參考譯文

妮娜·杜波夫的出現(xiàn)，使得保加利亞人終于可以說(shuō)他們成功進(jìn)軍了好萊塢。年僅21歲時(shí)，妮娜·杜波夫便已憑借著其在廣受追捧的美劇《吸血鬼日記》中所扮演的埃琳娜·吉爾伯特，獲得了國(guó)際上的認(rèn)可。

妮娜出生于保加利亞首都索非亞，但她在兩歲時(shí)便和父母移民到了加拿大。妮娜熱衷于藝術(shù)，在安大略省的多倫多，她更是獲得了發(fā)展其演藝天賦的機(jī)會(huì)。

她參加了舞蹈、體操、戲劇、音樂(lè)和視覺(jué)藝術(shù)方面的課程。然而，正是她的模特工作使她開(kāi)始接拍商業(yè)廣告，轉(zhuǎn)而獲得了試鏡的機(jī)會(huì)。

2009年，妮娜憑借《吸血鬼日記》取得了重大突破。她扮演了一名在兩個(gè)吸血鬼兄弟間糾纏的年輕女孩。在第二季中，她還扮演了保加利亞籍的凱瑟琳·皮爾斯—一位來(lái)自兩兄弟的過(guò)去的吸血鬼。

在一共參演了20部美國(guó)和加拿大的電影及電視劇后，妮娜已經(jīng)成為了好萊塢發(fā)展最快的明星之一。

在對(duì)她的采訪中，妮娜分享了她的計(jì)劃和對(duì)未來(lái)的期望。

作為一名年輕的好萊塢明星，你感覺(jué)怎樣？在電影中首次取得突破時(shí)，你又有什么想法和感受？

能夠成為一名職業(yè)演員是很令人滿足的。同時(shí)，這也是一個(gè)漫長(zhǎng)的過(guò)程，不是一天兩天就能做到的，要經(jīng)過(guò)很多的訓(xùn)練和努力。但這對(duì)于我來(lái)說(shuō)是一段美好的旅程，而現(xiàn)在我正處于一個(gè)對(duì)工作十分自信的狀態(tài)。我正不斷地接受挑戰(zhàn)，而且樂(lè)在其中。

就目前來(lái)看，你從自己的演藝經(jīng)驗(yàn)中學(xué)到了什么？作為一名演員，這些演藝經(jīng)驗(yàn)對(duì)你有什么好處？

在《吸血鬼日記》中，我得到了難得的機(jī)會(huì)—去扮演兩個(gè)完全不同的角色。這是一個(gè)少有且獨(dú)特的機(jī)會(huì)，我覺(jué)得可以在如此令人驚艷的電視劇中同時(shí)扮演兩個(gè)這么棒的角色實(shí)在太幸運(yùn)啦！每天都是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)，但我喜歡挑戰(zhàn)，所以這是件非常好的事情！

你還這么年輕，你希望你的職業(yè)生涯如何發(fā)展呢？你如今正努力去實(shí)現(xiàn)的目標(biāo)又是什么呢？

我會(huì)繼續(xù)對(duì)我的工作抱有很高的期望，我希望可以完善自我，繼續(xù)尋找具有挑戰(zhàn)性的角色并且拍攝好的電影和電視劇。我想要轉(zhuǎn)向電影界，并且嘗試不同類型的片種，比如浪漫喜劇片、劇情片和動(dòng)作片。

為了追求你的演藝事業(yè)，你放棄了你的大學(xué)學(xué)業(yè)。作出這個(gè)選擇有多艱難？

曾經(jīng)有一段時(shí)間，我一邊上著大學(xué)，一邊繼續(xù)當(dāng)著一名女演員。但當(dāng)我出演的角色變得越來(lái)越重要，接拍電影的機(jī)會(huì)陸續(xù)到來(lái)的時(shí)候，我不得不作出選擇。無(wú)論在什么事情上想獲得成功，你都必須投入全部的精力。我對(duì)于我的選擇充滿信心，而且很開(kāi)心我選擇了我的演藝事業(yè)。我私底下會(huì)繼續(xù)閱讀和學(xué)習(xí)，而且會(huì)一直這么做。我從來(lái)不認(rèn)為我會(huì)停止學(xué)習(xí)，直到我生命的最后一天，我都將不斷地拓展自己的知識(shí)。此時(shí)此刻，我覺(jué)得我正在做著對(duì)自己來(lái)說(shuō)正確的事情。
