got those around you who are traveling with you spiritually or physically, whether it’s your other half or your friends and family, you’ve just got that base that’s making sure you’re checking in with who you are and that they know you’re all right. Then yeah — it’s just a great adventure.

我喜歡Benny這樣的回答。感覺他正在努力適應同時也享受他的名氣（這絕對是他應得的！），但他同時也很小心翼翼的面對這種享受可能帶來的虛榮心，所以他會提醒自己把自己該做的工作做好。我喜歡他一直強調工作，既然是工作，就要把最好的一面呈現出來，因此會更加提醒自己要小心把它努力完成。我也喜歡他用冒險來形容，因為冒險，所以內心會充滿著驚奇與感動，當然也會有失意或困頓的時候，但對於未知的嚮往，終究會引導你向前...^^

接下來這段則讓我有些心疼。
Q:As your profile rises, which is more fearsome: The British tabloids, the American press or —
人家還沒說完，Benny就急著回答：Definitely. British.
Q:Or— 
Benny:Definitely. No, come on, it was so bad. No, I’m sorry, what were you going to say?
Q:I  was going to give you a third option: The Tolkien and “Star Trek” fans.
Benny:I don’t know — it’s interesting. The New York Times thing I did, James McAvoy had a quote in it, and he said, “Oh, Benedict doesn’t need to fear the media or his fans or his new profile, he just needs to fear actors who will be looking at him with envy and want to cut his legs off.” Maybe that’s the case, but most of my friends who are actors are just really, really thrilled with what I’ve got. It’s kind of humbling, actually, just to be that supported by people. People say, “It’s really nice it’s happened to somebody we’ve watched be good over the years.” And at least, you know, I’ve started at the same level with everybody. And it’s nice because I’m not as good-looking as James and there’s an awful lot I can’t do that they can do. And it’s great that just by craft you can get where I’ve gone. That’s really thrilling. I’m very grateful for the opportunities that I’ve been given.

And I think, going back to what I fear most, I kind of watched [other actors] go through [a rise in fame] and it’s …  there are just ways to engage with it and not engage with it. I think that’s the trick; I think choosing your fights or your battles, as is always the case — whether it’s your day at work or parenting or being in the public, I think you just have to be very careful.

It’s come at a time as well when I’m very fortunate: I’m working at a time of mass unemployment and economic contraction, I want to say depression, not depression. ...


雖然 James McAvoy曾開玩笑說：「Benedict根本不用去擔心那些媒體或者他的粉絲和他的新形象。他只要擔心那些個對他羨慕嫉妒恨想的演員想把把他的腿剁掉就好了。」但Benny反而更多感到演員朋友們對他的支持。（可見你真得是人見人愛的孩子阿！*^^*） “It’s really nice it’s happened to somebody we’ve watched be good over the years.”這句說的真是太好了！喜歡Benny這些日子，重新翻回過去Benny的作品，我才意識到我差點錯過一個多麼優秀的演員，也差點錯過多少部優秀的作品！還有Benny，我一點都不覺得James比你好看呦~至少我壓根沒被他的長相所吸引過~~*^^*


另一篇報導，是關於Benny對於小夏對於性的看法所做的說明。
這篇也很長，大概因為Benny本來語速就快，話夾子一開就又關不了，所以這篇也很長...:D
'Sherlock' Star Benedict Cumberbatch On the Sleuth's Sexuality and How His Own Stock Has Increased

另外有一篇相關的短文，擷取裡面Benny關於小夏對於性的看法，來源點這裡。

Q:Given that she wasn't around in the first season, how did you wrap your head around Sherlock's non-existent sex drive? 

Well, I see no reason at all why he shouldn't be sexual. Everyone recruited him to their perspective, their interpretation. I've had asexuals come up to me and thank me for representing asexuals. I don't know how that came about. I mean, the man's too busy to have sex. That's really what is it. Not every man has a sex drive that needs to be attended to. Like a lot of things in his life where he's purposely dehumanized himself, it's do to with not wanting the stuff that is time wasting, that's messy. That goes for certain relationships, as well as sexual intimacy.

小夏只是太忙了？看到這句話讓我笑翻了XD

Q：Another relationship the second season devotes a lot of time to is that between you and Irene Adler. Is theirs a romantic one?

No, it's never going to be romance with him. They play with each other like predators. It's pretty sick; they're both damaged people. There's no sentiment. But what is painfully romantic -- like in all the best love stories -- is what's left unspoken. Is there a sexual element to it? Without a doubt there is. But as you'll see it's a game of chess, and it's a very cruel, cruel game of love, if it is love.

兩人都只是對方的獵物，這真的就只是一場關於「愛」的遊戲，一場競逐遊戲...只是，在這看似火辣辣，其實卻冷冰冰的遊戲裡，卻讓我始終充滿心疼。

當小夏拿著Irene的手機盯著Irene：This is your heart, and you should never let it rule your head. You could have chosen any random number and walked out here today with anything you work for. But you just couldn't resist it, could you? 小夏雖然露出了笑容，但這一次，小夏雖然解開了謎題，我卻覺得他其實並不開心...

而後面那句：I've always assumed that love is a dangerous disadvantage. Thank you for the final proof.始終是我心中難以跨越的疼痛。或許小夏就是應該要把自己與情感切割，或許這樣才能造就一個不受情緒左右的超級偵探。但當萬物沉寂時，我總希望，小夏的心，能有所依靠...

所以親愛的醫生，不要再剪羊毛了！快點給我回倫敦！
