艾瑪·沃特森暫別影壇一年 只爲自我提升

British actress Emma Watson will be taking a year off from acting so that she can focus on her "personal development".

英國女演員艾瑪·沃特森將會暫別表演事業一年，這樣她便可以把精力集中在“自我提升”上。

The 'Harry Potter' star has revealed she will spend her new-found free time reading one book every week and some independent studying.

這位從《哈利波特》走出來的明星表示，她將會利用她新獲得的閒暇時間每週讀一本書，同時做一些自主性學習。

She explained: "I'm taking a year away from acting to focus on two things, really. My own personal task is to read a book a week, and also to read a book a month as part of my book club. I'm doing a huge amount of reading and study just on my own."

她對此解釋道：“我真的會有一年的時間不再演戲，我將利用這一年的時間集中精力做兩件事。我自己的個人任務就是每週讀一本書，同時也要每月讀一本我圖書俱樂部中的書。我正在依靠自己的力量做大量閱讀和研究。”

"I almost thought about going and doing a year of gender studies, then I realised that I was learning so much by being on the ground and just speaking with people and doing my reading. That I was learning so much on my own. I actually wanted to keep on the path that I'm on. I'm reading a lot this year, and I want to do a lot of listening."

“我甚至曾經考慮要做一年的性別研究，之後我意識到，在靜下心來的這段時間裏，通過和人們交談和讀書，讓我學到了很多。我曾經獨自學會了如此之多。我真的想在我正在走的這條路上繼續下去。這一年我讀了很多書，同時我還想更多的去聆聽。”

In an interview with Bell Hooks for Paper magazine, she added: "I'm reading so much and exposing myself to so many new ideas. It almost feels like the chemistry and the structure of my brain is changing so rapidly sometimes.”

在貝爾·胡克斯的紙質雜誌一篇專訪中，她補充說道：“我讀了很多書，讓自己接觸到了許多新觀點。有時那種感覺就像是我大腦內的化學成分和結構正在發生飛速的改變。”

It feels as if sometimes I'm struggling to keep up with myself. It's a really cool period of time for me. My work that I do for the UN is all very clearly outlined, but my personal views and opinions are still being defined, really. So it'll be an interesting time.

“有時候感覺我正在努力追趕自己。那段時間對於我來說真的很棒。我爲聯合國親善大使做的工作都能非常清晰的概括出來，但是我個人的觀點和意見還正在慢慢明晰的過程中。所以這將是一段有趣的時光。”
