提到开花部分翻译:风语冰音

開花媽媽Sonia在英國肯特郡近英法海峽的海岸買了一間渡假小屋,她為兒子的成就感到驕傲。還有提到開花名字的來歷。em01
節錄關於她談到開花的段落,改天有空再慢慢翻譯啦。
And if anyone knows about film star requirements it must surely be Sonia, from Canterbury, mother to one of the world’s most famous Hollywood actors, Orlando Bloom.
She said: "He’s the second most sought-after hit on Google after Paris Hilton and before, I think, diabetes."
One of Orlando’s middle names is Blanchard and, Sonia added, it is from this side of the family, a great great grandfather and uncle whose surname was Blanchard, that he inherited his talent for acting.
He was named Orlando, she added, so that it would be unforgettable in any job reference.

Sonia added: "Funnily enough, Orlando means ‘famous throughout the land’."
Like almost any mother, she is extremely proud of her 30-year-old son. She would like to see him settled with a "nice English girl", but added: "I never ever want to be quoted as saying how fantastic he is because I cringe every time I see it!
"But he always seemed to have a very special presence. He went to St Edmunds School and is very much a Canterbury boy. He was very good at acting at school.
"He’s terribly, terribly modest but very down to earth. He’s got a humility which is touching."
Orlando has been to see Sonia’s seaside project. Sonia said: "It was rather funny because the old lady next door came across at the weekend when he was having a look at the place. Orlando gave her a big hug. I told her afterwards that she’d had a hug from Orlando Bloom and she couldn’t believe it!"

如果有一个人知道电影明星的需求,她一定是来自坎特伯雷的索尼娅,世界上最有名的好莱坞演员之一奥兰多布鲁姆的妈妈。
她说:“他在Google搜索排名中,排在‘帕里斯希尔顿‘之后,而在,我想是,‘糖尿病‘之前。”
“Orlando的middle names的其中之一是Blanchard,“索尼娅说,“这出自这方家庭的高祖父和叔叔的姓,他继承了他的表演天份。“
“给他取名奥兰多,“她补充说,“这样,不管他从事什么职业,都不会被人忘记。”
索尼娅说:"很有趣,Orlando的意思是‘闻名整个大陆’。”
几乎任何母亲一样,她为他30岁的儿子而非常骄傲。她想看到他和一个“可爱的英国女孩”确定感情,但又说:"我永远都不想被引述说他有多么好,因为每次看到那些都会感到畏缩! "
"但他的存在总是非同寻常。他进入St Edmunds学校学习,是一个典型的坎特伯雷男孩。他在学校很擅长表演。"
“他非常非常谦逊,并且非常脚踏实地。他有一种令人感动的谦恭。”
奥兰多已经来看过了索尼娅的海边别墅。索尼娅说:"这次经历相当有趣,因为他来看的时候,隔壁的老太太来度周末。奥兰多给了她一个大拥抱。事后我告诉她,她得到了一个奥兰多布鲁姆的拥抱,而她真的难以置信!” |
