Do you know who played Tommy Judd in the film Another Country or Freddie Page in The Deep Blue Sea?
But you may have already known the one staring the role of Mr. Darcy in the BBC TV mini-series Pride and Prejudice.
And the answer is the same, that’s Colin Firth who won the Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of King George VI in The King's Speech.
也許你并不知道他早年的作品，但是也許提到1995年BBC的小型電視劇《傲慢與偏見》中達西先生的扮演者，你可能有所熟悉。不然就再說說今年的奧斯卡影帝吧，科林·費斯，想必他在《國王的演講》中扮演的口吃國王喬治六世已給你留下了深刻的印象吧？
Born in the year of 1960, he had his debut film in 1984 but it was still 11 years before his real success in career, in 1995, Colin Firth let the world know him by casting the role of Mr. Darcy in Pride and Prejudice. Great talent really takes time to mature.
出生于1960年的科林·費斯，23歲時在電影中向世界打招呼，但是世界并沒有注意到這位尚為羞澀的年輕人。一直到1995年，科林·費斯終于憑借在《傲慢與偏見》中達西先生的一角一時爆紅英倫，揚名世界。可謂是“大器晚成”。
As the representative of gentlemen in England, Colin Firth is known as man of composure and mildness just like the role Mr. Darcy he played. However, things don’t look as it is. Colin Firth has a kind of passion under his surface and thus produces the thriller Trauma etc. But Oscar always appreciates the gentleman way, which helps him, to some extent, win the best actor for this year.
科林·費斯正如他所扮演的角色一般，被公認為是一個“紳士，沉穩和文雅”的男人。但是，這樣的紳士卻并沒有“討好”一些影評人，他們甚至說這樣的風格是“懦弱的”。可是，熟知科林·費斯的人都知道，在他溫順的表面下，潛藏著的是一股無可抑制的激情。不可否認的是奧斯卡一向偏好英倫風。英國演員象征著高貴、優雅和涵養。
Back to the film king’s speech, Colin Firth admitted that he knew little but that king stuttered. It was a challenge for Colin Firth to imitate his stammer, but Colin did well to portray the king who was laughed at by people from the childhood and faced the aggressive Germany enemy. Especially his confident performance at the last scene won the heart of the audience and the judges.
“我只記得媽媽曾說過他有口吃的毛病。”科林·費斯坦承，這是他在扮演喬治六世之前，對這個英國國王的唯一印象。口吃無疑對科林·費斯是個挑戰。但是凡是看過電影的人，往往會被科林最后那個自信的眼神傳達出的深意所征服。人們相信，喬治六世當年就是通過這種方式征服英國民眾，并最終取得二戰勝利的。所以，《國王的演講》征服評委，也理所當然。
Well there is another side about Colin Firth. He is also a singer and writer. He organized a rock band in his school year. His father once said like this：“He would have found it difficult fitting in at any school, partly because of moving and partly because he wanted to follow his own interests. He started a band with some friends, playing the guitar and being the lead singer. ” but the world would feel lucky as well, for we have a mild but passionate actor.
而科林·費斯也算是多才多藝，他在少年時曾經組建了一個樂隊，科林的父親則說：“他當時無法融入學校，一部分的原因是我們經常搬家，一部分的原因則是是科林想去追逐自己的興趣愛好。他和幾個朋友組成一個樂隊，他彈吉他并是主唱手。”但是世界應該感激我們有了一個紳士影帝。
