《權力的遊戲》第七季正在熱播中。你有沒有在追？

「龍媽」的扮演者艾米莉亞·克拉克（Emilia Clarke）因為這一角色吸粉無數。

她曾給18歲的自己寫過一封信。

那個當初沒能如願考上戲劇學院的自己現在已經變成了一個萬眾矚目的演員。

雖然外表條件並不突出，但她卻能用自己的幽默和堅持打動導演，為自己贏來想要的機會。

Emilia Clarke Reads a Letter to Her 18-Year-Old Self

艾米莉亞·克拉克為十八歲的自己讀一封信

Dear Emilia,

親愛的艾米莉亞，

You just turned 18. So, as your future self, here is some advice that I’d like to give you.

你剛滿十八歲。身為未來的你，這裡是我想給你的一些建議。

This particular journey that you’re on is unlike anyone of your friends that you’re with right now. What they’re doing is gonna bring them joy and happiness, and what you’re doing is also gonna bring you maybe a little more struggle, and some joy and happiness as well.

你將踏上的這段旅程和你現在身邊任何一個朋友的都不一樣。他們做的事將帶給他們喜悅和幸福，而你在做的事也許會為你帶來一些困難，但終究也會帶來喜悅和幸福。

There are gonna be times when someone says that dream that you’ve had your entire life is not possible — it is. I know you didn’t get into drama school this time around, but you will. You have the strength to overcome it.

有些時候，會有人說，你懷揣一生的夢想是不可能實現的——但它是能實現的。我知道你這次沒能考進戲劇學院，不過你以後會的。你有能力戰勝它。

And you can go to the parties, and you’re gonna have fun at the parties, but you don’t need to do everything that everyone’s doing. You know, ain’t nothing wrong with a Diet Coke — ain’t nothing wrong.

你可以去參加派對，你會在派對上會玩得很盡興，不過你不用做大家都在做的事。你知道的，喝健怡可樂沒什麼不對——絕對沒有。

Eighteen-year old Emilia,

十八歲的艾米莉亞，

I’m gonna quote this sunscreen song at you. I know you know it. You are not as fat as you think you are.

我要引用那首「防晒乳之歌」了，我知道你曉得那是什麼。你沒你想的那麼胖。

註：Sunscreen Song，又叫Everybody’s Free或To Wear Sunscreen，美國90年代大熱的一首歌曲，內容主要是通過勸告年輕人勤塗抹防晒霜，由淺入深，給予青年人生建議。

There are some women who look some way, and there are other women who look another way, like, a whole other way. And the way that the other women look, people love, because they look like women.

有些女人天生是一種樣子，另外一些女人則是另一種，也許是完全不同的樣子。而人們愛極了那另外一些女人的樣子，因為她們像所謂的女人。

So, when it comes to relationship advice, there’s other things that come along with relationships. You think that they’re, like, inspecting everything and, you know, and looking at you in a way of, sort of, that makes you feel uncomfortable or judged or whatever it is. Chances are they’re not. Chances are they’re just super happy to be there.

現在，我要給你一些戀愛方面的建議。戀愛會帶來其他事物。你會覺得人們在打量你，在以某種方式看著你，讓你覺得不自在或被評頭論足。但很可能他們並沒有，很可能他們只是覺得見到你很開心。

You\’re gonna feel some serious heartbreak. You’re gonna feel some, like, proper… some proper things. And the reason why it’s gonna hurt so much, is because that heartbreak is gonna make you doubt yourself.

你會有些痛徹心扉的心碎體驗。你會有，嗯，比如說，一些領悟。你會那麼痛苦的原因是，心碎會讓你產生自我懷疑。

You put yourself out on a plate and you bare everything, and someone says that they don’t really like that. So that makes you feel… like you’re not worth it. But you are, and there’s lots of people who are gonna tell you that you are worth it.

你全心奉獻，掏心掏肺，但某個人卻說他們並不真的喜歡你那樣。所以那讓你感到……你並不值得擁有愛。但你是值得的，並且未來會有許多人告訴你，你是值得的。

The people in your life, when all the lights are off, are the real people who you really love. Just hug them, like, every day.

當所有燈光都熄滅時，仍然在你生命里的那群人，是你應當真心誠意愛著的最真實的人，每天都要抱抱他們。

Okay. So parting words, little Emilia… littler Emilia, I\’m just gonna say that, um, you know, it\’s autumn right now, because it’s October, but… winter is coming. And wear sunscreen!

好了，該說道別的話了，小艾米莉亞……小一點點的艾米莉亞，我只是想告訴你，嗯，你知道，現在是秋天，因為是十月。但是，冬天就要來了，還是要擦防晒乳哦！

Love, Emilia

愛你的，艾米莉亞

如果讓你給過去的自己寫一封信，你會怎麼寫？
