All right, okay, all right.

好吧，好吧，好吧。

The way...

方式...

What you have to get over in order to do what I do for a living, and a handful of other people in this room also do for a living, is you have to get past any sense of self-consciousness.

你必須克服自我意識，才能以我為生，以及在座的其他一些人也以我為生。

You cannot care what you look like or what you sound like.

你不能在乎自己的長相或聲音。

You cannot care if you are sounding...

你不能在乎你的聲音...

You cannot be artificial.

不能矯揉造作。

You can only get up, hit the marks, and tell the truth, no matter what the line is, no matter what the circumstance is, no matter what the emotion is, that you must not fake, but recreate at that individual moment.

你只能站起來，打出標記，說出真相，無論臺詞是什麼，無論環境是什麼，無論情感是什麼，你都不能偽造，而是在那一刻再現。

Spencer Tracy said you have to hit the marks and tell the truth.

斯賓塞-特雷西（Spencer Tracy）說過，你必須擊中要害，說出真相。

That is a very hard thing to do naturally.

這是一件很難自然做到的事情。

So we are all going to take part in an acting class tonight, every single one of you.

所以我們今晚都要參加表演課，你們每個人都要參加。

All right, this first and probably most precious exercise is called repetitions.

好了，這第一個也可能是最寶貴的練習叫做重複。

If you take an acting class, which, in all honesty, I never did, but if you take an acting class, one of the ways you break down self-consciousness, which is your own concept of what you look like and how you sound, you do this little exercise called repetition.

如果你上過表演課，老實說，我從來沒上過，但如果你上過表演課，你打破自我意識的方法之一，就是你自己對自己的長相和聲音的概念，你要做一個叫做重複的小練習。

I'm going to give you a line.

我給你說幾句。

It's a very simple line.

這是一句非常簡單的臺詞。

And what you have to do, and we're going to do it out loud so everybody can get past any of that.

你要做什麼，我們要大聲說出來，這樣每個人都能克服這些困難。

No one's going to be called on the carpet, but everybody does have to participate, otherwise I'll cripple you.

沒有人會被叫到地毯上，但每個人都必須參與，否則我會讓你癱瘓。

You have to say these words.

你必須說出這些話。

Is there something I can do for you?

我能為你做些什麼嗎？

But you can't just say the words.

但你不能只是說說而已。

You have to ring out every possible meaning, every possible cadence, every possible variation of that line of dialogue.

你必須把這句臺詞的每一個可能的含義、每一個可能的節奏、每一個可能的變奏都想出來。

Is there something I can do for you?

我能為你做些什麼嗎？

In a repetitions class, you would have to stand in front of everybody else in the class and keep saying it again and again and again in a different form, and you only lose your chance to do that when you repeat yourself.

在複述課上，你必須站在全班所有人面前，以不同的形式一遍又一遍地重複說，而只有當你重複自己的時候，你才會失去這樣做的機會。

So the line is, is there something I can do for you?

那麼問題來了，我能為你做些什麼嗎？

And we are all going to now say that as many different ways as we can.

現在，我們要以各種不同的方式說出這句話。

You're just you.

你就是你

You're nobody else.

你不是別人

You're just who you are.

你今天過得很開心。

You're going to go off, and you're going to have a cup of coffee with someone that you have a great crush on, and you believe that person has a great crush on you.

你會去和一個你很喜歡的人喝杯咖啡，你相信那個人也很喜歡你。

Sometimes they don't speak your same language, but it doesn't matter because your job, the way you earn your living, is to sit in that booth and all day long say, is there something I can do for you?

有時他們與你語言不通，但這並不重要，因為你的工作，你謀生的方式，就是坐在那個亭子裡，整天說，我能為你做些什麼嗎？

You've said it 8 million times in the course of the last 3 years, right?

在過去的三年裡，你已經說過八百萬次了，對嗎？

Not only that, your spouse at home, you've been arguing with them like crazy, your kids are all brats, you'd like to go off, you haven't been to see a movie in months because you can't afford it.

Essentially, you have to deal with people that are going to possibly rob you.

從根本上說，你必須與那些可能會搶劫你的人打交道。

Because as they walk in, you don't like the color of their skin, you don't like the clothes that they're wearing, you don't like that you've seen them around before and you just know this person is going to be trouble.

因為當他們走進來時，你不喜歡他們的膚色，你不喜歡他們穿的衣服，你不喜歡你以前見過的人，你就知道這個人會是個麻煩。

And you are not going to let anybody rip you off again because you've worked too hard in order to build this little shop, in order to pay for your kids' clothes and the house that you live in.

你不會讓任何人再欺騙你，因為你為了開這個小店，為了給孩子買衣服和住的房子，已經付出了太多的努力。

So the last thing you're going to do is be polite to this person because you know that this person is probably going to steal from you.

所以，你最不能做的就是對這個人彬彬有禮，因為你知道這個人很可能會偷你的東西。

So what do you say to them?

那麼你該對他們說什麼呢？

In 3, 2, 1.

3、2、1

Right, right.

對，對

As in, you know, you sure you want to come in here right now?

你確定現在要進來嗎？

Let's try it again. 3, 2, 1.

再來一次3, 2, 1.

That's what I'm looking for.

這就是我要找的。

Alright.

好吧。

A third variation on a very simple line.

非常簡單的線條的第三種變化。

Is there something I can do for you?

我能為你做些什麼嗎？

What have you learned about yourself just in those three iterations?

僅僅在這三次迭代中，你對自己有了哪些認識？

One, that you can be kind and you can fake it.

第一，你可以善良，你可以偽裝。

Two, you can be bored and you can fake it.

因為你說的話和你說的話的方式是我們現在生活的程序和行為的一部分。

And you, the audience, we've all been in, we've all sat down and watched a movie and said, I don't believe that.

而你們，觀眾們，我們都經歷過，我們都坐下來看過一部電影，然後說，我不相信。

The reason you don't believe that is because those people didn't really go there.

你之所以不相信，是因為那些人並沒有真正去過那裡。

So if you see a movie in which somebody says, can I help you because an old lady, or is there something I can do for you because someone fell?

所以，如果你看到一部電影中有人說："老太太，我能幫你什麼嗎？"或者 "有人摔倒了，我能幫你什麼嗎？"你會怎麼想？

You, the actor that is in that place, has to be the conduit of that reality and that true procedure and behavior.

你，身在其中的行動者，必須成為現實、真實程序和行為的傳播者。

Because at the end of the day you can have as many humps and different makeup styles and hair and wigs and costumes, but if you're not actually adhering to the procedure and behavior of the moment, you're faking it, and therefore you're not part of the great social purchase that goes between the audience and the storytellers, because that's what we all are.

因為說到底，你可以有很多駝峰、不同的化妝風格、髮型、假髮和服裝，但如果你沒有真正遵守當時的程序和行為，你就是在裝，是以你就不是觀眾和講故事的人之間偉大的社會購買的一部分，因為我們都是如此。

好了，現在我們要翻轉它。

We're going to have another line.

我們將有另一條線。
