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

艾米莉亚·克拉克为十八岁的自己读一封信

Dear Emilia,

亲爱的艾米莉亚，

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

你刚满十八岁。身为未来的你，这里是我想给你的一些建议。

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.

你将踏上的这段旅程和你现在身边任何一个朋友的都不一样。他们做的事将带给他们喜悦和幸福，而你在做的事也许会为你带来一些困难，但终究也会带来喜悦和幸福。

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.

有些时候，会有人说，你怀揣一生的梦想是不可能实现的——但它是能实现的。我知道你这次没能考进戏剧学院，不过你以后会的。你有能力战胜它。

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.

你可以去参加派对，你会在派对上会玩得很尽兴，不过你不用做大家都在做的事。你知道的，喝健怡可乐没什么不对——绝对没有。

Eighteen-year old Emilia,

十八岁的艾米莉亚，

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，我知道你晓得那是什么。你没你想的那么胖。

注：Sunscreen Song，又叫Everybody’s Free或To Wear Sunscreen，美国90年代大热的一首歌曲，内容主要是通过劝告年轻人勤涂抹防晒霜，由浅入深，给予青年人生建议。

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.

有些女人天生是一种样子，另外一些女人则是另一种，也许是完全不同的样子。而人们爱极了那另外一些女人的样子，因为她们像所谓的女人。

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.

现在，我要给你一些恋爱方面的建议。恋爱会带来其他事物。你会觉得人们在打量你，在以某种方式看着你，让你觉得不自在或被评头论足。但很可能他们并没有，很可能他们只是觉得见到你很开心。

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.

你会有些痛彻心扉的心碎体验。你会有，嗯，比如说，一些领悟。你会那么痛苦的原因是，心碎会让你产生自我怀疑。

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.

你全心奉献，掏心掏肺，但某个人却说他们并不真的喜欢你那样。所以那让你感到……你并不值得拥有爱。但你是值得的，并且未来会有许多人告诉你，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.

当所有灯光都熄灭时，仍然在你生命里的那群人，是你应当真心诚意爱着的最真实的人，每天都要抱抱他们。

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，该说道别的话了，小艾米莉亚……小一点点的艾米莉亚，我只是想告诉你，嗯，你知道，现在是秋天，因为是十月。但是，冬天就要来了，还是要擦防晒乳哦！

Love, Emilia

爱你的，艾米莉亚

如果让你给过去的自己写一封信，你会怎么写？
