Emma Thompson

奧斯卡最佳女演員

Emma Thompson was born in London on April 15, 1959, into a family of actors—her father was Eric Thompson, who has passed away; and her mother, Phyllida Law, has co-starred with Thompson in several films; her sister, Sophie Thompson, is an actor as well. She attended Cambridge University, studying English Literature, and was part of the university's Footlights Group.

愛瑪湯普森于1959年4月15日出生于倫敦的一個演藝世家。她的父親是艾里克湯普森（已故）,母親是費莉達洛，曾與愛瑪共同主演過數(shù)部影片。她的妹妹蘇菲湯普森也是一個演員。她進入劍橋大學(xué)的時候，學(xué)習(xí)的是英國文學(xué)，并且是學(xué)校戲劇小組的一員。

Thompson graduated in 1980 and embarked on her career in entertainment, beginning with stints on BBC radio and touring with comedy shows. She soon got her first major break in television on the comedy skit program “Alfresco”（1983). She also worked on other TV comedy review programs in the mid-1980s, occasionally with some of her fellow Footlights alums, and often with actor Robbie Coltrane.

愛瑪在1980年畢業(yè)后便開始了她的舞臺生涯。起初，她在BBC廣播節(jié)目中做定額演出，跟著一些喜劇節(jié)目組到處跑。很快她就在電視劇上有了重要突破，1983年她編寫并出演了諷刺劇《在戶外》。1980年代中期，她還為其他電視評論節(jié)目工作。

Thompson found herself collaborating again with Fry in 1985, this time in his stage adaptation of the play “Me and My Girl” in London's West End, in which she had a leading role，playing Sally Smith. The show was a success and she received favorable reviews, and the strength of her performance led to her casting as the lead in the BBC television miniseries “Fortunes of War” (1987), in which Thompson and her co-star, Kenneth Branagh, play an English ex-patriate couple living in Eastern Europe as the Second World War erupts. Thompson won a BAFTA award for her work on the program.

1985年，湯普森與斯蒂芬佛萊再次合作，出演他的舞臺改編劇《我和我的姑娘》，演出地點在倫敦西區(qū)。她出演主角薩莉史密斯。這出舞臺劇大獲成功，愛瑪?shù)谋硌菀彩艿搅撕迷u。憑借這次成功，愛瑪獲得了主演BBC電視劇《戰(zhàn)爭財》(1987)的機會。在《戰(zhàn)爭財》中，愛瑪和肯尼思布萊納格共同主演了一對二戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)時移居?xùn)|歐的英國夫婦。愛瑪憑借此片贏得了英國電影和電視藝術(shù)學(xué)校獎。

In the late 80s and early 90s, she starred in a string of well-received and successful television and film productions, most notably her lead role in the Merchant-Ivory production of Howards End (1992)，which confirmed her ability to carry a movie on both sides of the Atlantic and appropriately showered her with trans-Atlantic honors both an Oscar and a BAFTA award.

20世紀(jì)80年代末90年代初，她出演了一系列大受歡迎的電視和電影。她在莫吉安特一伊沃里制片公司的電影《霍華德莊園》（1992)里的角色尤為突出。這個角色確立了她在大西洋兩岸的影響力，并為她贏得了盛譽——奧斯卡和英國電影和電視藝術(shù)學(xué)院雙料影后。

Since then, Thompson has continued to move effortlessly between the art film world and mainstream Hollywood，though even her Hollywood roles tend to be in more up-market productions. She continues to work on television as well, but is generally very selective about which roles she takes. She writes for the screen as well, such as the screenplay for Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility (1995)，in which she also starred as Elinor Dashwood, and the teleplay adaptation of Margaret Edson's acclaimed play Wit (2001)，in which she also starred.

此后，不管是出演文藝片，還是好萊塢主流片，愛瑪都游刃有余，雖然她的好萊塢角色更為商業(yè)化。她仍會出演電視劇，只不過對角色總是精挑細選。她也寫劇本，比如1995年的《理智與情感》（李安導(dǎo)演），同時她出演了片中埃莉諾達什伍德一角。還有一部改編自瑪格麗特埃德森廣受好評的同名舞臺劇的電視劇《深知我心》（2001），也是由她撰寫的劇本，在劇中她同樣擔(dān)當(dāng)主演。
