The world does know you for your movie roles, and you just sort of burst onto the scene, really, with Usual Suspects, and you got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for it. Just take me back to that time where you went from sort of relatively2 unknown actor to suddenly ridiculously3 famous.
全世界都认为你在电影中饰演的角色而认识你你当初可以说是以《非常嫌疑犯》突然蹿红的，也因此城得了奥斯卡最佳男配角奖。请带找回顾一卜当初那个时刻，你原本是个没有多少人知道的演员，却突然间名气大得不得。

It was a very gradual4 transition5 for me. It may not have felt that way if you were on the outside, but on the inside of it I had been working very successfully as a theater actor for a long time and had made a name for myself in New York theater. Then I started to work in television and began to make a name for myself in television. Now, what I mean by that is that people started to recognize6 me. What happened after Usual 5uspects and a number of other films I did, sort of that all came out in a span7 of about six months, was that I think suddenly people started to connect the dots. Oh, that was that guy from...Oh, he was in that...Oh...And then people start to actually learn your name.
对我来说，那是一段缓慢渐进的转变过程在外人看来也许不是这样，我作为成功的舞台剧演员其实已经有很长一段时间了，也在纽约的舞台剧界颇有名气。后来，我开始出演电视剧，也开始在电视圈闯出名声我的意思是说观众开始认得我了。后来我演《非常嫌疑犯》和其他几部电影，大约都在6个月的时间内推出，所以我想观众就开始突 然联想起这些形象了哦，他就是某部片里而的那个人……;哦，他演过那一部……; 哦……于是大家就知道我的名字了。

But winning a best supporting actor must have been, you know, a great time, but I imagine that winning a Best Actor Oscar would have been amazing. And you did that for American Beauty where you played a depressed8 suburban9 dad and husband. Help me revisit that time in your life.
不过，赢得最佳男配角奖一定很棒吧。后来又赢得奥斯卡最佳男主角奖，我想一定更是痛快你因为出演《美国丽人》里那个抑郁消沉的无趣老爸和丈夫而赢得了这个奖项。
请谈谈你人生中的那段经历。

You know, it was a... it's a remarkable acknowledgement10 from your peers11. I love the industry12 so much, I have so much respect for so many people that both I've had a chance to work with and have yet to have a change to work with, so that for the members of the Academy to have given me such a recognition was beyond my wildest dreams.
奥斯卡奖是同行对你的一大肯定。找深爱这个行业，我很敬重合作过及还没有机会合作的许多人、所以电影学院评委愿意给我这么大的肯定，实在远远超越找的梦想。

Not all of your movies though have been so well received. Pay it Forward and Life of David Gale were not, you know, hits at the box office. How do you handle13 it when a movie that you've worked on flops14? Does it particularly affect you?
不过，你也不是每部影片都卖座。《让爱传出去》和《大卫·戈尔的一生》的票房就不太好你自己参与其中的电影一旦表现不佳，你怎么面对这样的结果?你会受到很大的影响吗?

At the end of the day, the only thing that I can really say about movies is that movies aren't an actor's medium15, and so if people are disappointed in a film, actors are just a color in someone else's painting. I mean, I can tell you quite honestly, and I think there's almost any actor who's been around for a while who could say this with absolute16 conviction17, that sometimes you go and see a movie that you've made and you know in your heart you made a better movie than they cut. But you have no authorit18 with which to make that change, no matter how much you might jump Up and down and say"You just missed it!" 50, it's sometimes hard when movies don't turn out the way you hope, but you always go into them with the best of.
归根究底，我真正能够说的就是电影其实不是演员的媒体观众如果对一部电影感到失望，演员其实只能算是别人画作中的一种颜色而已。我是说、我可以坦自告诉你，而且我认为只要是在业界待过一段时间的演员，肯定都会这么说，“有时候你去看自己拍的电影，内心会知道自已当初拍的片子，比他们剪出来的成品好多了。”可是演员没有权力改变这样的结果、就算暴跳如雷大吼，“你们根本没抓到亚点!”也无济于事所以，有时候电影拍出来的结果也许不如你的期望，可是你总还是会尽心尽力把片子拍好。

What does a role have to have, theatrical20 or cinematic21 , for you to take it on?
不沦是舞台剧还电影，一个角色必须有什么样的特质，你才会愿意接演?

Nine times out of ten, I have to really like the story, and I mean the story beyond what the particular part might offer. 50metimes, and this is certainly true, I'll read a play or a screenplay22 that will have a fantastic part in a really, really lousy movie. And I think that I want to do movies that are gonna stand the test of time. You can't always, you know, in the end, to choose right, and you can't always... every movie you do won't necessarily ignite23 the public. But I also don't think that every movie that makes money is necessarily a good film, you know. 50 the barometer24 of what is good, the barometer of what does last, I think only history can tell us.
十有八九，我必须真的很喜欢其中的故事，而且不只是这个角色本身，而是整部戏的故事。我确实看过有些剧本，里面有个角色很棒，但整部电影却很差戏。我想参与的是能够禁得起时间考验的电影。你的选择当然不可能永远正确，你拍的每部影片也不一定都能够激发大家的热情。但我也不认为卖座的电影就是好电影。所以，什么样的电影是好电影，什么样的电影能够流传后世，我想只有历史能够告诉我们答案。
